We treat all client materials as confidential unless you explicitly state otherwise. This includes documentation, code, credentials, architecture details, incident information, and commercial terms. We can operate with redacted materials where necessary and will be clear about what could not be verified due to access constraints.

We request only the access needed to deliver the agreed scope. Access is limited to the engagement team and reviewed as scope changes. If elevated access is required, we align on the process with you. We avoid storing sensitive data outside agreed systems and prefer working within your collaboration and ticketing environment when possible.

We use professional channels for collaboration. If you require specific tools, encryption, or restrictions (for example, prohibiting certain messaging platforms), we adopt your standards for the engagement.

Where third-party tools are used to collaborate or deliver work, we can provide a list of relevant tools used for your engagement upon request. If your policies require pre-approval of tools or data residency restrictions, we align this during onboarding.

If AI-assisted tooling is used, it is governed by client requirements and confidentiality constraints. We do not input client secrets, credentials, or sensitive production data into third-party tools unless explicitly approved by the client in writing and appropriate controls are in place.

If we become aware of a security incident involving client information within our control, we will notify you without undue delay, coordinate on containment steps, and support investigation and remediation within the boundaries of our engagement.
