the expectation is that the information will only be shared with a few people.
the expectation is that the information will remain in that group.
the expectation is that the information will not be kept confidential and contingencies will be put in place.

Explanation:

For question 2:

• In a professional context, when you are told something by a superior and instructed to keep it confidential, when you are an office assistant or private secretary given confidential info for tasks, or when in a leadership position with non - general info, these are legitimate ways of coming into possession of private info within an organizational framework.
• However, talking with someone in another company about your company's info is not a proper way of coming into possession of private info (it could be a breach if not authorized).

For question 3:

• When private information is revealed to a select group, the manager's expectation is that the information will remain in that group. Sharing with a few more (beyond the select group) is not the expectation. And the expectation is for confidentiality, not for it to not be kept confidential.

Answer:

1. You have talked with someone in another company with information about your company.
2. The expectation is that the information will remain in that group.
