Secure Virtual Data Rooms
With CapLinked, Sharing File Online is Secure and Easy
Just a few years ago, a data room was a physical room where confidential information or sensitive papers could be stored. Bankers, investors, brokers and lawyers would use these rooms at scheduled times to examine documents that were required for business transactions. Fast-forward to today and these physical data rooms have become exceedingly rare, replaced by virtual data rooms.

What is A Virtual Data Room?
A virtual data room (VDR) provides secure storage for digital documents and limits access to only those who are authorized to view them. This type of online data room is used extensively for business transactions, including the due diligence process, M&As, IPOs, private equity agreements, banking, and investing. Stakeholders can securely access documents at specific times, from any platform, and from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Businesses, governments and other organizations have found a wide variety of uses for VDRs for document sharing and collaboration.
In short, a VDR is used whenever someone needs to securely store information and make it available to a limited group of people. Unlike a physical data room, VDRs allow instant access to documents by anyone who needs it, regardless of where those people are in the world. And when they no longer require access, their permissions can be turned off and access revoked — including to any documents that have been downloaded, thanks to digital rights management (DRM).

Why Do You Need A Virtual Data Room?
Today’s VDR is quickly replacing a wide range of outdated business technologies. This is primarily due to the exceptional security it provides, ease of use and a price point that reduces costs. Most likely, your organization is already using cloud storage for important documents — but that’s without the advanced security measures a VDR provides, and most likely at a similar, or even higher price.
Common Use Cases of Virtual Data Rooms
Using a VDR is a sound decision whenever security and data access are concerns. There is no limit to the number or type of files that can be securely stored in a VDR, including PDFs, data logs and even videos. Every organization has its own reasons for adopting a VDR solution, but these are some of the most common uses:
- Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) – VDRs are crucial for conducting the due diligence process in M&A transactions, allowing buyers and sellers to securely share and review financial records, legal documents, and more.
- Financing – When you’re raising capital, you’ll need a sound platform that enables you to swiftly share sensitive files and confidential documents with potential investors and private equity interests. By streamlining file-sharing, the CapLinked VDR accelerates diligence and helps businesses provide clear paper trails.
- Restructuring – Whether you’re managing a merger or moving through the bankruptcy process, virtual data room services can help you save crucial time and money. Steer clear of the usual hiccups that accompany insolvency, receivership, and restructuring with fast uploads, secure file storage, and messaging and updates features.
- Legal compliance – With our secure platform and virtual data room services, safely upload and share sensitive documents like patents and IP with legal teams, brokers, and more. Leverage permissions tools to grant access to your workspace and monitor who views, downloads, and uploads files. Stay fully in control—and fully compliant.

A virtual data provides higher security measures than simple document sharing platforms.
