How do we ensure the confidentiality of your projects?

Discover how Hybster implements strict security levels to protect the confidentiality of client projects, combining physical, digital, and enhanced confidentiality security.

Hybster has put in place different levels of security to actively and permanently protect the confidentiality of its clients' projects.

Securing premises and data

We have invested in physical and electronic security systems for the protection of goods and data. All sensitive project information is stored on remote, secure servers. Access is given only to engineers who need to access the stored data. We have systematised the double authentication on all our servers since 2021.
Each customer and supplier visits are also kept in the access register to the building
access to the production hall and the design office are strictly controlled by the management team.

The NOA, and more!

Each project begins with the signing of a confidentiality agreement with our client and external partners. Collaboration contracts, employment contracts of our employees are also written to ensure a high level of maximum discretion about our activities and those of our clients.

The results of our research and development work are also archived in a laboratory notebook.

Our projects are all codifiedThis is to ensure that only the information needed for development is passed on to our suppliers.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How does Hybster protect client project confidentiality?

Hybster implements several levels of protection: systematic signing of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), physical security of files and prototypes, digital security of project data, and limiting access to information to only those collaborators strictly necessary for the project. Confidentiality is integrated into the commercial process.

Does Hybster sign an NDA before studying a project?

Yes, Hybster systematically signs a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before any detailed discussion about a client project. The NDA covers technical documents, prototypes, plans, commercial data, and trade secrets. This practice is standard and is established from the very first stages of commercial contact with the project owner.

How does Hybster secure the digital files for projects?

Digital files are stored on secure servers with role-based restricted access. Transfers use encrypted protocols. Project files are segmented so that only collaborators involved in the project have access to sensitive information. Backups are also protected.

How does international subcontracting respect confidentiality at Hybster?

When Hybster manages production with industrial partners (France, China, Eastern Europe), all partners sign an NDA with Hybster before any project communication. Hybster remains the sole client contact and filters the information transmitted, limiting the spread of sensitive data to subcontractors.

Who owns the intellectual property of a project commissioned to Hybster?

The client remains the owner of all their intellectual property (concept, design, plans, produced know-how). Hybster acts as a design and manufacturing service provider without claiming any rights over the finished product. Tooling, such as moulds, also remains the property of the client by default, unless agreed otherwise.
