T The development of digital technology and social media, which has facilitated the rapid dissemination of information, has created new challenges for the protection of trade secrets, particularly in the culinary industry, which relies heavily on the confidentiality of recipes, processing methods, and company operational standards. the research problems addressed in this study are: (1) what constitutes the criteria for \"reasonable and appropriate efforts\" in maintaining confidentiality under law number 30 of 2000 concerning trade secrets, and (2) whether solaria has implemented such efforts in protecting its trade secrets, this study employs a normative legal research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. the findings indicate that the criteria for \"reasonable and appropriate efforts\" under law number 30 of 2000 include the implementation of confidentiality agreements, restriction of access to information based on the need-to-know principle, physical and digital security measures, and supervision of the use of confidential information, solaria has undertaken various administrative and operational measures to safeguard the confidentiality of its business information through operational standardization, controlled access to specific information, and the imposition of confidentiality obligations on its employees. nevertheless, several weaknesses remain, including the lack of optimal education and dissemination regarding trade secret protection among employees, as well as the absence of a fully effective system for restricting access to strategic information. therefore, solaria should strengthen its internal protection mechanisms and enhance employees\' legal awareness to ensure effective and sustainable trade secret protection.
