How this page supports country onboarding
Linked from every country onboarding page before technical discovery, security review, or detailed commercial scoping.
Important note
This page is general onboarding and review information. It is not legal, tax, regulatory, cybersecurity, financial, or compliance advice, and it does not create certification claims or service commitments. Final obligations belong in signed agreements and approved project documents.
Purpose
What the NDA is for
The NDA is designed to let both parties discuss confidential product, roadmap, business, customer, pricing, technical, architecture, procurement, and security information before a full services agreement is signed.
An NDA does not create an obligation to start a project, assign intellectual property, reserve resources, accept a client, disclose every internal control, or bypass legal/security review.
- Mutual NDA available for two-way confidential discussions.
- Client-provided NDA can be reviewed when procurement requires client paper.
- Sensitive security evidence may still require additional approval even after an NDA.
Coverage
Information usually covered
Typical coverage includes non-public business plans, technical designs, software architecture, product ideas, customer information, budgets, vendor details, access models, security questionnaires, roadmap details, and project-specific documents.
- Confidential information definition and exclusions.
- Permitted use of information only for evaluating or performing the engagement.
- Disclosure limits for employees, contractors, advisors, affiliates, and legal/procurement reviewers.
- Return or destruction of confidential materials where applicable.
Security
What not to share through public channels
Even with an NDA, clients should not send passwords, private keys, production secrets, raw regulated datasets, payment card data, customer exports, or access tokens through public forms or ordinary email.
If secrets or sensitive production data are required, the transfer method, access approval, retention window, and deletion process should be agreed separately.
Preparation
Buyer checklist
Confirm whether mutual NDA or client paper is preferred.
Identify signatory names and legal entities.
Confirm whether affiliates, contractors, or advisors need access.
Avoid sending secrets or regulated data through public forms.
Confirm whether security evidence requires NDA plus internal approval.
