It can be neutral, it can be unprofessional, it can be unethical, it can be illegal, or it can be exactly what you are supposed to do, depending on the nature of the information and your role at the company.
The profession in question will have guidelines and/or codes of ethics helping people to decide what kinds of information should be available to the public, and what kinds of information should be under various levels of control. Presumably a company wants information about its products, their uses benefits and costs, to be known by as many people in the company's market as possible. It is the job of some employees to market the company's products and to oversee sales.
Proprietary information, information that is expressly owned by the company and that is involved with processes, coding or formulas that make their products unique, are not just information but property. Revealing these may constitute a breach of ethics or even criminal activity.
Except for cases where you become aware of criminal activity at the company, if you disclose information for the express purpose of committing fraud, actively harming your company's business or reputation, or to advance the interests of some other company, then you are probably in a lot of trouble.
The safest thing you can do is to follow your job description and assigned tasks, and the written policies and procedures the company has in place dealing with disclosure of information, talking with the press or other media, or representatives from other companies. Don't share one bit of information with anyone (unless reporting a crime) that you would be one bit embarrassed to share right in front of the company's CEO, Human Resources officer, legal department, your pastor/clergy person, or your mother. If that thought makes you queasy, then keep it to yourself. You may find yourself in the paper the next day, named as the source of some embarrassing dirt, and there will be quite a lot of dirt on your face, pictured on page one.

Does an independent auditor working for a client have a duty not to disclose any information to anyone other than the company itself even if it is just someone wanting to know what they are working on?
Your query is kind of vague and this is a complicated and very broad area of law.Generally, when an auditor is privately employed by a company they should not discuss anything related to that audit with any outside party. Auditors work under strict standards of ethic and rules that govern every aspect of their work. They should not disclose to a third party that they are performing an independent audit for the ABC Company. The client has the right to expect confidentiality on that level and that confidentiality would likely be set forth in the letter of engagement and/or contract.
