Request that the service provider provide an inventory of any downtimes and outages to determine whether they’ve been resolved and when, which will provide you with an idea of their level of service.
VDR partners should also provide an array of security features, including multifactor authentication scan for viruses and malware and advanced cryptography to protect documents. Find a vendor that provides these features, as well as physical security measures like offsite backups, fire protection and biometric access to their data centers.
