Developing optimal algorithm

Our lawyers and IT specialists have developed the optimal way to obtain a licence for the technical protection of confidential information with minimal cost outlay on the equipment and technical means needed for this. In the opinion of the Russian Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (FSTEC), every company which uses technical means to process confidential information needs such a licence. Administrative liability as well as criminal liability are stipulated for conducting licensed types of activity without licence. 

Advice touching on different sciences

The client, a producer of baked products, contacted us to ask whether it needed to obtain a licence to produce, store, and supply the food products containing alcohol that it produced.
