Ethics and Legalities for Intelligence Programs

Information sharing is a routine and necessary part of doing business. In most cases, it is lawful, appropriate, and conducted in good faith. However, as organizations operate across increasingly global and complex environments, understanding the ethical and legal boundaries surrounding the collection, use, and dissemination of information has become more challenging.

This online course is designed to help organizations educate employees and suppliers on ethical information practices and legal responsibilities. It provides a clear framework for understanding best practices in intelligence gathering while reinforcing the importance of ethical decision-making and compliance.

Incorporating this training into onboarding, ethics programs, and annual refreshers helps reduce risk, protect organizational reputation, and promote professionalism on a global scale. The return on investment is significant, as consistent ethical behavior strengthens trust with customers, partners, and regulators.

Participants will gain awareness of key requirements related to ethical and legal information handling, with an emphasis on applicable U.S. laws and evolving global considerations. This course is intended to build awareness and support internal compliance efforts, not to replace legal counsel. Organizations are encouraged to supplement the training with guidance specific to their policies and procedures.

This course prepares organizations to compete responsibly and confidently in the global marketplace.
