We are always seeking ways of strengthening IP protection awareness of employees through induction training education, annual audits and ongoing training in security control requirements, responsibilities, and generally accepted security procedures, suitable to the person's rules and responsibilities.
Non-Disclosure Agreements
The first step that OSINET takes, to assure its customers of OSINET's commitment to protecting their IP, is the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). As an act of assurance that OSINET will treat its customers' intellectual property with the utmost care, it is OSINET's policy to sign an NDA with all its customers at the start of a business. This NDA sets out the rules and responsibilities of both parties, and is strictly followed by all OSINET's employees.
