Dedomena is an all PaaS clean room setup on an Azure, including ML workspaces for quick data room exercises.
A data room is a physical or online space set up by the seller to collate and store information about the target company and its business for the purposes of completing or rather satisfying the buyer's due diligence exercise. Physical data rooms – which are becoming increasingly uncommon – house hard copy documents in a room (normally in the offices of the sellers or their advisers) which is supervised by a representative of the seller (this would often be their solicitor). This contrasts with online data rooms – commonly referred to as virtual data rooms – which are made available through a secure internet site and act as a digital document repository.

Data rooms are an essential part of the due diligence process which, if administered correctly, should encourage collaboration and communication between the involved parties by facilitating the exchange of confidential information in a secure manner.
