Detailed Review
Imprima launched its virtual data room in 2001, according to its company page. The privacy notice names Imprima (Nederland) B.V. at De Boelelaan 7 in Amsterdam as the principal controller, with group offices in London, Frankfurt, Paris and New York.
Since 2014 the company has been owned by OTM Participation C, an investment company controlled by Arco van Nieuwland and Pieter van der Made, as stated on the company page. Imprima describes itself as an AI due diligence platform built around large language models.
AI Tools for Due Diligence
The AI set is named Smart: Smart Summaries for legal documents, Smart Review for contracts and red flags, Smart Index for structuring the room, Smart Redaction in multiple languages, Smart Translation and Smart Q&A for bidder questions.
Redactions are described as burnt into the document. The AI features are part of the data room rather than a separate product.
Security and Data Location
Imprima states that all data, primary and backup, is stored in EU locations, that ISO 27001 certification covers the entire business rather than only the data centres, and that it runs three vulnerability and penetration testing programmes.
Customers can encrypt documents with a key they hold (bring your own key). The platform is built on Microsoft Azure Storage, which is described on the security page.
Integration and White-Label
Imprima lists an API, a SharePoint link and single sign-on. A white-label version lets advisers resell the data room under their own brand.
Limitations to Consider
Pricing is not published, so budgets can only be compared after a sales contact. The infrastructure runs on Microsoft Azure Storage, which puts a US-parented infrastructure supplier in the chain even though the data is stored in EU locations. The group also has a US subsidiary, Imprima (USA) Inc., so check which entity signs your order form.
