Security & confidentiality

Agree on file access and handling before non-public documents are shared.

The first review begins with public information. If the approved work requires non-public project files, the workspace, access, and handling terms are agreed before transfer.

01

Start without sending project files

Send the public contract or award number, project stage, deadline, and a short description of the task. That is enough for the first review and proposal.

NDA available before file transfer

We can complete an NDA before non-public documents are shared. The service agreement or statement of work then records the approved scope, responsibilities, and file-handling terms.

Client-approved workspace

We agree the workspace before transfer. Where practical, work remains in a client-approved workspace rather than moving through unapproved channels.

Access limited to the engagement

Only the people named for the engagement receive access to project files. Access can be reviewed before any documents are shared.

Storage and transfer terms

The proposal identifies the approved workspace and the storage, sharing, and transmission controls available for the engagement.

Retention and deletion

Retention and deletion terms are set in the written engagement. When work is complete, we can confirm which files were delivered and the agreed treatment of working copies.

Information we do not accept

Do not send login credentials, classified information, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), export-controlled data, or restricted personal information. If a document may contain any of these, contact us before sharing it.
