Transaction Compliance for M&A AI

The Challenge: AI in M&A Due Diligence

Deal teams adopting AI face compliance questions that traditional data room providers haven't addressed:

How do you track who accessed target company information when an analyst asks AI to summarize financials?
How do you demonstrate NDA compliance when AI retrieves information from multiple documents?
How do you retain AI conversation logs that discuss confidential deal terms?
How do you respond to counterparty requests for access logs?

DueDili provides the data governance controls and audit evidence your deal team needs.

Confidentiality Controls

Access Logging

Every AI interaction with deal data is logged in a tamper-evident audit trail that records:

Who accessed the information
What was accessed (data room documents, financials, contracts)
When the access occurred
Context for the access (deal, workstream, conversation)
Outcome of the interaction

Integrity and Authenticity

Counterparties and regulators expect access logs to be authentic and unaltered. DueDili uses cryptographic chaining to ensure audit records cannot be modified without detection. Any alteration to historical records breaks the chain and is immediately detectable, providing assurance that logs presented to counterparties accurately reflect what occurred.

Access Controls

DueDili implements user identification tied to all AI interactions:

Every deal team member has a unique identifier tied to their AI queries
Organization and project-based access controls limit which transaction data each user can query

Transmission Security

All data transmission between clients and DueDili is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Cloudflare enforces TLS on all connections, supporting TLS 1.2 and 1.3.

Data Lifecycle Management

Retention Periods

Configure retention aligned with your transaction agreements:

Organization-level defaults for standard retention
Project-specific overrides for transactions with specific NDA terms
Automatic archival before deletion
Legal hold capability to preserve records during disputes

Post-Transaction Cleanup

When deals close or terminate, DueDili supports appropriate data lifecycle management:

Retention policies can be configured per deal
Closed deals can have shorter retention than ongoing matters
All deletions are permanently documented

Implementation Checklist

Configure organization-level retention policies
Set up project-level overrides where transaction agreements require specific retention
Define legal hold procedures for post-closing disputes
Train deal team on appropriate AI use with confidential information
Establish audit log review schedule
Document AI data governance in deal process guidelines
