What CapLinked is
CapLinked is well-suited for legal and finance teams that need advanced document controls, OCR search, redaction, and API-driven integration with existing enterprise tooling.

Security controls, explained
What each listed control does for the people running the deal. Controls are taken from CapLinked's documentation and plan descriptions; the plan tier that includes each one varies, so confirm it in the tier you are quoted.
Granular Permissions: access can be set per user or group down to folder and file level, with view-only, download and print as separate rights, so a bidder sees only their slice of the room.
Watermarking: documents are stamped with the viewer's identity when opened or downloaded, which discourages forwarding and makes a leaked copy traceable.
Q&A Workflow: buyer questions are logged, routed to the right expert and answered inside the room, so nothing sensitive moves to email threads during diligence.
Analytics & Reporting: page-level activity shows who opened what, for how long, and which folders a buyer group keeps returning to, which is the best early signal of deal interest.
OCR: scanned PDFs are made searchable, so buyers can full-text search a room that was built from paper records.
Custom Branding: the room carries the company's logo, colours and a branded login, which matters for investor-facing rooms where first impressions count.
API & Integrations: documents, users and activity can be managed programmatically and connected to CRM, e-signature or storage tools.
