Audit rooms and data rooms

14 days free. No card needed.
Every room in one place, with this week's viewers at the top.
- Live the same day, on a flat monthly price.

Remote audits
Run a remote audit from one room.
Auditors read, ask questions and request documents in the room. Your team answers with the file attached, and every step is dated and kept.
-
Open the room
Add your SOPs and records, then invite the audit team. They accept your NDA or CDA first.
-
Take requests
Auditors ask beside the document, or paste their whole request list at once.
-
Answer with the file
Assign each request, attach the document to the answer and approve it before it goes out.
-
Keep the record
Download the request list, see who read what, and close the room when the audit ends.
Why teams switch
There's a calmer way to share sensitive files.
Email and shared drives
How most teams still do it- Attachments forwarded to people you never approved
- No idea who opened what, or for how long
- Auditor requests lost across dozens of email threads
- No way to take access back once a file is sent
With Shera
One room per outside company- Each company gets its own room and sees only its own files and questions
- Every document opened, and for how long, by person
- Requests and questions assigned, approved and answered in one place
- Remove a person, or close the room when the work ends
Requests and Q&A
Auditor requests and questions, in one place.
Outside viewers ask next to the document they're about, or paste a whole request list at once. A teammate drafts each answer, an owner can approve it before it goes out, and every answer is dated and kept.
- Questions can point to the exact document
- Paste a list of requests in one go
- Turn on approval and an owner checks every answer before it's sent
Rooms and permissions
Every file in its place, every viewer in their lane.
Upload whole folders of PDFs, such as SOPs, batch records or contracts, and Shera numbers them like an index. Give each outside company its own room and choose what its people can open, folder by folder.
- Index numbers update as you move files
- View only, print, or download with names stamped on
- See the room exactly as your guests see it
- Start the next audit from this room as a template
Secure viewer
Read in the browser. Named on every page.
Outside viewers confirm their email with a code, accept your NDA or CDA, and read in a viewer that stamps their email and the date across each page. Questions sit right beside the document.
- Viewers read in their web browser, on any computer or phone
- You decide if they can print or download
- Access ends on the date you set for the room
- Your logo and colour on the room
Analytics
See what was actually reviewed.
See time spent on each document and page, by person, with their company. Know which records an auditor spent time on, or what a partner read, before you meet.
- Reading time for every page and every viewer
- Daily views across all your rooms
- Export the full activity record any time
Security
How we keep files safe.
Plain facts about what Shera does with your files.
Stored in North America
Your files and your account data are kept in data centers in North America.
Encrypted
Files are encrypted while they are stored and while they travel to a viewer.
Each firm walled off
The database itself keeps every firm's rooms and files apart from every other firm's.
NDA or CDA before the first page
Outside viewers confirm their email and accept your agreement before anything opens.
Names on every page
Each page shows the viewer's email and the date, on screen and on watermarked downloads.
A full record
Every view, download and change is recorded, and you can export it.
Who it's for

Made for audits in life sciences, and just as useful wherever confidential files leave the company.

Questions
Answers before you ask.
Still have a question? Send us a message, and a person will reply.
Where is my data stored?
In North America, encrypted while stored and while it travels. Each firm's data is walled off from every other firm's by the database itself.
Do my outside viewers need an account?
No. They confirm their email with a one-time code, accept your NDA and start reading. Viewers are free on every plan.
Can different companies share one room?
Give each outside company its own room. Everyone in a room sees the same files and questions, so separate rooms keep each company's questions private.
Can we use Shera during a remote audit?
Yes. Auditors read in their browser while you talk on your usual video call, and you can see which files they open.
Does Shera need to be validated?
Your quality team decides, based on how you use it. Shera is for sharing copies for review, while your originals stay in your own quality system. Shera stores each file exactly as you uploaded it, and adds watermarks only on screen and to watermarked downloads.
What happens when my trial ends?
Everything stays where it is. To add new rooms, files or people, choose a plan in Settings.
Can I take access away?
Yes. Remove one person or a whole company in one click. They lose access right away, and the activity record keeps what they read.
Can I use my own logo and colour?
Yes. Your logo and brand colour show on every room your viewers open.
What kinds of files work?
PDFs. Upload single files or whole folders, and Shera keeps the folder order and numbers each item. Save Word or Excel files as PDF first, so everyone sees the same fixed pages. To hide part of a record, redact it in your PDF tool first, then upload the redacted copy.
Can I get all my files back?
Yes. Download a whole room as one zip file, with its index and activity record, whenever you like.
Send one secure room link instead of attachments.
Open a room, invite the other side, and know what they read.
