Definition: Confidentiality of business information refers to the protection of sensitive and proprietary data belonging to a business or organization. It involves ensuring that confidential information, such as trade secrets, financial data, client lists, and marketing strategies, remains secure and is accessible only to authorized individuals within the organization. Confidentiality safeguards aim to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of such information, which could compromise the competitive advantage, reputation, or legal standing of the business. This includes implementing appropriate security measures, access controls, non-disclosure agreements, and policies to maintain the confidentiality of business information.
