How do you avoid leaking confidential files?

Our team sometimes accidentally shares documents with people outside the company because of poorly set permissions. How can we stop this from happening?

I once worked on a project where a draft contract was mistakenly sent to a client because someone shared the wrong folder link. After that incident, we set up layered permissions — some folders could only be viewed internally, and others required explicit approval before being shared externally. We also trained the team to double-check sharing settings before sending links. On ejoi2018.org, I found some useful strategies to implement both technical and procedural safeguards. Following those, we reduced accidental leaks to zero and boosted our reputation for handling sensitive information responsibly. It’s all about making security part of your team’s daily routine.
