P.R. Laws tit. 10, § 4133
Reasonable security measures are any preventive measures that should be taken in order to limit access to information under specific circumstances. These shall be determined pursuant to any foreseeable conduct whereby the trade secret could be accessed and the nature of the risk ensuing from such conduct, as well as the cost-benefit ratio between the security measure and the trade secret.
Measures that can be deemed to be reasonable to maintain the confidentiality of the trade secret include, but are not limited to:
(a) The nondisclosure of information to individual or entities not authorized to access such information;
(b) limiting the number of persons authorized to access such information;
(c) requiring company employees authorized to access such information to sign confidentiality agreements;
(d) keeping such information in a place separate from any other information;
(e) labeling such information as confidential;
(f) taking measures to impede the indiscriminate reproduction of such information;
(g) establishing control measures for the use of or access to such information by company employees, or
(h) implementing any technologically available measures when publishing or transmitting such information over the Internet, including the use of email, web pages, message boards, and any other equivalent medium.
