SERVANDUM
Virtual data rooms · EU

Mergers · acquisitions · due diligence

The virtual data room for transactions that demand care.

Servandum is the European data room for M&A and due diligence: EU-hosted, audit-proof and uncompromising on security — with AI that assists where it helps, and a person who confirms.

Foundation

Security is not an option but the ground it stands on

01 · Security

Every layer protected

Dynamic per-user watermarks, an NDA before first access, virus scanning on upload and an immutable audit trail of every action.

02 · Sovereignty

EU-hosted, GDPR-first

All documents and data reside in European data centres under European law. No detours through third countries; processing is transparently documented.

03 · Control

Built on group separation

Buyers, advisers and financiers each see exactly what their group is allowed to see — down to Q&A and markups. Permissions per folder, insight per user.

04 · Process

From first look to closing

Versioning, structured Q&A, completeness tracking and exportable reports keep the whole transaction inside one controlled environment.

The AI layer · optional

AI that does the tedious work — people make the calls

Metadata & tags

Every document catalogued

After each upload, AI proposes document type, date, parties and tags. An admin confirms before anything becomes visible.

Semantic search

Search by meaning

Find "the lease for the warehouse" even when the file is called something else — strictly within each user's permissions.

Completeness

Due-diligence checklist

The data room checks itself against a DD checklist per deal type and flags what is still missing before the buyer asks.

Smart intake

Drop a folder, get a structure

Incoming documents are classified and assigned to the right folder — automatically during setup, as a confirmable proposal once the data room is live.

AI is an option, never a requirement. It is switched on per data room, usage is metered transparently, and nothing moves or becomes visible without a human decision.

AI & privacy
  • Off by default — an admin knowingly enables it per data room.
  • Your documents are never used to train AI models.
  • Smart intake and the completeness check work on file names and metadata only — never on document content.
  • Semantic search is processed entirely within the EU.
  • Where document content is processed, it is under a data-processing agreement — documented per feature, no fine print.
Under the hood

Security you can verify, not just believe

Encryption

Encrypted everywhere it counts

AES-256 at rest for documents and database, TLS 1.2+ in transit — backups included.

No open storage

Links that expire

Documents live in a private bucket. Downloads run through signed, single-purpose links that expire after 60 seconds.

Isolation

Locked at the database level

Row-level security as a second lock: even our own application sees zero rows without the right deal context. Fail closed, by design.

Audit

A log nobody can rewrite

The audit trail is append-only, enforced inside the database itself — not even we can edit the record of a transaction.

Access

Two-factor where it matters

Mandatory two-step verification for administrators; single-use sign-in links (valid 15 minutes) and rate limiting for stakeholders.

Least privilege

Separated roles, EU ground

Application, migrations and operations run under separate database roles with minimal rights, on EU infrastructure with daily encrypted backups.

A word on "end-to-end encryption": a data room that watermarks, converts and indexes documents cannot be blind to them. So instead of a marketing label, we encrypt everywhere it is possible and document precisely where processing happens — verifiable in our security documentation.
