What is an employee
confidentiality policy?

Our free policy template is designed for UK businesses to easily secure important data and stay within legal guidelines. It gives clear instructions for your team and any third parties to follow, helping you keep your company’s confidential information safe. Putting this policy in place is a smart way to protect your business.
