I’ve been put in a rather awkward situation. My company has a new boss who is keen to put his mark on his new position. As a result IT has lost its offices and budget.
The new boss wants the servers to be located in central reception, I aired my concerns that security is now redundant if we proceed in this manner as anyone could just walk into the office, rip a disk out and run away. And that I cannot be expected to run a secure and up-to-date service unless a specific budget is allocated.
Due to the way that current law stands, as IT Manager, it is my responsibilty to ensure that my company is compliant, secure, and licensed. I have realised that I will have to get legal advice on how to proceed but I am pretty much in the dark as to what to do. Can anyone give me some advice please as to how to stop this situation getting any worse than it already is.
Morale is low
Many thanks
Purdy
