Why not just add a banner to the page where you have to accept the NDA,

Or even just YA site registration.

1) Here's one argument against this method: doing this forces your prospects to get added to somebody else's prospect database, which in turn means they're now on a list they otherwise didn't want to be on.

For example, in order to access a white paper for a project I'm working on, I had to register... and sure enough, within 15 minutes, a sales rep called me.

And suppose this list gets sold or otherwise re-used.

I'm not complaining (in this case), just pointing out the complication this creates.

2) Even if this wasn't a concern, your prospects have now agreed to be responsible for some third party's confidential information. Suppose their
system gets compromised?

My opinion is you need to find a way to share information that doesn't
compromise confidentiality nor get your prospects onto somebody else's
sales list. E.g., redacting the document which you then post. If this
isn't too complicated.
