In the M&A sector – as in many other industries – different concepts for the data room are buzzing around. However, as is the case with only a few, the term is a protected concept for a „protected area in which the company to be sold provides a collection of documents for the purpose of due diligence (DD)“. As the encyclopaedia Wikipedia puts it so beautifully.

Secure VDR

Meanwhile, other terms are also buzzing through cyberspace and German M&A offices. The most famous creation is Virtual Data Room, abbreviated VDR. The abbreviation is used rather rarely, also in the country of origin USA. Some vendors in Germany prefer the „VDR service“. Others also want to emphasize the issue of security. This is where the „Secure VDR“ comes from.
