Client Confidentiality
We understand the importance of IP and secrecy of our client confidential information. We see this as the critical element for maintaining a long-term relationship with our client. We are committed in protecting our customer IP throughout the project cycle.
Key areas of our IP protection policy & project confidentiality include:
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA’s) with Client
To ensure the security and confidentiality of information, a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is executed with each client and all private information is respected. Our NDA clearly explains:
- What will be collected from client?
- Why will it be collected?
- How will we use it? Steps we will take to protect it.
- With whom it may be disclosed / shared – for legal and security issues etc.
- Rights for access the information.
- Levels of Risk (data loss, unauthorized alteration, etc.)
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) with Employee
- At the time of joining, every employee has to sign a proprietary information and inventions agreement, individual NDAs are also signed with every employee on joining.
- Employee cannot disclose any proprietary information directly or indirectly to anyone outside the project team or company, or use, copy, publish, summarize or remove such information from the company premises.
- Employee cannot use any unfair competitive practices upon termination of employment or engage in any business during employment.
- Any confidential information received by the client is held in strictest confidence and employee is not allowed to disclose or use it, except as necessary to perform his/her obligations and is consistent with third parties.
Project-related IP protection
- Dedicated resources made available for all projects. This prevents unauthorized usage of resources and protects all proprietary information of our client.
- We have a strong ethical framework that forbids exchange of IP between projects.
- Every team dedicated to a particular client can have its own secure physical location and its own segment of the LAN.
Confidential Document Control
- Access to public email systems is disallowed and floppy and CD disk drives/writers are disabled on all desktops. Prior written permission of the Project Manager is required for usage of respective drives.
