An online data room is a secure, web-based platform for sharing and managing confidential documentation in the course of a business transaction. The features of the platform are suitable for a wide variety of scenarios, such as M&A strategic reviews, capital raising, and tenders. The data room’s granular folder permissions as well as its robust search capabilities let users find what they are looking for quickly. They can also upload large files, saving time when creating complicated folder structures.

It is vital that both the buy-side and sell-side review documents in an environment that is secure during M&A. Virtual data rooms facilitate due diligence processes and help facilitate a smooth M&A transaction. They can also facilitate post-merger integration by providing features such as document versioning, Q&A processes and powerful search.

Life science companies such as biotech and pharmaceuticals often have to deal with a lot of confidential data. A failure to protect this information could result in the espionage of competitors, or a lawsuit. A secure VDR can allow companies in the life sciences industry to store sensitive data in a central location, making it easier for collaboration between teams and other external stakeholders. A thorough audit trail tracks each login, agreement clicked or viewed, and every video scrutinized with a high degree of detail. This ensures transparency and accountability during the due diligence process, and helps with regulatory compliance.
