Editorial Policy & Corrections Process
VDR Directory publishes technical guides, comparison matrices, and buyer resources for Virtual Data Rooms and secure document sharing software. We adhere to structured research methodologies and document our verification standards transparently.
1. How Products Are Selected
Platforms included in VDR Directory are selected based on market relevance across core deal workflows: M&A advisory, venture capital fundraising, private equity due diligence, commercial real estate transactions, and confidential legal discovery. We focus on tools offering active document protection, encryption, and auditability.
2. How Ranking Criteria Are Applied
Providers are evaluated across standardized criteria: security infrastructure (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3), granular access permissions (role-based access, DRM, dynamic watermarking), workflow capabilities (Q&A tracking, redaction, search indexation), and pricing transparency. Vendor placements are determined by workflow suitability rather than commercial consideration.
3. How Pricing & Feature Claims Are Verified
All pricing tiers, overage policies, and technical feature claims are cross-referenced with primary sources, including official vendor documentation, published terms of service, and public security disclosures. Where pricing is not publicly disclosed (common among enterprise providers), it is explicitly marked as such.
4. Commercial Relationships & Conflict Disclosure
SendNow has a commercial relationship with this publication. Where SendNow is evaluated, compared, or listed alongside other providers, a clear editorial disclosure is provided near the beginning of the article. Inclusion of SendNow does not guarantee a particular ranking, and all providers are assessed using the same published evaluation criteria.
5. How Often Commercial Pages Are Reviewed
Buyer guides, comparison tables, and pricing overviews are reviewed on a quarterly cadence. Time-sensitive updates (such as vendor acquisitions, pricing restructuring, or security advisories) are reviewed and updated upon verification.
6. How to Submit a Correction
If you represent a software vendor or are a reader who identifies an inaccurate claim, outdated price, or broken link, please contact our editorial desk with:
- The exact URL of the affected page on VDR Directory.
- The specific claim, specification, or data point to be updated.
- A link to verifiable primary-source proof (e.g., official vendor website, changelog, or security documentation).
