Launched in 2002 DataSite® is a virtual data room (VDR) solution, by Merrill Corporation. It optimizes the due diligence process and replaces the paper data room. Accessible from a Web browser, Merrill DataSite dramatically reduces transaction times and deal expense through the presentation of documents that have been electronically captured and indexed online. The service provides complete control of security settings which are assigned to a particular user by the client, based on the user’s role in the transaction, streamlining the due diligence process by providing secure simultaneous access, full-text search capabilities and robust reporting tools.

In 2008, Merrill DataSite became the world’s first ISO 27001 (originally BS 7799) accredited VDR provider and complies fully with the requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Data is 256-bit SSL encrypted with EV from VeriSign®; optional two-factor RSA SecurID™ tokens are available.

By 2010, DataSite reached over 14,000 transactions comprising 275 million pages, with nearly 1 million DataSite users, and 1 million pages read daily.
