Dear MCGers,
I wanted to get the opinion of museum staff at Local Authority Museums who have been affected by the implementation of the Government Connect Secure Extranet (GCSX) and the requirement on the local authority to ensure compliance via the Code of Connection (CoCo).
For those that wish to know more: http://www.govconnect.gov.uk/what-is-gcsx.php
Whilst there needs to be secure protection of data we have had a number of instances where this has already stifled creativity (e.g. not being able to upload images to a project website and partake in real-time sharing of ideas and other like projects, not able to use Facebook etc...).
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Best wishes.
