Project Confidentiality Policy |
FlexOrbits understand the importance of IP and secrecy of our client's confidential
information. We see this as the critical element for maintaining a long-term relationship
with our clients'. We are committed to protecting customer IP throughout the project
lifecycle. Key areas of our IP protection policy & project confidentiality include:
- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) with Client
- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) with Employees
- Project-related IP protection
- Confidential Document Control
- Other Security Measures
|
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) 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 to information
- Levels of Risk (data loss, unauthorized alteration, etc.)
|
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) with Employees
- At the time of joining, all employees are required to sign a proprietary information
and inventions agreement. Individual NDAs are also signed with every employee on joining
- Employees 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
- Employees cannot use any unfair competitive practices upon termination of employment or
engage in any business during employment
- Any confidential information received from third parties and clients are held in strictest
confidence and employees are not allowed to disclose or use it, except as necessary to perform
his/her obligations as is consistent with third parties

information and records pertaining to any idea, process, trademark, service mark, invention,
technology,
computer program, original work of authorship, design, formula, discovery, patent, or copyright
conceived or developed has to be promptly disclosed to the company

Project-related IP protection
- Dedicated resources
made available for all projects. This prevents unauthorized usage of resources and protects all
proprietary information of our clients
- 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 Random checks are made on emails that go out of
official mailbox that exceeds permitted size (with or without attachments)
|
Other Security Measures
- The
Development Center
is fully protected externally and internally with secure and restricted access to all sensitive
resources. Every employee is provided with an Identification card.
- Security staff monitors the facility around the clock and checks the goods going inside
and coming out of the
development center.
- Our strict staff selection and personnel policies allow us to build stable and
highly professional working teams
for both
offshore
and
on-site
software development
projects and ensure non-disclosure.
- We perform background checks on each individual we hire. This includes reference check,
peer-references, verification of academic records, police record verification, home/permanent
address verification on each employee of the company. Since bank accounts are opened through
our company that provides us with an extra layer of cross verification.
