About SmartRoom

SmartRoom is a virtual data room platform from Donnelley Financial Solutions that emphasizes document security through its patented SmartLock technology, which provides persistent document protection even after files are downloaded. SmartRoom enables administrators to revoke access to downloaded documents, apply dynamic watermarks, and control printing and forwarding permissions at the individual user level, making it one of the most security-focused VDR options on the market.

What's Great
