The Role of Virtual Data Rooms

A virtual dataroom allows users to access their documents from anywhere they have internet access. They eliminate the requirement for dealmakers to travel and spend hours examining piles of documents in a physical environment. Instead, they can access the documents remotely, which lowers due diligence costs and speeds up the process.

Due diligence in M&A transactions is among the most frequent uses for VDRs. VDRs are ideal for sharing documents between the buy-side as well as the sell-side of these transactions.

Investment bankers are another common user group for VDRs. They assist their clients with IPOs capital raising, IPOs and M&A deals that often involve large amounts of sharing documents. They also need to be vigilant about protecting confidential information, while allowing clients access to documents.

Life science companies are another large user group for virtual data rooms. They usually work together with accountants, consultants and lawyers to create and store their sensitive documents. These parties need to access the data without compromising privacy or creating the possibility of a compliance issue.

Modern VDRs have granular permissions which allows the administrator to decide who can access which folders and files within the data room. They can also restrict access according to the number of times that a document has been seen. They can also limit access based on the date or IP address to stop hackers from gaining illegal access. Other security features include customizable watersmarks and encryption while during transit and in rest and remote shredding.
