Information Sharing Agreements Clause Samples

Information Sharing Agreements. This guidance will highlight the various options available, together with the applicability and the arrangements that must be in place for each. The technology featured in each of the options provides adequate security in the transmission of RESTRICTED information. However, clearly defined procedures to use any of the options is essential because the MPS must have assurances regarding the recipient’s use of the information. Therefore, the use of any of the options should be part of an agreement developed, or if already in existence, reviewed using the corporate information sharing framework (SOP published in Notice 46/05). The “Process” section of the Purpose Specific Agreement allows for specific instructions to be clearly set out. This ensures that there is an accountable process that is easily understood by all those whose duty it is to carry out the sharing. The Baseline Security Assessment stage (Stage 4) of the framework is concerned with all the aspects of security involving the sharing of any information but specifically suggests standards for the transmission of information electronically. This guidance gives the instructions on the detail that will mean that those standards can be met. If any clarification or assistance is required with establishing any of the options set out here, contact the Information Sharing Support Unit for advice. .
