What to Look For in a VDR System

A vdr can be described as the black box of an aircraft. It stores a variety of data which can be retrieved in the event of an incident at sea. The system is comprised of a device which collects data by using sensors mounted onboard, as well as capsules that safeguard the data. It is designed to withstand shock, fire and deepsea pressure penetration. It also has an instrument for communication that is connected to the ship’s emergency position reporting system (EPIRB) and is capable of being located by satellite.

IMO regulations state that the system be equipped with a Concentrator which processes and encrypts data from sensors, and the final recording medium which stores the data in a fixed capsule that can withstand the aftermath of a devastating maritime accident. It is possible to perform an audit of performance at any time. This could be done annually or after repairs or maintenance on the VDR or signal sources that supply information to the system.

A good VDR should have a mobile-first style that allows users to sign in and access database access control best practices documents on desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile devices and maintain the same basic functionality. Make sure that the software is user-friendly, as it will speed up due diligence and deal-making.

Choose the VDR that has page-level monitoring of user activity to create audit trails as well as provide useful business information on document review progress. If you notice that the HR and legal due diligence teams spend the majority of their time looking through documents on a certain subject It is possible to spot any potential liability issues early on and address them in a proactive manner.
