Hey everyone,

Im doing some work on monitoring and data mining a network for a large business and was wondering what sort of considerations and possible implications may monitoring activity present.

My idea would be data protection or something relating to freedom of information.

If you can think of any other legislation, specific parts mentioned or some sort of ISO that could present an issue or solution please reply.

Thanks.  

The Information Assurance Advisory Council published a comprehensive document entitled "Guide to Digital Investigations and Forensics" which has a section which relates to activity which quite adequately covers "monitoring activity".

You should also consider looking at the Information Commissioner's Office guide to Employment Practices. In particular "The Employment Practices Data Protection Code: Part 3: Monitoring at Work"
