Non-Disclosure Agreement

Prohibits one or more parties from sharing confidential information with others. It is commonly used to protect sensitive business data, trade secrets, or proprietary information from being disclosed to competitors or the public.

Non-Disclosure Agreements are one of the most commonly executed legal documents in business. Whether you’re onboarding a contractor, partnering with a vendor, or exploring a fundraising opportunity, NDAs are a legal necessity — but often treated as a manual chore.

Using traditional tools like Word or PDF templates results in repetitive edits, scattered versions, and inconsistent data management. HERO streamlines this process by turning NDAs into dynamic, collaborative, and automated workflows — saving time, reducing risk, and ensuring consistency.

Common Challenges with Traditional NDA Workflows

• Manual editing of static Word or PDF templates

• Repeated copy-pasting of names, company details, and effective dates

• Version confusion between legal, business, and external stakeholders

• Time-consuming approval cycles via email

• Disconnected storage and lack of audit trails

Dynamic NDA Templates

HERO lets you create a single, smart NDA template embedded with dynamic variables such as:

• Disclosing and receiving party names

• Effective date and jurisdiction

• Term length, purpose, and scope

• Contact information and signatories

These fields can be auto-filled from a form, CRM, or internal database — reducing manual errors and speeding up execution.

Real-Time Collaboration and Review

• Multiple teams (e.g. legal, BD, founders) can edit and comment in one place

• No emailing of redlined documents or PDFs

• Instant version control and audit trail

Seamless Integration and Execution

• Push final data to CRMs, contract lifecycle tools, or cloud storage automatically

• Trigger e-signature workflows via integrations with DocuSign, Adobe Sign, or similar platforms

• Capture metadata for reporting, compliance, or contract renewal alerts

Real Business Impact

Companies using HERO to manage NDAs report:

• Over 85% reduction in turnaround time for standard NDAs

• From an average of 2–3 hours per NDA (including drafting, review, edits, and signature) to under 20 minutes end-to-end

• Significant reduction in errors from misused templates or incorrect party data

• Streamlined processes that allow business development and legal teams to focus on higher-value tasks

For a business handling 100 NDAs per quarter, that’s a time saving of over 250 hours annually — equivalent to more than 6 full work weeks of legal or operations team time. If legal resources cost £100/hour, the estimated savings exceed £25,000 per year.

Built for Scale, Security, and Speed

HERO ensures that every NDA:

• Is consistent, compliant, and approved by legal

• Contains accurate party-specific information

• Is executed and stored with a full audit trail

• Can be deployed instantly, even at high volumes

Whether you’re processing a single deal or onboarding 50 freelancers in a week, HERO makes NDA workflows fast, reliable, and integrated into your wider operations.
