A virtual data room (VDR) is an online repository of documents and other files used to share confidential information during complex business transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions due diligence processes including financial audits, fundraising rounds and legal procedures. VDRs provide more security and control over traditional physical storage while reducing costs.
When selecting a VDR make sure you choose one that has a comprehensive and robust set of features. This will satisfy the needs of your business. For example, you may think about whether the platform is compliant with ISO 27081 standards for data protection or offers strong malware and virus scanning, uptime that exceeds 99.9 percent and multifactor authentication to guarantee that the data uploaded is secure. You should look for features that allow you to customize the platform like color-coding to assist in identifying documents during internal meetings, or at-a glance reports that provide C-suite executives with the high-level overview they require.
A VDR is typically used during M&A transactions, when potential buyers review extensive documents regarding the companies that are being sold. M&A virtual datarooms facilitate an efficient due diligence process, and lower risk as they limit access to confidential information to those who require to access it. During an M&A deal, users can also benefit from the VDR’s FAQ section and comments. This increases productivity and speeds decision-making. M&A VDRs also offer complete audit trails, which are vital for M&A diligence.
