The Secure Virtual Data Room Built for Canada
TrueNorth Data combines Protected B compliance with AI-powered document intelligence. Every byte of your data stays in Canada, encrypted at rest and in transit, with a tamper-evident audit trail.
What is a Virtual Data Room?
A Virtual Data Room (VDR) is a secure online repository for storing and sharing confidential documents. Used in M&A transactions, legal proceedings, audits, and regulatory filings, VDRs replace physical data rooms with a controlled digital environment where every access is tracked and every document is protected.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Share financial records, contracts, and due diligence materials with potential buyers or investors in a controlled environment with granular access permissions.
Legal & Compliance
Manage litigation holds, regulatory submissions, and sensitive legal documents with complete audit trails that meet court-admissible evidence standards.
Board & Governance
Distribute board materials, manage corporate governance documents, and facilitate secure collaboration between directors, officers, and advisors.
Why TrueNorth Data?
Most VDR providers store your data in the United States. TrueNorth Data was built from the ground up for Canadian data sovereignty, with security controls that meet the Government of Canada's Protected B classification.
Canadian Data Sovereignty
Your data never leaves Canada. Hosted on Google Cloud's northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal) region, with encryption keys managed through Google Cloud KMS in the same region. No U.S. subsidiary access, no cross-border data transfers.
Protected B Classification
Designed to meet the Government of Canada's ITSG-33 security controls for Protected B information. This covers data whose compromise could cause serious injury to individuals or organizations — financial records, personnel files, legal proceedings, and sensitive business information.
Encryption at Every Layer
AES-256 encryption at rest using Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) via Google Cloud KMS. TLS 1.3 in transit. Your encryption keys stay under your organization's control — not even TrueNorth Data can read your files without your authorization.
Tamper-Evident Audit Trail
Every action — every login, view, download, edit, and permission change — is logged in a SHA-256 hash-chained audit trail. Logs are retained for 7 years per Protected B requirements and cannot be modified or deleted without breaking the cryptographic chain.
Platform Features
Everything you need to securely manage, share, and analyze confidential documents.
Organized Data Rooms
Create separate data rooms for each deal, project, or matter. Organize documents into nested folders with drag-and-drop uploading and bulk operations.
Granular Access Control
Six permission levels — from Owner to Restricted Viewer — with per-document and per-folder permissions. Control who can view, download, edit, or manage each piece of content.
AI Document Intelligence
AI-powered document summarization, question-and-answer, entity extraction, and semantic search. Ask questions about your documents in natural language and get cited answers instantly.
In-Browser Document Editing
Edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files directly in the browser with OnlyOffice integration. No downloads needed — documents stay within the secure environment at all times.
Multi-Factor Authentication
TOTP-based multi-factor authentication with backup codes. MFA can be enforced organization-wide via security policies, ensuring every user meets your security requirements.
Secure Document Viewer
View PDFs, images, and Office documents without downloading them. Watermarking, print prevention, and copy protection keep sensitive content from being exfiltrated.
Security Architecture
Security isn't an add-on — it's the foundation. Every component of TrueNorth Data was designed to meet Protected B requirements from day one.
Session-Based Authentication
Secure, server-side session management with HttpOnly, SameSite-strict cookies. No client-side tokens that can be intercepted or replayed.
CSRF Protection
Double-submit cookie pattern prevents cross-site request forgery on every state-changing operation.
Rate Limiting
Intelligent rate limiting on authentication endpoints and API routes to prevent brute-force attacks and API abuse.
CMEK (Customer-Managed Keys)
Encryption keys managed through Google Cloud KMS in the Montreal region. You control the keys — revoke access at any time.
Password Policy Enforcement
Configurable password complexity requirements, bcrypt hashing, and breach-detection integration to block compromised passwords.
Security Headers
HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and strict Referrer-Policy enforced on every response.
