Freight forwarders, shippers, carriers, and subcontractors routinely sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to govern how sensitive supply chain information must be handled and protected. Covered data typically includes shipping records, cost structures, customer lists, and internal KPIs. The NDA specifies who may access which information, defines the duration of the confidentiality obligation, and sets out penalties for breaches. These agreements are particularly common when strategic pricing details or proprietary operational processes must be shared during the tendering or onboarding phase of a business relationship. Not to be confused with a service level agreement (SLA), which establishes performance benchmarks rather than rules for information handling.
