Respecting Confidentiality
Assesses the ability to protect sensitive information, respect confidentiality rules, and handle situations where discretion is essential.
A confidentiality test measures how a professional protects the information entrusted to them. Client files, HR records, strategic projects, unpublished figures: every job handles material whose disclosure could harm a person, a client or the company. Leaks rarely come from malicious intent. More often they start with a conversation in a public place, an email sent too fast, a shared screen or a pushy request that someone gives in to out of politeness.
This test looks at practical reflexes in the face of these everyday risks: requests from inside and outside the organisation, accidental access to data, incidents to manage and the use of digital tools. It helps candidates spot their blind spots and gives recruiters a precise view of the discretion of someone who will handle sensitive information.
What this test measures
- Alertness to requests that try to obtain information under a plausible pretext
- How one responds after accidentally gaining access to data that is none of one's business
- Care taken in spoken exchanges, in open-plan offices, while travelling or on calls
- Use of digital tools, storage and communication channels in line with company rules
- Conduct when a disclosure incident or a colleague's carelessness comes to light
Examples of situations in the test
- 1An urgent request for login details or access from someone claiming to be an internal department.
- 2An approach from a journalist, a competitor or a former colleague curious about an internal project.
- 3A shared folder, an intranet or a video call where sensitive documents become visible to unauthorised people.
- 4An HR project involving individual data on employees' health or pay.
About this test
This test uses situational judgement tests (SJT), true/false questions and prioritisation exercises to assess your real behaviours. Each answer is weighted: there is no obvious "wrong" answer.
How to read your result
High result
A high score shows thoughtful discretion: the person weighs how sensitive information is before sharing it, resists pushy requests and stays calm when an incident occurs.
Result to develop
A score to develop mainly signals habits still to be built, for example in informal conversations or when using personal tools. The report pinpoints the contexts where vigilance drops and suggests simple practices to strengthen it.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know data protection law to pass this confidentiality test?
No, it is not a legal exam. Some scenarios touch on familiar notions such as professional secrecy or personal data, but what is observed are your working reflexes: what you share, with whom, through which channel, and how you react to a request or an incident.
Which hiring processes benefit most from this test?
It is useful whenever a role gives access to sensitive information: client files, payroll, health records, contracts, strategy or proprietary code. A company can add it to a hiring campaign to compare candidates on the same set of scenarios, alongside interviews and the usual checks.
Does this test assess cybersecurity skills?
Not in a technical sense. It does not check system configuration or IT knowledge. It focuses on the human factor: how you handle an access request, store a file, share your screen or react to a suspicious object. These behaviours are among an organisation's first lines of protection.
What does the final report contain?
After the 20 questions, an AI-generated behavioural report summarises your strengths, the situations where your vigilance could improve and concrete recommendations. In free mode it serves as a personal review. In a campaign, the company that invited you uses it to inform its decision. The test is available in French, English and Arabic.
