It is widely recognized that virtual data rooms provide the level of security required to safeguard confidential information from unauthorised viewing or downloading as well as malicious external attacks and other threats. They offer a superior alternative to the file sharing system or email storage, as well as paper-based systems for sensitive information.
When choosing a provider to host your data room, search for one that allows you to customise granular access permissions on a per-document and/or basis, so that users are either restricted or have full access to specific documents. This will ensure that your personal information is only seen by those you would like it to be visible to. It is also worth looking into a provider that offers the capability to add annotations to documents. This is a great method for you to highlight data that you think should be highlighted or to highlight questions that you need to be addressed. The other benefit is that your annotations can only be accessible to you – not by the third party you are sharing with.
Consider adding a section for references and referrals in your investor data rooms to prove that you have a large network of investors and customers. It will help in building trust and confidence that you are a safe bet for them.
