Later the solution was named a Top Tech Innovation by Inc. magazine. Wall Street magazine also rated CapLinked virtual data room as the best solution for closing deals, noting the platform’s quality. The company was founded in Los Angeles. However, CapLinked VDR software is currently headquartered in Manhattan Beach, California, with offices in Dubai, UAE, Mumbai, India, and Sandton, South Africa.

A CapLinked virtual data room offers state-of-the-art data storage and management solutions. For example, customers can control content security and data access internally or externally. 

As for the collaborative options, the provider allows simultaneous viewing, editing, and document updating. Additionally, users can IM in private or group chats, and the program automatically notifies all relevant persons about each action. 

Another helpful service is activity tracking. With this option, administrators can monitor users’ online actions and generate reports, which allows them to stay updated on daily tasks or during deals.

A CapLinked data room offers a two-week free trial. It includes 500MB DRM and watermarked storage, two admins, and one virtual workspace. If you decide to purchase a subscription, the data remains intact. Potential subscribers can also request a demo to better understand the software.

Medium and large-sized enterprises from various industries are the heaviest users of this software solution. Clients use CapLinked primarily for the secure exchange of confidential information, audits, financing, M&A, project management, sale and purchase of assets, and legal compliance. 

These operations are similar in terms of participants’ needs for ease of use and confidence in protecting sensitive data. Consequently, a CapLinked data room offers all these facilities and, therefore, is considered a good value for the money.

Deployment

CapLinked is a web-based and easy-to-install solution. The provider recommends using Google Chrome for optimal performance, as the browser provides advanced uploading options. 

However, Internet Explorer 10, Firefox, and Safari are also suitable. Moreover, for Android users, The CapLinked mobile app is available.

Support

The provider’s technical support depends on the type of service package. For example, users with a Team subscription, which is suitable for storing and exchanging data, can ask for expert help only via email. While on the other hand, an Enterprise plan for critical deals provides a professional support team and a personal account manager. Furthermore, Enterprise customers can contact the helpdesk via email and phone 24/7 — receiving priority over Team subscription users.

• Secure connection. Outgoing, incoming, and at rest information is connected via HTTPS.
• Premium TLS protocol. When transferring documents, the program uses the SSL/TLS encryption mechanism with TLS v1.2.
• 256-bit encryption. Sensitive data at rest is protected by high industry-standard encryption on all devices.
• Layered firewalls for security. The provider has implemented segmented firewalls for each data transfer point to protect the client from threats.
• Virus protection. The implemented mechanism continually works to scan and neutralize malicious viruses, trojans, and other threats.
• Digital Rights Management (DRM). The unique CapLinked option allows for revoking access to a downloaded file.
• SOC2 Type II certification. Amazon Web Services hosts and manages information held in data room storage. Moreover, the provider is a member of the Cloud Security Alliance.
