At Silicus confidentiality of customer information is safeguarded through a strong legal framework, logical security practices, and corporate IT policies in accordance with ISO 27001 framework.

Legal Framework

At a Silicus employee level, Silicus insures that all Intellectual Property is vested in the Customer at the time of creation by having all employees, contractors and affiliates sign the IP Rights Transfer and Confidentiality Agreement Attachment to their Employment Agreement with Silicus. At an organization level, Silicus Technologies, Inc. and Silicus Technologies India Private Limited, jointly enter into legal agreements with Clients with specific verbiage relating to confidentiality, intellectual property ownership (vested with the Client) and work for hire.

• All information that is sensitive including confidential business data of the client is restricted to a limited set of users. Such information is classified as "Silicus Confidential".
• All Silicus Confidential documents are well secured in locked cabinets and never left in the open. When stored in computers, such documents or source code are protected by logical access control mechanisms like "document password", "power on” and “screen saver passwords" for PCs and when stored in servers are in folders that can be accessed only by designated persons (role based access).

Logical Security
