This blog explores how finance teams can use DMS+ to create a secure, compliant and fully auditable financial data room. It covers the challenges of traditional storage methods, the regulatory importance of document security and the powerful features of DMS+
In today’s fast-paced financial landscape, secure access to sensitive documents isn’t just a convenience—it’s a regulatory and operational necessity. Whether you're preparing for audits, managing due diligence, or coordinating internal reviews, having a secure financial data room is vital. Traditional methods like shared drives or email attachments fall short when it comes to compliance, traceability and access control.
That’s where DMS+ steps in. DMS+ offers a financial data room that is secure, structured and purpose-built for finance departments. From automated access controls to audit logs and encrypted sharing, it’s designed to safeguard your most critical documents—while ensuring you remain ready for any financial scrutiny.
A financial data room is a centralized, secure digital environment where organizations can store, manage and share sensitive financial documents. These rooms are essential for:
• M&A due diligence
• Annual audits
• Budget and investment approvals
• Compliance reporting (SOX, IFRS, RBI, SEBI, etc.)
• Internal finance reviews
It’s not just about storage—it’s about access control, visibility, version control and audit readiness.
Financial documents are subject to regulations like: • SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act)
• RBI guidelines for NBFCs and banks
• SEBI reporting norms
• Internal audit requirements
Failure to present accurate, complete and retrievable financial records can result in fines, reputational loss, or worse.
Whether you're sharing quarterly results or investor updates, financial data must be protected from leaks, unauthorized access, or accidental exposure.
Managing multiple versions of balance sheets, cash flow reports or budget plans can lead to chaos without a version-controlled, role-based system.
• Shared drives lack role-based access
• Email trails are untraceable and insecure
• Files may exist in multiple versions with no way to identify the latest
• Manual approvals leave no audit trail
• Difficult to revoke access instantly
These systems pose serious security, compliance and productivity challenges.
Control who can view, edit, download, print, or share financial documents based on:
• User roles (e.g., CFO, finance analyst, auditor)
• Document type (e.g., invoices, contracts, financial statements)
• Business unit or project
Automatically create folders for each reporting cycle (Q1, Q2, FY) and tag documents with metadata such as:
• Ledger ID
• Cost center
• Department
• Project code
Track every modification to a financial document. Enable workflow-based approvals with digital signature integration.
Get visibility into:
• Who accessed or edited what and when
• Missing or expired documents
• Audit readiness status per document category
Share selected documents with auditors or board members using:
• Time-limited access links
• Download restrictions
• View-only mode
• Watermarking for sensitive documents
