Thus, bibliographic and documental research were the technical procedures used in the study, to gather information in books, scientific articles, legal norms and also on Internet sites on the approach of this topic in Federal Education Institutions, in order to identify the process and flow of procedures related to the treatment of secrecy and confidentiality of information. The freedom to socialize knowledge was one of the most discussed factors in the scope of research, since the IFES has as one of its principles the universality of knowledge, so the norm could not harm academic publications. The interaction between Ifes and public and private companies is also highlighted in the research, in the relationships of partnerships aimed at research, development and innovation activities. Therefore, the treatment of sensitive information, data and examination from research needs to be treated with caution in the academic environment. PSC accepted the confidentiality procedure in course completion work committw, the confidentiality procedure for RD&I projects, the procedure for strategic institutional partnerships and the confidentiality procedure for outsourced workers, interns, monitors, scholarship holders and volunteers participating in RD&I. Therefore, the research presented how the construction process of the Ufopa PSC took place, commenting on each phase, from the discussion to its formalization.
