No-Upload Sensitive Document Checklist

If a document contains customer data, legal terms, payroll information, IDs, or unreleased company plans, treat upload decisions as security decisions.

Short answer

If a document contains customer data, legal terms, payroll information, IDs, or unreleased company plans, treat upload decisions as security decisions.

Why it matters

  • Inspect filenames and extra pages
  • Remove customer and payroll details where possible
  • Use approved systems for regulated files

What to know

Teams often leak context accidentally through screenshots, filenames, metadata, and extra PDF pages.

A no-upload checklist helps non-technical teammates make safer decisions without waiting for a security review every time.

When upload is unavoidable, reduce the document to the minimum necessary content and use approved systems.
