  • When you choose smart WiFi from Rock MS, you’ll be protecting your brand and reducing your risk of a hefty fine. After all, an effective management system not only ensures compliance with the law; it also manages your bandwidth and users, discourages illegal downloading and criminal activity, and meets GDPR regulations.

    The Digital Economy Act 2010 is designed to implement steps to reduce online copyright infringement by end users, such as illegal downloading of copyright material and illegal file sharing – and you could be fined up to £50,000 if customers or staff download copyrighted material.

    It won’t happen to you if you put the right steps in place, though. You’ll need to be able to identify who’s using your network, under the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, too. Meanwhile, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – which came into effect on the 25 May 2018 – sets out guidelines for those providing free WiFi. You must only collect personal data when providing a service that your client has both requested.
