Although this discussion has been limited to the use of IPAs and NDAs in employment relationships, these documents are equally important when sharing proprietary information with others outside the organization. This can include business partners or others with whom the company shares the information in the course of doing business, such as candidates for jobs during the interview process.Preventing Data LossData loss can occur as the result of an intentional act (such as hacking, data theft, or sabotage); through the failure of equipment (storage media or hardware), software errors, or inadequate operating procedures; or by accident. Preventing the loss of critical data is the responsibility of the IT function, which ensures the safety of the hardware and software systems used in an organization. The use of enterprise-wide databases that store massive amounts of data from all functions can make data protection a complex process. Many organizations use data-sharing technology to streamline operations internally and, in some cases, to share data externally. This efficiency carries with it greater risk for the unauthorized release of data and has led to the creation of security measures, such as firewalls, that ensure the integrity of the data. A firewall is a hardware device or a software program that restricts access to an organization’s computer network based on criteria established by the IT function.
