A virtual data room (VDR) is a secure repository for sharing documents and information. It is utilized in M&A deals, due diligence, fundraising and other high-risk tasks that require sharing sensitive information between parties.
In the past the use of data rooms was used to achieve this. They were locked in a centrally controlled location and required a security personnel to supervise access. However, these rooms are expensive to maintain and lack a range of features which make them a poor solution for modern companies.
Digital VDRs are a central repository that can be accessed by authorized users on request. They also include several security features that are industry-standard like encryption, two-factor verification, audit logs and watermarking. You can rest assured that your data will not be compromised by malicious activities.
When choosing a VDR provider, it is important to look into their track record and experience in providing online document management services for sensitive information. You should also think about how they comply with different industry standards for compliance. For instance, HIPAA certified businesses ensure that protected health information is safe to store, while companies that are certified under GDPR and CCPA can help companies comply with European privacy laws as well as California consumer protection laws.
Google Drive, Dropbox and Email may be useful to share files, but they aren’t the most appropriate options for sensitive information requiring security and privacy. The use of a reliable, reputable data room can simplify M&A transactions as well as due diligence processes and other high-risk business projects while keeping your confidential information secure and organized.
