Document background
The Consultant NDA is essential for businesses in South Africa engaging external expertise while protecting their confidential information and ensuring regulatory compliance. This document is typically used when bringing in consultants, contractors, or professional service providers who will have access to sensitive business information, trade secrets, intellectual property, or personal information protected under POPIA. The agreement establishes clear obligations regarding information handling, confidentiality maintenance, and data protection requirements specific to South African law. It addresses both immediate confidentiality needs during the engagement and ongoing obligations after the consulting relationship ends, while incorporating necessary provisions for regulatory compliance and enforcement under South African jurisdiction.
