Authorised access legal note for installers
Why your SOP should mention computer misuse laws, customer MSAs, and chain-of-custody for credentials.
Every technician should understand that unauthorised access to a network device—even “just to test”—can violate computer crime laws and customer contracts. SADP is legitimate when the customer has authorised you in writing for the scope you are performing.
Paper trail
Store signed work orders, change tickets, and password handover forms. If access is unclear, pause and get a named approver.
Training
Annual refreshers beat one-time onboarding. Pair legal slides with hands-on VLAN labs.
Our stance
sadptool.net content assumes ethical, documented work. If that is not your situation, stop and get proper authorisation.
