Secure Your Most Sensitive Deal Documents
Confidencial gives you full control over financials, legal docs, and IP shared during M&A, fundraising, and strategic deals.
​
Protect confidentiality throughout the deal lifecycle. Confidencial embeds encryption, access controls, and audit trails directly into every file - before, during, and after it’s shared.
What Is M&A Data Risk?
Deals move fast. Documents move faster. But the tools used to share them - email, cloud folders, upload links - leave sensitive data exposed.
Common risks include:
Cap tables, contracts, and financials sent over email
Files stored in unmanaged cloud or personal drives
Documents downloaded, copied, or forwarded without controls
60% of data breaches involve accidental exposure or third-party mishandling.
No way to revoke access if terms change or deals fall through
Leaks that damage trust or trigger legal action
Real-World Breach: Cap Table Exposure
During a startup acquisition, an investor accidentally forwarded a cap table with sensitive ownership and compensation data. The breach damaged relationships and led to months of legal fallout.
Traditional methods move fast but leave your most sensitive information unprotected. Confidencial ensures your documents don’t go further than they’re meant to.
