Frequently asked questions

What information should an IT consultant NDA protect?
It should protect network diagrams, system architecture, credentials, security configurations, vulnerability reports, logs, cloud environments, source code, incident response materials, and other non-public technical or business information.
Should the NDA include credential handling rules?
Yes. IT consultants often receive privileged access, so the NDA should require secure storage, non-sharing, MFA compliance, access only for authorized personnel, and return or destruction of credentials when the engagement ends.
How long should confidentiality obligations last?
Many technology NDAs use a fixed period such as three to five years, but trade secrets and highly sensitive security information may need protection for as long as the information remains confidential under applicable law.
Does an NDA replace a full IT consulting services agreement?
No. An NDA protects confidential information, but a services agreement should separately address scope of work, fees, deliverables, warranties, liability limits, data processing, insurance, and project acceptance.
