Meaning?

Hi,

What is the meaning of safe and hidden away in the following text?

Some of the lies were safe, he'd been told. some were hidden away in memos and affidavits that the company kept buried. But the lawyer had all the memos and all the affidavits and much more.

Thanks

safe - they could not be used to cause trouble for the company. hidden away - they were in documents that were so obscure and multitudinous that no-one was likely ever to find them.
