How AI is used

Govern 365 is a virtual data room (VDR) solution that operates within a company's existing Microsoft 365 tenant. This approach is designed to provide data sovereignty, keeping files within the organization's own boundary rather than in third-party cloud silos.

The tool is intended for legal teams, general counsel, and chief accounting officers managing sensitive transactions. It supports the creation of audit-ready environments for sharing confidential documents with external parties.

Security features include AES-256 encryption, DRM protection, and advanced watermarking. Buyers should note that the software requires a Microsoft 365 environment and utilizes annual billing with a one-time setup fee.

Organizations may find it useful for collaboration where compliance standards like ISO27001, SOC, and FEDRAMP are required.
