A data room service is an secure, virtual space for sharing information during due diligence, M&A, financing, bankruptcy and other business processes and transactions. In these scenarios, the data shared could be sensitive or secretive. It is therefore essential to secure this data. With a data room, you will save time, money and time when compared with emailing or printing documents. The selection of the best data room requires a bit of initial investigation to determine what features will be the most advantageous for you and your situation.

There are a variety of data room service providers each with a different set of features. Some focus on security, others on user experience and communication, and others provide the combination of both. Some of the most well-known options are Firmex, VDRSimple, iDeals, Intralinks, and Merrill Datasite.

Most data rooms offer access rights that are granular to ensure confidentiality and ensure that users are only reviewing relevant materials. Some also offer multiple factor authentication and time and IP access restrictions to prevent the unauthorised downloading or use. Some even offer internal group messaging, which decreases the need to use external communication tools like email and may help reduce the amount of redundant communication.

Some providers offer additional services to speed up due diligence, such as document transcription and scanning. These services are usually an extra cost, but it could be worth the cost for smaller companies and complicated transactions.
