  • A.6.4 requires a formalized and communicated disciplinary process, not ad hoc manager action.
  • A.6.4 should be evidence-based, fair, consistent, and proportionate.

  • A.6.6 requires identifying, documenting, regularly reviewing, and signing confidentiality/NDA agreements.
  • A.6.6 agreements should reflect business, legal, contractual, and information security needs.
