When a company is preparing to sell or raise capital, it is essential that all relevant information is scrutinized in a controlled environment. This typically involves sifting through thousands or tens of thousands sensitive documents. The appropriate Data Room provider can help companies protect these crucial files and ensure that they’re only accessed by the right people.

Due diligence is the most frequent use of data rooms in an agreement between parties. This process involves a wide review of documents and back and forth questions and responses – all of which should be handled in a safe digital environment.

Modern data room providers allow companies to track user activities. They do this by allowing them to tailor access permissions based on role and document, and folder. From who’s logged on and off to how much time they’ve spent reading documents, knowing what’s read can be a huge help in ensuring that deals don’t fall through due to undiscovered or poorly managed confidential information.

Data rooms are also a great option for businesses to securely share documents that are part of their business with partners or clients. Although there are plenty of free tools for everyday file sharing, they aren’t generally set up with the same level of watermarking, auditing capabilities and specific permission settings that are required when dealing with sensitive information. They don’t also have the professional first impression a dedicated data room provides.
