DEK treats every customer's intellectual property as sacred. From the moment you share a drawing, your designs, specifications, and business information are protected by enforceable agreements, controlled access systems, and a culture of confidentiality.
Protecting your IP isn't an afterthought — it's the first step in our engagement process. Before any CAD file is opened or drawing reviewed, a binding NDA is in place. This applies to every project, every customer, without exception. We maintain a library of pre-approved NDA templates for rapid execution and can accommodate customer-specific confidentiality requirements.
Both parties protected. Our template covers technical data, pricing, business terms, and manufacturing processes.
We review and sign your company's NDA. Legal review completed within 24 hours for standard agreements.
Confidentiality obligations survive termination. Your data is never shared, repurposed, or used for competitive advantage.

Beyond legal agreements, DEK enforces IP protection through physical security, digital access controls, employee training, and supply chain management.
All customer files stored on access-controlled servers. Engineers can only view files assigned to their projects — no cross-customer visibility.
Production floor access restricted. Visitor logs maintained. ITAR-controlled areas marked with separate access credentials.
Every DEK employee signs a personal confidentiality agreement as part of their employment contract. Annual training reinforces obligations.
Subcontractors receive only the minimum information needed. No drawings shared without your approval. Back-to-back NDAs enforced.
Your design files, specifications, and business data are protected by the same IT security infrastructure used by regulated defense and medical manufacturers. Our systems are regularly audited and penetration-tested to maintain the highest level of protection.
All files encrypted at rest and in transit
