Utilizing a virtual data room allows companies to share their documents securely and effectively. This is particularly important for businesses involved in financial transactions like mergers and acquisitions in which sensitive documents must be reviewed by sell-side or potential investors. These documents are often highly confidential and shouldn’t be shared via email, or any other software for sharing files without risking the risk of data leaks.
The ability to design custom watermarks, and also to restrict access to specific domains ensures that confidential information is not lost. It allows users to keep track of document activity, and track who viewed which documents and when. A virtual data room gives 24/7 support through a variety of channels (phones or emails, as well as live chats) and allows users to seek assistance from experts.
It is important to note that the security features provided by VDRs VDR go beyond the normal compliances. They enable data to be encrypted both in storage and during transport, as well as adding dynamic watermarks to any document viewed or printed. This means that even if the printed or downloaded versions of a document are leaked it is impossible for information thieves to use the documents to gain access to your company’s confidential data.
Check out the websites of providers to evaluate their security features and features. A reputable virtual room provider should also provide an opportunity to try the service for free to test the platform out before investing in it.
