netfiles Deal Room is a virtual data room for due diligence and company or real estate transactions. It can also support financing projects, IPOs, insolvencies, and restructuring. Administrators can set access rights, restrict printing and downloads, set document expiry dates, and apply personalized watermarks. Documents can be indexed automatically or from an existing index; ZIP uploads are unpacked automatically. The browser-based service requires no plugin or software installation. Its iOS and Android tablet apps open documents and can store files for offline reading when permissions allow. Administrators can access audit-proof activity reports and export data, activity logs, and the room index. WebDAV, SFTP, and the netfiles API support synchronization, with 50,000 API calls per month. The maker specifies 256-bit SSL/TLS transfer encryption and AES-256 encryption for stored data, and says its servers are in certified German data centers. A free 14-day trial ends automatically and creates no payment obligation. Plans have a three-month minimum term, one project per room, unlimited users, and prices subject to VAT.
