Reasonable and Appropriate Safeguards Clause Samples

The "Reasonable and Appropriate Safeguards" clause requires parties to implement measures that protect sensitive information or assets from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. In practice, this means adopting security protocols, physical protections, and administrative controls that are suitable for the type and sensitivity of the data involved, such as encrypting digital records or restricting access to confidential files. The core function of this clause is to ensure that both parties take adequate steps to prevent data breaches or misuse, thereby reducing the risk of harm and demonstrating due diligence in handling protected information.
