The security of software for data rooms includes multiple layers of security that secure sharing, storage and collaboration on sensitive information. It is equipped with control that limits the access of users to download, edit and view files. Audit trails are also included to keep track of user activity. It also offers a range of document encryption options that protect data both at in transit and at rest. Watermarks, along with other features like them stop unauthorized sharing of files by providing a permanent identifier. It also offers two-factor authentication, which requires a second verification method for users to log-in and reduces the risk of malware.

Many industries are subject to state, federal, and international laws and regulations, for example the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), GDPR, HIPAA, FISMA, SOC 1 and 2, SOX and ISO 27001. Data breaches can lead to fines, legal penalties lawsuits, reputational damage and fines. They can also cause disruptions to operations and even loss of revenue. Data room security helps to meet these regulations and laws, since it ensures only authorized users have access to sensitive data. It also helps to prevent data leaks and other security dangers by reducing the probability that unauthorized users can gain access to sensitive data through hacking malware, phishing, and man-in-the middle attacks. It comes with end-to-end encryption that encrypts documents on the device that are being sent to them and only decrypts them on the recipient’s device, preventing unauthorized data access even if the file is intercepted during transmission. It also includes activity monitoring, which tracks user activity and records all changes made to the files and alerts administrators to suspicious activity.
