Protecting your trade secrets requires the identification and classification of confidential company information and the implementation of effective safeguards. Among these, contractual measures play a key role. In this respect, the company will ensure that non-disclosure agreements are concluded and that clauses protecting its know-how are included in its contracts (confidentiality clause, non-competition clause, etc.).
In addition, the company will ensure, on a practical level, that its digital and physical working environment is subject to adequate security measures.
Finally, the organisation of protection requires a privacy policy within the company as well as a training programme on the processes to be followed when employees enter, work and leave the company.
This is a combination of legal, IT and managerial skills. It is important to include these different perspectives in the preparation, implementation, evaluation and modification of these strategies.
