As more businesses turn to virtual data rooms to conduct M&A fundraising, M&A, and other financial transactions for business, they need more protection features to guard their data from tampering, theft and leaks. One of the most useful tools is the data room watermarking. This feature traces copies that are not authorized back to their source using invisible markers, making it difficult to remove or modify without altering the original files.
There are many different methods used for watermarking data in the digital realm that include encryption of the watermark prior to embedding it into the image. Another method is “nesting” the watermark, making the embedded information more difficult to extract. This technique is employed by Closd to safeguard the information of our users and ensure that no one else can access sensitive files.
In addition, to protect the information of our users, we utilize document watermarking to improve security for Q&A attachments which are particularly vulnerable in certain circumstances. This feature will automatically number all the questions in the section with questions and answers of the document. It makes it easier to refer to them later on during an audit.
Other document-related features are also available to reduce the risk of unauthorised entry, like redaction. This feature lets you quickly remove (black out) text, images and certain areas within documents to prevent the release of sensitive business data and personal information. This feature is particularly beneficial for sensitive documents such as the Q&A section of a document and can be applied to any document type.
