A virtual data room (VDR) is an online secure space that serves as an archive for documents used in business. It allows data to be exchanged between parties in a secure environment. It also helps companies conduct due diligence on M&A deals such as loan syndication, private equity and venture capital deals. VDRs also provide an alternative to physical data rooms to store documents that are required for business in the event catastrophe, or when resources are tight.

When mergers or acquisitions are made, significant amounts of information will be shared between parties. This includes sensitive corporate documents as well as intellectual properties. It is imperative to protect this information for privacy and compliance reasons. Using a VDR streamlines communication, protects information and ensures compliance. When selecting a VDR make sure you choose one that integrates seamlessly with your IT systems and workflows for business. Firmex is a fantastic option that can be tailored to reflect your brand’s style and has highly flexible interfaces. Choose a company that offers support that is available 24/7/365, and has industry expertise to know the business processes you use.

When choosing a VDR ensure that it can provide granular permissions for users based on their role and the need to know. It should also allow MFA, and monitoring of user logins to monitor IP, Device and Location to identify unauthorized access. It should also come with various reporting tools to help your team draw insights from your VDR’s records. Lastly, be sure the platform is easy to use for both you and your prospective buyer or investor.
