Problem
Organizations handling high‑stakes transactions and regulated data need to share sensitive documents with external parties while ensuring compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and residency mandates. Traditional virtual data rooms store files on third‑party clouds, creating data exfiltration risk, complex licensing, and costly per‑page or per‑user fees.
Solution
Govern 365 delivers a Microsoft 365‑native virtual data room that keeps all documents inside the customer’s own tenant, eliminating external storage and associated breach vectors. The platform provisions structured rooms in minutes using templated setups and enforces least‑privilege access through folder‑level Entra ID permissions and role‑based controls. Immutable audit logs capture every view and download, providing on‑demand, audit‑ready evidence for regulators and legal teams. Integrated Q&A workspaces keep sensitive communications out of email, while dynamic watermarks and DRM protect content even after download. Pricing is a flat annual fee based on the number of active data rooms, with unlimited users and storage, removing per‑page or overage costs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are corporate legal, M&A, private‑equity, and compliance teams that require secure external collaboration, as well as regulated industries (life sciences, finance, energy) needing tenant‑bound data residency.
