How to Choose a Digital Data Room

18 Oct How to Choose a Digital Data Room

A digital data room, also referred to as virtual room or VDR is vital for high-risk transactions such as M&A. It can speed up the due diligence process and negotiation, while protecting sensitive information from unauthorised access. A good VDR solution will be easy-to-use to facilitate collaboration and allow effective due diligence. At the same time it must be secure. A breach of a document can cause problems and put thousands or even millions of personal information at risk.

Security is enhanced by the use of a VDR with granular permissions for users. This will prevent cutting, downloading, editing or printing. Secure encryption both in transit and in the rest of the file ensures that even if hackers manage to intercept or steal files, they will be useless. Watermarks that can be customized hinder users from sharing or stealing files that are not theirs. Two-factor authentication is another security feature to look out for. It will help prevent password theft. Remote shredding lets administrators to take down any files already downloaded from the virtual data room.

Like any other technology choosing a digital dataroom requires investigation and evaluation. Beware of VDR providers who invest more in drinks, gifts, and other perks than they do on their product. It is also essential to determine what features you’ll require from your VDR and eliminate options that do not meet those requirements. Finally, you should also be aware of whether the service provides flat-rate pricing for larger projects – this will help you avoid any unexpected cost overages and make budgeting simpler.
