What to Look for in a Virtual Data Room

VDR software lets companies share confidential business information securely with third entities, such as lawyers, compliance auditors and trusted advisors. As opposed to file sharing software, VDR software is designed to safeguard business-sensitive information and ensure that no one will be able to alter, delete or intercept the content of shared files. This makes it ideal for the M&A due diligence process as well as for any other scenario in which sensitive information must be shared with service providers, potential investors or any other outside parties.

When you evaluate a virtual room be sure to look for these characteristics:

Security: VDRs are made to provide a secure environment that will resist malware attacks, hacks and other forms of malicious behavior. Find a service provider that offers ISO-compliant security, including backups and encryption. A VDR should also allow users to define different access levels for various users and modify the privileges swiftly if moods change during negotiations.

Document Management: A well-designed VDR will allow users to upload documents and organize them into meaningful categories, with search features that can identify exact or partial matches and find specific folders. A VDR should also include advanced functions, such as OCR, optical character recognition for PDFs as well as images and filters to narrow down search results.

Collaboration and Communication: Look for a VDR that includes built-in discussions, a chat feature that allows teams to collaborate, and messaging capabilities that help eliminate communication silos. A VDR must also have an API that allows it to be connected with other systems.
