Data rooms can be used in various ways. Most commonly, they are used for securely working with other people on large projects, as part of due diligence checks or where sensitive communication is required, e.g. among company board members or management. Defined standards and compliance guidelines now exist across various industries to ensure the secure exchange of data. Data rooms are also used in tax consultancy and auditing (e.g. storing and providing sensitive documents), in clinics, manufacturing companies and authorities.
