Due diligence and M&A

A sale, a capital injection, an audit or a dispute puts the company’s most confidential documents in front of outside eyes for weeks. Kamzan’s kVDR data room shows them without handing them over: each viewer sees only their part, view-only, with their name watermarked and every opening logged.

Kamzan for due diligence and M&A

The Italian data room, with data that stays in Europe

A due diligence is not an archive: it is a time-limited window, open to people who may be competitors tomorrow. kVDR is built for this. The advisor opens a data room for the deal, structures it with a numbered index that maintains itself and decides, group by group, who sees which folder and with which protection.

Counterparties enter after signing the NDA with kSign, view-only, with their own name watermarked on every page; download and print are blocked where needed. Every question goes through the Q&A and every opening ends up in an audit trail that becomes a certified snapshot at closing. Servers in Europe, domain with the firm’s name.

What a due diligence needs

The needs of the seller, the buyer and the advisors in between.

  • Show without handing over

    Accounts, contracts and litigation must be readable by the counterparty but not downloadable, printable or forwardable. If a document leaks, it must say who leaked it.

  • Each party sees only its part

    Several bidders in parallel, their lawyers, the auditors, the bank: each with a different perimeter, and none aware of who else is inside.

  • Tight deadlines, many questions

    Requests for clarification come in by the dozen and must be assigned, answered and archived next to the document, not in an email chain.

  • Proof of what was there

    At closing, or if a dispute arises, you need to prove what was in the data room at that moment and who saw what, when.

From opening the data room to closing

Example: how an advisor runs a sale with several bidders.

  1. 1 Seller / advisor → Buyer

    The advisor opens the data room, loads the index from a due diligence template and the documents: numbering (1, 1.1, 1.2…) updates on its own.

  2. 2 Buyer → Seller / advisor

    Each bidder signs the NDA with kSign and receives access for their group: view-only, watermark with their name, no download.

  3. 3 Buyer → Seller / advisor

    Questions go through the data room Q&A, assigned to whoever must answer; every opening, search and reply ends up in the audit trail.

  4. 4 Seller / advisor → Buyer

    At closing the data room is frozen — snapshot with date, time and hash fingerprint — and exported; the deal archive moves to Files for retention.

    Files

What you show

The documents a due diligence puts in the data room

Organised by section according to the deal index, with the status of every document: draft, under review, final.

  • Articles of association, company registry extracts and corporate books
  • Financial statements, interim figures and budgets
  • Contracts with customers, suppliers and partners
  • Employment contracts, org chart and executive agreements
  • Pending litigation and legal opinions
  • Trademarks, patents and software licences
  • Tax documentation and inspection reports
  • NDAs, letters of intent and closing documents

The seller stays in control, the buyer gets to work

The advisor governs the perimeter; the counterparty finds what it needs at once.

For the seller and the advisor

  • One data room per deal, opened from an index template in minutes.
  • Group permissions: each bidder sees its part and does not know who else is bidding.
  • View-only with named watermark; print and download blocked where needed.
  • Audit trail of every opening, search and download, exportable for the deal file.
  • Certified snapshot at closing: what was there, with date, time and hash fingerprint.

For the buyer and its advisors

  • Enters after signing the NDA, from the browser, with nothing to install.
  • Follows the numbered index and finds a document even by asking in its own words.
  • Asks questions in the Q&A, next to the document, and sees when the answer arrives.
  • Receives new uploads in real time, without chasing emails.

Beyond sharing

The features that make kVDR a data room, not a shared folder

Each feature answers a question that always comes up in a due diligence.

  • Numbered index

    Automatic hierarchical numbering, updated on every move, exportable to PDF or Excel.

  • View-only and watermark

    The viewer’s name and email on every page; download, print and screenshots blocked per group.

  • NDA with tracked versions

    The confidentiality agreement signed with kSign before access, with the version each person accepted.

  • Q&A

    Assigned questions, answers next to the document, history available to every authorised party.

  • Audit trail

    Who opened what, when and for how long: the complete deal log, exportable.

  • Snapshot at closing

    The data room frozen with date, time and hash fingerprint: an immutable reference for audits and disputes.
