If you’re planning to make an M&A deal, close a strategic partnership or raise funds for your startup, it’s essential that all of your critical documents are readily available to investors who are interested in conducting due diligence. Using a virtual data room can help you do just that while also reducing the risk of sensitive information getting into the wrong hands.

When setting up your VDR There are some steps you should follow to ensure that it is as efficient as is possible.

Make sure that the information contained in the VDR relevant. The inclusion of irrelevant information could cause confusion for investors which can lead to delays and possibly putting the deal in jeopardy. Create an index of all files in the VDR and maintain it through the entire process to prevent this. This will ensure that potential investors have access to the latest information and that any discrepancies can be traced.

It is important to organize the VDR folders so that users can easily locate and understand what’s being viewed. This will help to prevent confusion during the due diligence process and can also improve user satisfaction and efficiency.

Create an additional layer of security by making two-factor authentication mandatory to access the VDR. This will not only shield against data leaks by hackers, but also deter them from taking advantage of vulnerabilities in the system and exploiting any weaknesses in the security infrastructure. Additionally, you can provide an additional layer of security by enforcing stealth mode which hides the user’s activity and allows them access to the VDR without being identified.
