Cloud-Based Backup

This software offers a secure, cloud-based data backup and recovery solution for business owners. There are different Backup Packages to choose from that will suit different business budgets and needs

Total Backup

The Total Backup plan backs up all of your data n a daily, incremental schedule. This is the recommended backup package, because it will ensure that all of your folders and files remain safe no matter what happens.

Partial Backup

This backup option backs up system files and critical files only — omitted certain pre-defined folders or file types (can substantially reduce volume of data that is backed up).

Dataroom Security

The security of this Dataroom incorporates the highest security levels with only authorized personnel being able to access the system.

All of your data is encrypted before being stored, and is protected by 256 Bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Encryption during transfer to and from the VDR.

A full audit trail of document downloaded/viewed is made available on a person by person basis.

The VDR system also offers an Information Request Center (essentially, a Q&A), which allows interested parties to get with the project management team and make requests for information and/or to see fully documented replies to their inquiries without the need to send this information through unsecured methods such as letters or emails.

Dataroom Setup

CTC-Aspire offers same- and next-day setup for all M&A Datarooms for accelerated mergers and acquisition deals. This setup takes no more than four hours.

• Set up a secure domain in a name of your choice from which the Dataroom will be accessed (running 256 Bit SSL Encryption).
• Add all features such as Information Request Center and Audit trail which you will have requested and prepare your Datarom for use.
• Set up User Groups and Group Permissions defining which folders users can see.
• Prepare registration page to which all users will be sent before being given access to Dataroom. Users will agree to your T&C of dataroom use before being assigned their usernames and passwords.
• Customize appearance of the Dataroom to include your logo and corporate colors.

When Adding Documents to Your Dataroom, the procedure is as follows:

• Prepare an index of documents to be uploaded to the Dataroom (you will likely want to do this yourself, but customer service will help as needed).
• Scan all documents to your hard disk and convert them to PDF format (CTC-Aspire can quote for this if you require it).
• Upload the documents to the VDR. Documents can be uploaded individually or in bulk. All documents added to the Dataroom will be indexed for easy retrieval via online search.
• Check the integrity of the Document Tree to ensure it matches your original index and that it is complete.

When Sending People to Your Dataroom, CTC-Aspire recommends that users of the VDR register and agree to the Confidentiality Agreement before being access to your VDR. To achieve this, we will provide you with a web address to send people to — together with a Pincode, which when entered, will take them to your Confidentiality Agreement. Login details will be sent via email.
