Certify™ NDA is the industry’s first independent certification for Non-Disclosure Agreements.

Powered by TermScout’s AI-driven contract intelligence and validated by legal experts, it analyzes each NDA against thousands of real-world deals to confirm it meets accepted market standards for fairness, clarity, and balance.

Instead of waiting days for manual legal review, counterparties receive a data-backed Certified NDA, turning a potential bottleneck into a trust accelerator.

NDAs are often the first contract in a business relationship; and frequently one of the biggest delays. Instead of waiting days for legal review, Certify™ NDA provides an independently certified agreement that’s been analyzed for fairness, clarity, and alignment with market standards.

This certification helps counterparties feel confident signing immediately, reducing negotiation cycles and eliminating the usual legal bottlenecks.

By removing friction at the start of the deal, businesses can close faster, increase win rates, and build trust from the very first document.

Speed up your deal cycles with Certify™ NDA. This AI-powered certification ensures your NDA is pre-approved and ready to sign, reducing delays and increasing close rates.

To certify your NDA, start by giving it to the TermScout team.

The Certify™ NDA engine runs an AI-powered analysis comparing your agreement against thousands of real-world NDAs.

Next, TermScout’s legal experts validate the agreement for fairness, clarity, and overall market readiness.

If it passes all benchmarks, your NDA is awarded certification, including a public Certify™ NDA badge and a downloadable report you can share with counterparties to speed up reviews.

To qualify for Certify™ NDA, an NDA must meet strict criteria designed to ensure fairness, clarity, and mutual protection. TermScout evaluates the NDA against thousands of market-standard agreements using AI analysis and legal review. Key elements that typically qualify an NDA include:

No residuals clauses allowing retained use of confidential info
Fully mutual material provisions (e.g., scope, exclusions, term)
No marking requirements for protecting confidential information
No non-solicitation provisions that restrict future business activity
No indemnification obligations that shift legal liability

These standards reflect what most counterparties are willing to sign without edits. NDAs that meet them are certified as deal-ready and awarded the Certify™ NDA badge and report.
