          Not necessarily.

          It depends what the action causing the problem is e.g. accidental data breach compared to fraud.

          One if the issues not mentioned is if an employee deliberately makes a data breach you cannot take disciplinary action against them or sack them as you have no proof which employee did it. If you did take action against an employee you suspected you would find yourself facing expensive employment tribunal costs for discrimination.

            there are tools out there that manage this sort of thing.

            I think Teamviewer does.

            Get 13 id's set up and then send them a report.Or sell it to them.

            If its a VPN then one assumes you are using a key file? Get 13 files created and get them loaded to each VPN server.

            agree with the idea of using one id is professional suicide.

              A lot of people think the same about only having one ID on here

                It is not very clear but I assume you have VPN access into the clients site for some sort of support reason? If this is the case you could have a generic VPN but as other people said you need some way of auditing access. The standard way of doing this would be to have some sort of jump server that only has access over the VPN and you would need user specific account on the jump server to get access over the VPN.

                  From the way it was described I'm guessing it s multiple VPN's, one per client, owned and administered at the client side. Hence the need to get accounts created for each client / contractor combination.

                    I think you will find the OP has a working from home arrangement and is thinking of outsourcing some work without telling the end client.
