DocullyVDR for Divestments
Separate what\'s being divested from what isn\'t — cleanly, with full audit trails.
The Scenario
Clean separation of divested vs. retained data
Carve-outs require separating the data being divested from data the parent company is retaining — often while both an internal team and an external buyer need parallel access. The risk isn\'t just leakage; it\'s giving the buyer visibility into retained-business data that was never meant to leave the parent. Folder-level permissions and redaction are how you keep that line clean.
How DocullyVDR Handles It
A step-by-step walkthrough
Separate divested from retained
Organize folders so divested-business documents are physically separate from retained-business documents — not mixed in the same directory.
Redact retained-business content
Where a document spans both divested and retained operations, redact the retained-business content before the buyer ever sees it.
Set parallel access
Give the internal carve-out team access to both divested and retained folders, while the buyer sees only the divested set.
Track both sides
Full activity tracking monitors engagement on both the divested and retained sides — so you know who's looking at what.
Revoke on close
Auto-revoke the buyer's access when the deal closes, with a complete activity log exportable for the deal record.
Features That Matter Here
Built for this workflow
Granular Folder-Level Permissions
Keep divested and retained data in separate folders with separate permissions — the buyer never sees retained-business content.
Redaction
Where a document spans both businesses, redact the retained portion before it's ever visible to the buyer.
Full Activity Logs
Track engagement on both sides of the carve-out — the internal team and the buyer — with a complete, exportable record.
Auto-Revoke on Expiry
Buyer access shuts off automatically when the deal closes — no lingering visibility into divested data.
Dynamic Watermarking
Every document view carries the viewer's identity and timestamp — deterring leaks of retained-business content.
Structured Q&A Workflow
Buyer questions about the divested business are threaded and traceable — without giving them access to retained data.
FAQ
Questions about this deal type
How do I keep retained-business data out of the buyer's view?
Divested and retained documents live in separate folders with separate permissions. Where a document spans both, redact the retained portion before the buyer sees it.
Can the internal team see both divested and retained data while the buyer sees only divested?
Yes — the internal carve-out team gets access to both folder sets, while the buyer's permissions are scoped to the divested set only.
What happens to the buyer's access when the deal closes?
Access is auto-revoked on the close date, and a full activity log is exportable for the deal record.
Can I track who's viewing which side of the data?
Yes — full activity logs show document-level engagement for both the internal team and the buyer.
