A data room is a safe digital storage space that can house sensitive documents, confidential information and documents. These are typically used to conduct due diligence in business transactions, IPOs, and court instances. Data rooms are also utilized by businesses that have to collaborate on projects shared by several parties.

In the past physical data rooms were the most common method to conduct due diligence during a business transaction. These were expensive, and required a great deal of planning to manage meetings in person. Due diligence is easier and faster with the use of a virtual dataroom. A virtual dataroom is a cloud-based tool for sharing files which allows users to access documents from anywhere on the world, without having to have an in-person meeting. Virtual datarooms have advanced features, such as document tracking and version control. It also allows for easy collaboration.
