Admincontrol AI
AI built for board governance and M&A due diligence. Admincontrol helps boards, executives, and deal teams find critical information faster, prepare efficiently, and make better decisions, while protecting the confidentiality of sensitive documents.EU-hosted. ISO 27001:2022 certified. Your data is never used to train AI models.
AI Search
Board packs, due diligence rooms, and deal documentation can run into thousands of files. AI Search scans your entire portal or data room and surfaces the most relevant document based on what you actually asked, not just keyword matches. Your result is automatically highlighted within its folder, so you land exactly where you need to be, in seconds instead of minutes.
Why it matters for your role:
AI Search can be enabled on your existing portal with no migration required.
AI-powered OCR
Due diligence fails when critical information hides in a scanned contract or a PDF nobody can search. AI-powered OCR converts scanned documents, image files, and PDFs with embedded images into fully indexed, searchable text, so nothing gets missed in a data room or board archive.
What's covered:
Good to know: OCR scanning is available in portals with AI Search enabled and applies to newly uploaded documents. Existing files are not scanned retroactively, your Customer Success Manager can confirm your setup and walk through options.
AI Summaries
Reading time is the scarcest resource on any board or deal team. AI Summaries give every user an instant, accurate grasp of a document before they open it, one read, full picture.
Summaries are generated once, directly in the platform, and every user with file access sees the exact same vetted version. No inconsistent AI paraphrasing, no version confusion, no information gaps between board members or deal team members.
What you get:
This matters most where it always has: cross-border boards, multinational deal teams, and advisors working across languages who need the same facts, at the same time, without translation drift.
AI Editor
Board resolutions, minutes, and deal communications need to be precise, and often need to travel across languages without losing meaning. The AI Editor lets you insert or replace passages directly to improve coherence and flow, and regenerate suggestions when you want alternative wording.
Write in your preferred language and have it translated into clear, professional English, so international boards and cross-border deal teams stay aligned on exactly the same document.
Security note: All data is processed securely through Microsoft Azure solely to generate the AI output. No data is stored after processing, and none of it is used to train models, confidentiality and compliance are maintained at every step.
AI & Security
ecurity has always been Admincontrol's first priority, and that has not changed with AI. We don't ship AI features to check a box, we design each one with intention, test it thoroughly, and release it only once it meets our security bar.
This is the same standard boards, M&A professionals, and their advisors already expect from Admincontrol for governance and deal documentation, now extended to every AI feature we build.
Admincontrol is ISO 27001:2022 certified across the entire organization, including our solutions and processes. All AI processing takes place within our own dedicated Azure instance. Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit, and is never used to train AI models.
Our AI solutions handle sensitive business information, with security, compliance, and trust at the core. Here we address key questions on secure AI adoption.
Please contact us if you have additional questions about how we enable secure and trusted AI adoption.
AI Search is an AI-powered search feature that scans your entire board portal or virtual data room and returns the most relevant document based on the meaning of your query, not just exact keyword matches. It automatically highlights your result within its folder, so you land directly on the right document instead of browsing manually. It can be enabled on your existing portal without migration, contact your Customer Success Manager to turn it on.
Yes. All AI processing takes place within the EU using Azure OpenAI, inside Admincontrol's own dedicated Azure instance. Admincontrol does not log queries or responses, encrypts data at rest and in transit, and never uses customer data to train AI models. The entire organization, including AI solutions and processes, is ISO 27001:2022 certified.
Your data is processed exclusively within the EU using Microsoft Azure and Azure OpenAI. It is used only to generate the AI output you requested, it is not stored after processing and is never used to train any AI model, for any customer.
No. AI-powered OCR scanning applies to newly uploaded documents in portals with AI Search enabled. Existing files are not scanned retroactively. Your Customer Success Manager can confirm your current setup and discuss options for existing documents.
AI Search can be turned on for existing Board Portal and Virtual Data Room accounts without migrating to a new platform. Contact your Customer Success Manager, or reach out to our team directly, to get it activated.
AI Summaries are currently available in eight languages: English, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, French, Dutch, German, and Finnish.
Yes. Each summary is generated once, directly in the platform, and every user with access to that file sees the identical, vetted version. This removes version confusion and ensures every board member, executive, or deal team member is working from the same information.
The AI Editor lets you insert or replace text within a document to improve clarity and flow, and regenerate suggestions for alternative wording. You can also write in your preferred language and have it translated into clear, professional English, which helps keep international boards and cross-border deal teams aligned on a single document.
Yes. Admincontrol is ISO 27001:2022 certified across the entire organization, including its AI-powered solutions and processes — not a limited subset of the business.
AI Search and OCR make every document in a data room, including scanned contracts and image-based PDFs, instantly searchable, so nothing critical is missed during review. AI Summaries let deal teams grasp a document's content before opening it, speeding up preparation, and the AI Editor helps teams draft and align on documents quickly across languages, all while keeping sensitive deal data within a secure, EU-hosted, ISO-certified environment.
