Premium features such as built-in redaction, real-time translation and AI tools for document classification and organization, gap analysis, anomaly detection and document-level Q&A intelligence set us apart.
Service
We deliver the industry's best 24/7/365 multilingual support. We take care of everything – acting as an extension of your own deal team – from data room and index building, applying document permissions, setting up Q&A and redaction workflows, creating teams, inviting and training users, through due diligence support to closing. Our experienced service team is 100% in-house; unlike others, we never outsource "after-hours" or weekend coverage to third party call centers.
Security
We meet the highest security standards, including AES-256 document encryption, ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certification, and are fully compliant with EU and UK GDPR. Clients can choose EU, UK or US data hosting in logically and physically separate environments supported by SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3 reports. Our security standards are trusted by the IT security teams of top-tier advisors and large, multinational corporates.
