Yes. We regularly sign non disclosure agreements and we are comfortable working under them. Confidentiality is a normal part of client work, particularly for projects involving unreleased products, internal systems or customer data.
How to arrange one
Send your NDA at the enquiry stage, before detailed discussions, so it is in place before anything sensitive is shared. Email it through your thread with us or to [email protected]. Our team will review it and either sign or come back with comments. If you do not have one, we can provide a standard mutual NDA.
What we usually look at
We sign the large majority of agreements sent to us as they are. The points we occasionally raise are the ordinary ones:
- Mutual rather than one way. We share our own methods and estimates with you, so protection running both ways is normal.
- Definite term. A reasonable duration rather than a perpetual obligation.
- Standard carve outs. Information already public, already known, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.
- Subcontractors. Where a specialist is involved, they work under equivalent confidentiality obligations.
- Portfolio use. We normally like to show completed work. If your NDA excludes that, we accept it, we just want it agreed rather than assumed.
Confidentiality without an NDA
Even with no agreement in place, we treat client information as confidential as a matter of practice. Our staff work under confidentiality obligations, access to client systems is limited to those who need it, and we do not discuss one client's work with another. Data handling is covered in our PDPA article.
For larger engagements
Where a project involves personal data at scale or regulated information, we can also discuss data processing terms and specific security arrangements alongside the NDA.
To send an agreement or request our standard version, reply to your email thread or contact [email protected].
