Annex A 6.6
Confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements
Confidentiality agreements reflecting the organisation's needs are identified, documented, reviewed and signed.
What an assessor looks for
Show signed agreements for staff and third parties, and evidence that the wording is periodically reviewed rather than inherited indefinitely.
Where it usually fails
Agreements are held for employees but not for contractors, visitors or supplier personnel with equivalent access.
