In the third of our posts about a robust security policy from a Virtual Data Room provider’s perspective, let’s take a look at how you actually implement the policy. As in other posts in these series, we are sharing with you some of the learning/policies, that we have implemented in EthosData to manage our Dataroom business. The hardest part of the process is often rolling
Recently we wrote about the importance of implementing basic security policies from a virtual data room perspective. We highlighted how to assess the risk and take a systematic approach to the things a robust data security plan needs to cover. All your efforts are worthless, however, if you don’t follow through by tracking compliance with the policy, keeping it updated as new risks present themselves and educating
When technology experts create a platform such as that used by a virtual data room, it’s tempting to try and put all the functionality in the same place.“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” The words are attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. There’s no proof he actually said it. What is proven, however, is that it was used as a slogan by Apple Computers in 1977 with the introduction
Un dataroom virtual (Virtual Data Room o VDR por sus siglas en inglés) no es tal si no está disponible en todo momento. Las transacciones importantes como las fusiones y adquisiciones (M&A por sus siglas en inlgés) e IPOs están siempre sujetos a calendarios muy exigentes y cualquier retraso pueden tener consecuencias muy negativas en el resultado del proceso.
Law firms are increasingly deploying their own Internet-based virtual data rooms (VDRs), as part of their basic document management solution. This is a good idea in theory because it keeps confidential documentation in-house, leading to a sense of greater control. It also expands the use of the VDRs beyond the relatively small number of service providers that operate facilities. Often, the firms use white-label VDR technology supplied
Security of your critical business data is paramount no matter if you are running a high profile transaction through a Virtual Data Room or just running your normal business transaction on a daily basis. Companies, regardless of size, rely on critical business data in order to succeed and flourish.
一旦您确定了资料室的供应商,交易就进入尽职调查的前期准备阶段。这包括设置好所需的所有设施,以便进行尽职调查、准备文件、以及双方所需的协议。我们需要决定这些是卖方角度还是买方角度。 竞争性销售过程 典型的竞争性销售过程比一次性交易需要做更多的准备。这是因为竞争性的销售过程涉及到更多的买家而不是只有单一的买家。潜在的买家越多,就越需要高度的保密性和安全性。 交易的市场营销 在投资银行家和法律顾问的帮助下,卖方会准备一个信息交换的媒介和备忘录,并提前发送给买方确认。在过去,这是通过创建新的PDF文件。这个方法是有风险的,比如有可能会丢失文件或将文件传递到错误的收件人手上。采用虚拟资料室,卖方能够安全的将文件发送到多个收件者手中,并能够获悉哪些用户查看过该文件。 准备协议 在发布任何文件之前,各方需要签署协议。虚拟资料室提供各种网络设施的管理条约,这些和用户协议将设置在一起。同时,客户需要供应商签署保密协议以保护数据安全。 设置资料室 到了设置虚拟资料室的阶段,卖方和服务提供者会一起决定合适的排版和结构。需要组织信息并有逻辑的编辑成目录,以便买方方便的搜寻资料,鉴定各层级的保密级别。 交易准备 这阶段的尽职调查的过程涉及从买方获取所需的文件并重新分配。在某些情况下,我们需要扫描纸质文件,在其他情况下,我们只用搜集电子版。 计划尽职调查 计划尽职调查的过程涉及到确认发送给买方的文件以及他们的发布顺序。买方成员的用户权限由员工的不同级别来确定,以此来管理个用户的权限级别。用户权限将根据卖方不同的标准来确定。
如果您仍然在使用FTP或者其他网络数据存储系统来发送与工作相关的内容,我们建议您改为使用高效安全的解决方案—虚拟资料室。记得当初您发现FTP时,您认为他是如此一个高技术的功能吗?在网络安全成为人们关注的焦点之前的那些幸福的日子里,FTP是传递大量数据的非常好的方式。但是,FTP技术的使用已经超过40岁了,与现今的技术相比,可谓过时已久。 首先,FTP并不安全 处理公司文件安全是重中之重,老式的FTP方式并不能充分保障客户的信息安全。FTP的设计从未考虑过为数据流通加密,因此FTP很容易被黑客跟踪,成为主要攻击目标。敏感资料常常会被保存在一些通用路径中,如: 人事记录 密码 财务信息 如果贵公司的重要资料,如银行信息,落入其他人手中,修补该漏洞是非常昂贵的 – 而虚拟资料室可以完全避免这种可能性。
Los dataroom virtuales pueden ser muy útiles para los abogados que participen en transacciones de fusiones y adquisiciones (M&A). El papel de las firmas de abogados en las transacciones corporativas (M&A, IPOs, refinanciación) ha cambiado dramáticamente en los últimos años ya que ahora los abogados se implican en todos los aspectos de la transacción. Desde supervisar el proceso de auditoría hasta guiar a sus clientes
