I have been privy to many documents under Non-Disclosure Agreement over the years. As far as I can remember, only once did I read and sign the entire legal document governing the NDA. All the other times a manager or some other colleague of mine told me that the document was under NDA. I do not know if a "standard" NDA contains language prohibiting discussing even the fact that one has seen the NDA, let alone the document(s) revealed. But to discuss the fact that one has seen a document, or even the NDA itself, to me seems like a question that must be asked of one's manager if one has a burning desire to reveal that fact. Someone in the organization has read, understands, and remembers all the legal fine print, and it likely not to be one's immediate manager. The manager will almost certainly say that one should not even mention having seen the document. It is preferable to err on the side of caution in such matters. Without having access to the NDA and then being given access to a document under the NDA, I would have to assume that I should not discuss anything regarding the NDA itself or the document(s) with anyone other than colleagues, and then only if they have been made aware of the NDA nature of the document.
