[QUOTE="sarthur, post: 654066, member: 93622"] It will be a VMWare restricted VM with an expiry date set. The expiry is synced to a time server so cannot be avoided. We will remote directly into the VM and hence will not have access to the contractors host machine with their personal data The VM will be locked down with the applications they need for their job, they won't have permissions to install anything. There is nothing to stop someone from sharing company information unless you sit over their should during all the work they do and then press the delete key yourself. At the end of the day there is a slight level of trust that needs to be placed. Besides, we will have a software agent installed that will "phones home" with metadata that will help us track if any company data is leaked. At the end of the day, if someone is techy enough they are going to be able to get around most restrictions. The point is to have an auditable environment for use on BYO devices and also to supply Mac and Linux users with reusable Office/Windows licences. Thanks for your input. [/QUOTE]
