Purpose

At Sourcegraph, we prioritize security, efficiency, and a collaborative work environment. This Clear Desk Policy ensures we protect our intellectual property, maintain data privacy, and foster an organized workspace.

Scope

This policy is for all Sourcegraph teammates, contractors, and partners working in co-working spaces, while traveling and working at customer offices.

Guidelines:

• Device Security: Lock your screen before stepping away. When not in use, store laptops and other equipment securely, especially when working in public or shared spaces.
• Securing Sensitive Information: Physical and digital assets with sensitive or proprietary data should be securely stored when not in use and never left accessible on shared desks or screens.
• Communal and Meeting Spaces: Sensitive information should not be discussed in communal areas. If working on sensitive data in a shared space, use a privacy screen to ensure data confidentiality. Additionally, clear all whiteboards in designated workspaces and meeting rooms before leaving to prevent the exposure of confidential information
