Data Handling by Agreement
Document the information in scope, approved environments, transfer methods, confidentiality requirements and retention expectations.
Security
Security Controls Aligned to the Work
We identify access, confidentiality and data handling requirements before delivery begins, then build the agreed controls into the workflow.
Responsible Operations
Protecting Project Information Requires Clear Boundaries
Security needs vary by project, data type, client environment and specialist access model. During scoping, Topnotch works to identify relevant information, permitted uses, access requirements, transfer methods, retention expectations and escalation contacts.
The approved delivery plan should document the controls that apply to the engagement. Clients should not send confidential, regulated or sensitive project information through general website forms or initial email unless an appropriate secure method has been agreed.
What to Expect
How Security Enters the Delivery Process
Controlled Access
Limit project access to the people and tools needed for the approved work, with responsibilities communicated before production begins.
Issue Escalation
Define who should be notified, what information is required and how work should be contained when a potential security issue is identified.
