Preserving file rights when copying a folder on Windows Server

We have a shared network drive running Windows Server at work.




One of the folders contains sensitive information that should only be visible to a small group of people.



The problem is that if one of those people copy and paste a folder that has read permissions for everyone into the sensitive folder, anyone will be able to access that folder if they go directly to the full path.



If there any way to set up the file server to make 100% sure that all files and folders created or copied anywhere in the tree under x:\sensitive will have the same restricted rights as x:\sensitive?
