Record the parties and the scope
Capture the counterparty, the purpose, the confidential information covered, the start and end dates, and the signer. A vague NDA is hard to enforce and hard to administer.
Keep the signed copy in the approved legal folder.
Track who knows and who has access
Link the NDA to the people and systems that hold the information. Record access changes when a person leaves the project.
Do not assume an NDA covers every vendor or family member.
Review expiry and exceptions
Set a reminder before expiry and record any exception approved by counsel.
Audit the register annually.
