What is in a data room
- An NDA gate: visitors enter their name and accept before they continue.
- Per-document rights: open, view only (no download) or hidden.
- Q&A: public threads everyone sees, or private questions that only you answer.
- A numbered document index, the way investors and auditors expect it.
- An access report: who opened which document, how many times and for how long.
- A stamp: mark individual documents so that every downloaded copy carries the downloader’s name, email and date.
