Security & Confidentiality

Security & Confidentiality

At ADR Studio Management, we work on sensitive projects for global clients across industries — from blockchain to luxury, from AI to hardware. As a result, security and confidentiality are not just legal requirements — they are a matter of integrity and trust.


🔐 Our Philosophy

We believe that freedom comes with responsibility. We trust our team to work independently from any location, but that trust is built on shared values:

  • Protect client and company information

  • Use systems responsibly

  • Avoid unnecessary risks

We don’t enforce overbearing controls — we rely on your professionalism, common sense, and respect for the work we do.


🧾 NDA & Agreements

All team members, freelancers, and collaborators must sign:

  • A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

  • A Service or Collaboration Agreement

These documents outline:

  • What can and cannot be shared

  • Responsibilities toward client material

  • Limitations on IP usage and file distribution

📎 Contact your Project Manager or HR if you need to review your NDA.


💻 Devices & Access

  • Use personal or company-approved devices with password protection

  • Lock your screen when stepping away from your workspace

  • Avoid using public/shared computers for company work

  • Do not share login credentials with anyone — even teammates

  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) should be enabled where possible


☁️ File & Data Management

  • Store all project files on Google Drive or Box Drive — not local machines, unless necessary

  • Keep folders organized and avoid duplication or accidental deletion

  • Use shared access settings thoughtfully — share view-only when applicable

  • Backups and archive files must remain within ADR’s cloud systems


📢 Sharing & Communication

  • Never share client work publicly without written permission

  • Avoid discussing internal work in public spaces (events, forums, etc.)

  • Be mindful of screen sharing during calls — close unrelated tabs or sensitive documents

  • Double-check recipients before forwarding emails or files


🛠 Tools We Don't Use

To protect our workflow and ensure confidentiality:

  • Do not use personal cloud services (Dropbox, iCloud, etc.) for ADR work

  • Avoid free or unverified online tools that require uploading client files

  • VPNs are optional but not required — do not access restricted content on behalf of ADR


🚨 If Something Goes Wrong

If you suspect a data leak, account breach, or accidental sharing:

  1. Notify your Project Manager immediately

  2. Flag the issue in Slack (privately or in #adr_02_projects_management)

  3. We’ll handle it with discretion — transparency is better than silence


🔐 Respect confidentiality like you’d protect your own identity. Security isn’t just policy — it’s the foundation of the trust clients place in us.
