His article highlights areas that need to be addressed and why a periodic website and social media e-audit should be considered as part of a company's compliance routine. Topics that can be assessed during an e-audit include domain name registration, development agreements, trademarks and copyrights, terms of use, disclaimers, privacy policies, child protection, terms of sale, data security and compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act, among others.
