Companies must ensure that their Data Room provides all the functions, according to the most stringent standards, that meet their business needs and ensure that they can confidently store and share sensitive information with their partners outside.
A good data room should allow for easy collaboration between all parties, and provide a complete reporting and logging functionality to give insights into who has accessed the data and how. In addition, it must be secure. The most secure data rooms will have encryption at rest and transit, two-factor identification and audit trails of the users’ activity and safeguards against unauthorized access and malware from malicious parties.

This is especially important in large-scale transactions where the platform is used to manage large amounts of documents and participants.
