[ILUG] security consulting legislation

[Bernhard Rohrer]

Hi guys

I just found the following perl in the private security services act 
http://www.psa.gov.ie/Website/psa/psa.nsf/the_private_security_services_act.pdf

‘‘security consultant’’ means a person who for remuneration advises
on methods of protecting property, including information recorded
in non-legible form, from vandalism, intrusion, trespass, theft or from
being otherwise damaged or interfered with but does not include—
(a) a person who advises on such methods in the ordinary
course of carrying out an audit, or
(b) an installer of security equipment;

‘‘installer of security equipment’’ means a person—
(a) who for remuneration installs, maintains, repairs or services
electronic or other devices designed, constructed or
adapted to give warning of or monitor or record
unauthorised entry or misconduct on or in the vicinity of
premises, and
(b) who may in that connection, as necessary, advise on
methods of protecting the devices from damage or
interference;

If I read this correctly it means that every company or person who even 
installs a virus scanner needs a licence from the PSA ;)
