    Confidentiality policies

    What is confidentiality policy?

     

    Business confidentiality policy is an internal policy that safeguards the company‘s confidential and client and personnelrelated data from outside parties.

    A business confidentiality policy can be drafted by dividing the policy into two sections: one for the company to provide protection for the confidential and client and personnelrelated data, and one defining the measures to combat and detect possible data leaks; the second section summarises the prevention, detection, and reporting guidelines for a data leak.
