However, there is also the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

But before this happens you should first take preventive actions. Internal theft of a companies information must be prohibited in your employee handbook. The employee signs for this book when they come to work for you. Their access to your data is only for the furtherance of your business only and ends when they terminate. Even if you forget to remove them from your computer systems.
