Non-disclosure agreement for consultants
Before a consultant reviews Fenwick Biotech's unreleased drug research, the company wants a legally binding promise that the consultant will not share any of the information with others. Which agreement should be signed?
- A.Statement of work (SOW)
- B.Non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
- C.Rules of engagement document
- D.Acceptable use policy (AUP)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
Why: An NDA legally binds the signer to keep specified information confidential. Rules of engagement govern how an authorized security test is run, and a statement of work describes the deliverables of a specific engagement. An AUP governs how users may use the company's own IT resources.
