Avoid a personal WikiLeaks scandal

Dec. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- The whistle blowing website WikiLeaks has gained a great amount of news coverage over the last few weeks. This is unsurprising as the site has been leaking some extremely sensitive documents, to the anger and discontent of most of the world’s governments.

These documents and cables would normally be kept top secret, but they have recently been published online for the entire world to see by the WikiLeaks website. In response to these happenings, the issues of secrecy, confidentiality and non-disclosure have become extremely relevant and topical subjects.

As a small or medium enterprise (SME), ensuring that your business’s sensitive information and agreements are fully protected by law is essential. Though many small or medium businesses may find these types of documents and agreements complicated to draw up, fortunately SimplyDocs can provide legal and business documents templates of the highest quality- making SimplyDocs the ideal resource for any business.

The issue of confidentiality is essential for any type of business.  If there is a lack of it within the company it can be extremely damaging for the business, on many different levels. A non-disclosure agreement or a confidentiality agreement will clearly set out what information, and to what nature information can be shared between two parties. This can then effectively prevent sensitive information from reaching a third party.

When this type of legal agreement is completed and signed, both parties give their written consent to not disclose or disseminate the information which has been covered in the written agreement. Such confidentiality agreements are often entered into when two companies are about to go into business together.

Reflecting on the current issues that have been created by the various WikiLeaks scandals, it is clear how damaging similar situations could potentially be for any business.

SimplyDocs understands that dealing with such agreements and legal issues can be a time consuming, difficult and expensive process for the majority of businesses. However the issues that could potentially arise from a business not protecting themselves by taking out the appropriate legal agreements may be even more costly to the business in the future.
