Ciiimple Security and Access Controls — Document Protection for Fundraising
Ciiimple protects every document in your investor data room with enterprise-grade encryption, server-side watermarking, and per-investor access controls — so you always know who has access and can revoke it instantly.
Encryption and Data Security
All documents stored in Ciiimple are protected with:
- AES-256 encryption at rest — industry-standard encryption for stored files
- HTTPS/TLS in transit — all data in motion is encrypted end to end
- Server-side processing — watermarking and document extraction happen on Ciiimple's servers, not the viewer's device
Server-Side PDF Watermarking
This is Ciiimple's most distinctive security feature. Every time an investor opens a PDF:
- A watermark is burned into the document server-side containing the viewer's email address, the date, and your company name
- The watermark cannot be stripped by the viewer — it is not a browser overlay
- If a document leaks, you know exactly who shared it
- You can revoke that person's access in one click immediately
This is the same discipline applied in later-stage deals — Ciiimple makes it accessible from pre-seed day one.
Per-Investor Access Controls
Every share link in Ciiimple is configurable:
- Password protection — require a password before the room can be opened
- Expiration dates — links auto-expire on a date you set
- Email restriction — limit access to a specific email address
- Domain restriction — limit access to anyone at a specific company domain
- NDA gating — require the investor to accept an NDA before viewing any document
- Instant revocation — remove any investor's access with one click, effective immediately
NDA Management
Founders can gate their most sensitive materials — financials, cap table, customer data — behind a built-in NDA requirement. The investor must accept before any document is viewable, and the acceptance is logged in your full audit trail.
Audit Trail
Ciiimple maintains a complete record of every upload, view, share, download, and access revocation — giving you a timestamped log of all activity in your data room.
FAQ
- Can an investor remove or bypass the watermark?
- No. Watermarks are applied server-side before the PDF is delivered to the viewer — they cannot be stripped using browser tools or PDF editors.
- What happens when I revoke a link?
- Access is removed immediately. The investor's link stops working the moment you click revoke — there is no delay.
- Can I require an NDA before investors see any documents?
- Yes. You can enable NDA gating on any data room, and investors must accept the NDA before they can view any content.
