Virtual data room software is a secure repository that permits users to view confidential information in a secure environment during due diligence and other business transactions. It offers a high degree of security that standard file-sharing platforms do not have, such as access to the user’s permissions at a high level, encryption at rest and in transit as well as two factor authentication as well as content watermarking and audit trails that show logins, uploads and downloads. These features reduce the risk of intellectual property theft and unauthorized access to sensitive corporate and financial information that could jeopardize contracts or cause lawsuits.
A virtual data room is often used to share IP documents with outside parties, such as potential licensing partners and buyers, during M&A due-diligence. The capacity of virtual data rooms makes them useful for sharing large or confidential documents with internal teams as well as others. Moreover, they facilitate collaboration with outside counsel, auditors or consultants.
A virtual data room can help streamline the due diligence process for other participants in bankruptcy or restructuring. These transactions require a thorough review of the financial performance of a firm as well as its debt, accounting reports and budgets for capital expenditures as well as legal contracts, liens, and credit reports for customers. A robust data room security system is required to protect against unauthorized access to the crucial documents and safeguard the integrity of the transaction.
