Its features include a central location with enhanced security measures such as firewalls and encryption, and also multiple backups as well as collaborative tools that streamline document review and discussion.

It also increases transparency and accountability by monitoring of user activity and audit trails. It also helps organizations to protect against data breaches by ensuring that data is kept private and only accessible to authorized users.
