A secure dataroom (also called a virtual dataroom) is a software that lets you to share sensitive information with other parties. It allows companies to share documents in an organized, controlled and secure way with multiple parties. This includes document tracking, version control, and other advanced features. Traditionally, companies have relied on spreadsheets and emailing to share their due diligence data but they are not secure and could lead to a multitude of liabilities if wrong people gain access.
Secure data rooms can highlight the security of their server systems are affirming that they have encryption while on the hosting servers, which is fantastic however, it does nothing to stop unauthorised users from gaining access to the system and even if didn’t, the server hosts thousands of temporary files containing your document content that can be downloaded by hackers who use screen grabber software. The majority of browsers come with tools that allow them to take high-quality pictures from documents. Secure data rooms can’t stop this.
Some’secure data rooms,’ claim that their system blocks sharing by requiring users to sign-in using 2FA. However this is just an additional layer of security which does not address the problem that authorised users are still allowed to copy and paste links to others or forward their own emails containing hyperlinks. Secure file sharing using DRM are a better choice for business. They lock the files to a specific device and locations, meaning they aren’t transferred or shared.
