Security You Can Hand to a Regulator
Most data rooms ask you to take their word for it. Waafir is built so the important claims are things you can check — who saw what, what changed, and what never left our servers in the first place.

Built in, not bolted on
The Original Never Leaves Our Servers
Most data rooms hand over the file and ask the browser not to save it. Waafir never hands it over. The original stays on our servers and is never sent to a reader — they are shown the document, not given it. Downloading is a permission you grant, not the default.
Every page is watermarked
Their name, email, address and the moment they opened it, across every page they see. A leaked screenshot says who leaked it.
You choose what each side sees
Your deal team works the live model, formulas and all — as shown here. Investors you have not granted download can be given the numbers with the formulas behind them withheld.
Step-up on the act, not the session
Sensitive actions re-authenticate at the moment they are taken, per action. A session that went unattended an hour ago cannot spend the trust it earned at login.
Redaction you can undo
The original is always kept. A redaction you got wrong is lifted by an authorised member of the deal team, rather than a scramble to find a clean copy and re-upload.
Prove it, don't promise it
A Tamper-Evident Audit Trail
Most data rooms give you an activity log you simply have to trust. Waafir gives you one you can prove. Three questions decide whether a log is evidence or just a list, and you can answer all three with something better than our word.
“Has this log been edited?”
Every entry is sealed to the one before it. Change a single record — a timestamp, a name, a permission — and the seal no longer matches. Tampering does not have to be caught; it announces itself.
“Was anything removed?”
Deleting an entry is as visible as altering one. The record cannot be quietly made shorter, so a gap in the trail is never silence — it is a break, and it shows you exactly where.
“Could Waafir have altered it?”
Each day’s record is sealed into storage we cannot rewrite either, and every export you take is signed with a key whose public half we publish. Your auditor can check the trail without trusting your vendor — or asking us.
Auditors and regulators do not want a log. They want to know it is the same log you had at the time. That is the difference, and it is on by default.
Retention and recall
Never Lose What Actually Happened
Governance
DefaultReal tamper-evidence for every organisation, out of the box. Anchored proofs are immutable against every normal principal; only a sealed, audited break-glass role could ever alter them. Retained for 7 years.
Compliance
Opt-inFor hard regulatory mandates. Anchored proofs become physically immutable for the full 7-year term — for everyone, including the cloud account root. Opting in is a deliberate, irreversible one-way door.
Snapshots
Per roomFreeze a room at a moment in time and share that instead of the live one. Structure and every file stay exactly as they stood, with their own access list — so months later you can show precisely what a bidder saw, and later changes cannot rewrite it.
