Client Confidentiality

SCORE Mentors cannot sign NDA's per SCORE policy.

SCORE Mentors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed by signing a Code of Ethics. Please see the excerpt below:

Client Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements/Confidentiality Agreements

Client confidentiality is an institutional principle at SCORE. This means that a SCORE client’s confidentiality does not reside with a single volunteer or chapter, but is maintained confidential within SCORE. SCORE volunteers cannot sign any client’s confidentiality agreements or any Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA). In lieu of executing NDAs, a volunteer should describe (and show) our Code of Ethics and our relationship with federal government/SBA as proof of confidential service. Any client that still demands an NDA after understanding our confidentiality and ethics principles should be recommended to seek assistance from another organization or a paid consulting resource.

Please feel free to review the SCORE Website Policy for additional information.
