Purpose

This guideline defines how Kiluth employees must handle documents containing personal or sensitive information (e.g., pay slips, contracts, identification documents, financial records) when using shared platforms.

The objective is to protect employee privacy, ensure data security, and maintain compliance with data protection standards (e.g., PDPA, GDPR).

Scope

This policy applies to all Kiluth employees, contractors, and interns who access or manage sensitive files while using:

Tool
1Task/project management tools (e.g., Asana, Trello, Notion, ClickUp)
2Cloud storage platforms (e.g., Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox Business, Box)

Definitions

SubjectDefinition
Sensitive InformationDocuments containing personal identifiers such as name, address, salary, ID/passport number, or financial details.
Secure Storage PlatformAuthorized cloud or internal storage system with access control, version history, and audit logs.
Shared WorkspacePlatforms where multiple employees access tasks or projects (e.g., Asana, Notion).
Private WorkspaceStorage or folders with restricted access, available only to authorized employees or departments.

Guidelines

Uploading Sensitive Documents

Uploading Sensitive Documents
✓ CorrectUpload sensitive files (e.g., pay slips, contracts, ID scans) only to a secure cloud storage platform such as Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox Business, or Box.
✓ CorrectYou may store the file in any folder you manage, provided that access is restricted to only those who need it.
✕ IncorrectDo not upload sensitive files directly to Asana, Notion, Trello, or similar project tools.
Sharing Links in Project Tools
1Store the file in a secure folder with appropriate access control.
2Generate a share link that allows only authorized personnel (e.g., project manager, HR, finance, or relevant stakeholders).
3Paste the link in the Asana card or task description instead of uploading the file.
4Add a note such as: “Sensitive file stored in a secure location. Access restricted to authorized users only.”

Access Control

Access Control
1Follow the principle of least privilege (only HR/Finance or necessary managers should have access).
2Avoid using “Anyone with the link can view.” Instead, prefer:
• Specific people only
• Anyone in the Kiluth domain with the link (if broader access is required but still controlled)
3Review permissions regularly and remove unnecessary access.

Temporary Files

Temporary Files
1If a sensitive file must be temporarily uploaded for workflow reasons:
• Use restricted access only.
• Delete the file immediately after use.
• Confirm deletion and record in the task notes.

Employee Responsibility

Employee Responsibility
1Always double-check before sharing: “Does this file contain personal or sensitive data?“
2If yes → Use a secure storage platform and share a controlled link, not a direct upload.
3If uploaded incorrectly → Delete immediately and notify HR.

Enforcement

Enforcement
1Any breach of this guideline may result in disciplinary action depending on severity.
2HR and IT will conduct regular audits of shared folders and project tools to ensure compliance.
