This research examines the legal standing of the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) in protecting the trade secrets of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Employing normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches, this research analyzes Law Number 30 of 2000 on Trade Secrets together with the Indonesian Civil Code. The results show that although the NDA has no explicit statutory basis as a named contract, its enforceability derives from Articles 1320 and 1338 of the Civil Code as an unnamed agreement (onbenoemde overeenkomst). Law Number 30 of 2000 supplies the substantive elements of confidentiality, economic value, and reasonable protective measures that shape NDA clauses. The NDA functions as a preventive legal instrument and as evidentiary support in disputes, provided it is drafted proportionally and accompanied by concrete confidentiality practices suited to MSME capacity.
