Geheimhaltung
geheimhaltungsbedürftige Informationen
Diese Geheimhaltungsvereinbarung betrifft geheimhaltungsbedürftige Informationen
Is this exactly the same as vertrauliche Information - confidential information
Or do I have to say information requiring confidentiality ? There could be a slight difference- or do you think that is splitting hairs?

No, it's exactly the same. Judging from gazillions of confidentiality agreements and contracts that I have translated, the expressions I suggest are the ones that are common in English legal language and they express exactly what you're looking for.

(information) that needs to be kept secret
You may have to re-write the sentence a little to make this work.
But that's what it means.

classified information
I think someone has to put it on the list. I agree with the discussion entries above. Of course, it depends on context.
Discussion
"protectively marked (information)" or
"(information) subject to security classification" or
"(information) subject to security protection".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information_in_the_U...
http://protectivemarking.co.uk/images/downloads/gpms.pdf
Confidential (with an initial upper case letter) and Secret are protective markings and not an appropriate rendering here.
"Geheimhaltungsbedürftig" seems to be the term within public authorities, defence industry or the military sector. There is a very comprehensive overview of the different levels of "secret".

Hope this helps.
