Employee monitoring is the use of specialized software installed on employee computers to track their digital activities, such as application usage and website browsing. The primary goals are to measure productivity, deter insider threats, and prevent data exfiltration.

Beyond these core functions, companies also leverage monitoring data for broader purposes, including workforce analytics, project management, time tracking, invoicing and payroll, and as a tool for business process optimization.

Employee monitoring is generally legal across most jurisdictions with minimal restrictions. Nevertheless, companies must recognize that legal limitations may govern which employee activities can be monitored and the required protocols for protecting employee data privacy.

Since Teramind's monitoring and recording features are fully customizable, they can be configured to abide by any legal, ethical, or regulatory restrictions. We strongly recommend consulting your legal counsel to ensure your implementation adheres to the specific guidelines applicable to your organization and jurisdiction.

To assist with compliance, we've created a Privacy Resources page specifically designed to help organizations meet their regulatory and policy obligations when deploying the Teramind solution. These resources guide customers on how to implement monitoring while effectively prioritizing employee privacy.
