- Description: When a digital incident occurs there are generally three courses of ac-tions that are taken, generally dependant on the type of organisation within which the incident occurs, or which is responding the event. In the case of law enforcement the priority is to secure the crime scene, followed by the identification of evidentiary sources which should be dispatched to a specialist laboratory for analysis. In the case of an inci-dent military (or similar critical infrastructures) infrastructure the primary goal becomes one of risk identification and elimination, followed by re-covery and possible offensive measures. Where financial impact is caused by an incident, and revenue earning potential is adversely af-fected, as in the case of most commercial organisations), root cause analysis, and system remediation is of primary concern, with in-depth analysis of the how and why left until systems have been restored.

- Description: Organisations are publishing electronic documents on their websites, via email to clients and potentially un-trusted third parties. This trend can be attributed to the ease of use of desktop publishing/editing soft-ware as well as the increasingly connected environment that employ-ees work in. Advanced document editors have features that enable the use of group editing, version control and multi-user authoring. Unfortu-nately these advanced features also have their disadvantages. Metadata used to enable the collaborative features can unintentionally expose confidential data to unauthorised users once the document has been published.

- Description: To prevent the accidental, or deliberate, publication of documents contain-ing hidden information the organisation needs to have an Electronic Publi-cation Policy, more importantly though, it needs to have the Technical Infra-structure in place to enforce the policy. This paper outlines such a Technical Infrastructure.
