About our standard NDA

Our mutual NDA is drafted to be fair and balanced — protecting both your data and our methodologies equally. Key provisions include:

  • 2-year confidentiality term (extendable)
  • Broad definition of confidential information
  • Standard carve-outs for public information
  • No unilateral assignment rights
  • Mutual — protects both parties equally
  • Governed by UK or US law (your preference)

We can accommodate alternative jurisdictions or specific amendments — note them in the Special Terms field.

DATA PROTECTION

Why we require an NDA before analysis

01
Your vendor pricing data is commercially sensitive

The pricing you pay — or the pricing you're negotiating — is competitive intelligence. If it leaked to a vendor's sales team, your negotiating position would be compromised. Every submission to VendorBenchmark is covered by a mutual NDA to prevent that from happening. We treat your data with the same care you do.

02
We protect our methodology equally

Our benchmark database, transaction data, and analytical methodologies represent significant proprietary investment. The mutual NDA protects our work in the same way it protects yours. It's not one-sided — which is why Fortune 500 legal teams consistently approve it.

03
SOC 2 Type II certification goes beyond the NDA

An NDA is a legal instrument — but it depends on our operational security to mean anything. We are SOC 2 Type II certified, meaning an independent auditor has verified that our security controls, access management, and data handling procedures meet the standard. Your data is secure at the technical level, not just the contractual level.
