The exchange of sensitive data has always been a central component of M&A transactions. Buyers, sellers, advisors and investors exchange countless documents during a deal - financial figures, due diligence reports, contracts and confidential company information.
Since digitization, the majority of this data exchange has taken place online. This speeds up transactions, but harbors considerable risks. After all, 75 percent of German companies have already been the victim of a cyberattack.
This makes it all the more important in the M&A environment to ensure the secure exchange of data between all parties involved. Many solutions rely on rigid IT rules or complicated isolated solutions that are difficult to implement in practice.
But there is another way: we show you how you can integrate secure data exchange into your M&A workflows with a user-friendly collaboration platform.
What is meant by data exchange?
Data exchange means the transfer of information in electronic form, for example as .doc or .pdf. In the M&A context, this relates to the sending of confidentiality agreements, financial models or draft contracts.
The exchange is secure if modern encryption protocols and GDPR-compliant servers are used. This is exactly where DEALPOINT comes in.
Simple & intuitive: secure data exchange in the M&A process via one platform
M&A deals require a constant flow of information between several parties. In contrast to the industrial environment, the strictest confidentiality agreements, attorney-client privilege and compliance requirements are added complications.
Many market participants still use email attachments or cloud services such as Dropbox. This is not only inefficient, but also risky - both in terms of GDPR compliance and confidentiality.
DEALPOINT provides you with a central collaboration suite that covers all workflows in the transaction process. This allows sensitive data to be exchanged securely and processes to be designed much more efficiently at the same time.
