Photo Editing - Project Security Measures

At Flatworld Solutions, we recognize that all information and associated processes, intellectual property, and trade secrets are valuable assets, and that the management of this data is the topmost concern of our clients. Through our stringent project security procedures and policies, we ensure that the sensitive information sent to us remains safe and protected.

All our photo editors have to undergo stringent background checks before joining our team, so as to prevent any conflict of interests. Before the commencement of any project, all our staff members are also required to sign an NDA, thereby maintaining the confidentiality of your data and images. We further ensure the information security of our customers' photo editing project by spot checking all our transmission and storage devices for their effectiveness, efficiency and proper usage at regular intervals.

Data Security Measures We Have in Place

Security is an integral part of the information sharing process that is essential to our corporate endeavor. Our security policies and practices therefore ensure a safe and rewarding outsourcing experience by focusing on the following -

• Secure Encryption Practices - Every workstation at Flatworld Solutions utilizes unique state-of-the-art encryption algorithms for folder/file structures and email communications
• Stringent Backup Methods - We maintain our data backup equipment within highly secured zones and on dedicated servers. Between projects, the data is completely scrubbed to ensure that no unintentional transfer of sensitive information ever takes place
• Data Cleansing - After the completion of a project, we destroy all project related files and documents, and if requested, transfer the meticulously labeled source files to our clients
• Restricted Sharing - Only our team managers have access to the source files and keep a watchful eye on the employees with whom the file is shared. As a rule, we do not share files with other departments within our office. For project related tasks, we ensure that we only use electronic copies of relevant portions
