COMPLIANCE
Protecting both our clients and experts is a critical part of our job.
Expert Policies
Compliance Training

Project Eligibility Assessment
For every project, Pengo Insight screens potential candidates to assess their eligibility and any potential conflicts of interest. For example, experts are prohibited from consulting about their current employer or other third parties to whom they owe confidentiality obligations.
We also restrict specific industries and classes of experts as appropriate.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
Before their first consultation, experts must agree to abide by Pengo Insights' Terms & Conditions, which prohibit the disclosure of confidential and material, non-public information. To be eligible to participate in a consultation, they must have agreed to our Terms & Conditions within the last year, and they are also required to provide current employment information.
