A virtual dataroom provides a secure, safe environment to share files and documents during M&A with multiple stakeholders. It lets users review and comment on documents, exchange information with other members, keep track of activity, and much more. Its benefits include an easy-to-use interface with robust security and collaboration features and a low price compared to traditional storage solutions.

In the case of a VDR, access is governed by permissions at the document or folder level. It is possible to restrict access to download only PDF versions or original documents with watermarks. It is also possible to set a date for expiration for documents, and monitor who has downloaded what, and when. Admins can also “virtually shred” a document or disable downloading rights if they are required.

A reliable virtual data room will also offer a user-friendly and customizable platform that can be tailored to your specific business processes, IT systems, and workflows. It should also support drag-and-drop uploading and permit the creation of custom folder structures and an extensive search facility. It should also provide an audit trail and an easy-to-use tag system for files to ensure that all activities are documented.

The best open source virtual data rooms will come with an extensible interface to integrate with other applications and tools. It will also provide various options for customization, including the ability to personalize your user interface. A powerful security model will safeguard against insider threats. It will also perform regular vulnerability scans, infrastructure penetration tests, and provide protection against denial-of-service attacks.
