ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 73 of 100
An NDA obligates parties to keep confidential information learned through their relationship secret. In system development, the outsourcer and outsourcee may receive trade secrets, personal information, designs, source material, or business plans. A Non-Disclosure Agreement defines protected information, permitted use, handling duties, exclusions, duration, and consequences of breach.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- (a) describes an agreement defining IT service content and levels, such as an SLA
- (b) describes a sales contract involving transfer of ownership in exchange for payment
- (d) describes a contract for completion of specified work at the contractor's discretion and responsibility
Key rule: The defining purpose of an NDA is confidentiality: information disclosed for an authorized purpose must not be improperly used or revealed.
