FieldSignal does not facilitate the disclosure of material non-public information (MNPI). Every expert agreement, every per-call attestation, every monitored discussion is designed to make MNPI sharing impossible — and to leave a clean audit trail proving it.

All client engagements operate under our Master Services Agreement (MSA), which incorporates compliance attestations, IP terms, confidentiality, liability allocation and the FieldSignal Code of Conduct for experts.
Bespoke terms — including client-specific compliance clauses, additional insurance requirements, audit rights — are negotiated as addenda to the MSA where required.
We carry US$10 million in professional liability cover, plus separate cyber-incident cover, with an A-rated international carrier. Certificate of insurance available to clients on request.
Compliance practices are audited annually by an independent third party. Audit summaries are shared with clients upon request, subject to non-disclosure.
Ad hoc audits are accepted from large institutional clients as part of their vendor onboarding. Pre-onboarding compliance questionnaires are turned around within five business days.
Our standard MSA includes mutual indemnification covering breach of confidentiality, third-party IP claims and regulatory non-compliance — capped at amounts negotiated per engagement. The full indemnification language is available on request to client compliance teams.
