Enterprise Virtual Data Rooms for Secure Deal-Making and Due Diligence

Founded in 2010 by Eric Jackson and Christopher Grey, CapLinked builds virtual data room software for organizations that must move confidential documents outside their own perimeter. The platform is aimed at investment banks, private equity and corporate development teams, legal and compliance groups, real estate firms and regulated buyers in healthcare and government, supporting mergers and acquisitions, capital raises, asset sales, bankruptcy proceedings and investor reporting. The company is headquartered in El Segundo, California.

Work is organized into permissioned workspaces where administrators control who can view, edit, download or print each file, backed by two-factor authentication and IP whitelisting. Dynamic watermarking stamps viewer identifiers such as email address and IP onto documents, while the FileProtect digital rights management layer keeps control of files after download and allows access to be revoked remotely. Activity reporting records who opened what and when, and an EZ Q&A module routes diligence questions to assigned subject-matter experts.

The differentiator is persistent control over data after it leaves the room, combined with a data protection API that extends the same share, protect and track model to email and Office 365 rather than confining it to a web portal. OCR search, workspace insights and a concierge service for enterprise projects round out the offering. Published certifications include ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI DSS and FISMA, with CMMC and FedRAMP options for government buyers.
