The Problem
Lack of confidentiality awareness resulting in press leaks due to inadvertent disclosures.
​
Team members are unaware how much information they can share about a confidential project, and unsure how much information non-member knows about a confidential project.


The Challenge
Design a way for the legal team to track every single individual disclosed on confidential projects in order to (1) control the flow of information, (2) educate employees how much information can be shared, and (3) establish confidentiality awareness.
Create a proposed solution within 3 weeks.
