insider's

Known only internally

Insider's is the possessive form of insider—someone with access to confidential information or membership in an exclusive group.

It typically modifies knowledge, perspective, or viewpoint: an insider's guide to the city, an insider's account of the scandal.

The form suggests privileged access that outsiders lack.
