Virtual Data Room Providers (VDR) are software programs that function as a platform to secure store and share documents. They typically include additional features that help streamline due diligence processes and collaboration in M&A transactions. Document annotations, Q&A sections, and third-party integrations are some of the features that can be used to streamline work flow. VDRs offer detailed audit logs and a detailed record of user activity. This improves transparency and security in a transaction.
VDRs can be more expensive than regular cloud storage however, the service and security they provide makes up for this. Modern providers offer live chat on their data room due diligence app along with multilingual email and phone support, dedicated teams, managers, and assist centers with videos of products. They may also provide advanced tools like secure firewalls, as well as two factor authentication, in addition to basic features like drag-and-drop.
Life science companies, such as biotech and pharma require a secure protection of their intellectual property. They tend to collaborate with partners or raise money so a robust collaboration tool is needed. VDRs that have dynamic watermarking and customized NDAs as well as permission-based roles allow for specific control over access to files.
