IDENTIFY
Mergers & Acquisitions
Conduct a cybersecurity assessment during mergers, acquisitions and expansion to identify risks with financial, legal or operational consequences.
The Challenge
Mergers, acquisitions and investments carry cyber risks that are rarely visible through standard due diligence. Security incidents, unaddressed vulnerabilities, and inherited weaknesses can directly affect valuation, liability, and future integration.
Our assessment delivers a clear, independent view of these risks, designed to support high-stakes decisions and maintain stability throughout the process.
Solution Features
Cybersecurity Due Diligence Assessment
Conduct a thorough evaluation of the target’s cybersecurity posture, including policies, frameworks, and leadership commitment, to identify potential risks that could affect the transaction.
Technical Infrastructure and Security Measures Review
Examine the target’s technical infrastructure, including hardware, software, and network security controls, to uncover vulnerabilities and ensure robust defense mechanisms are in place.
Incident Response and Data Management Evaluation
Assess the target’s incident response plans, data classification protocols, and data loss prevention tools to ensure preparedness for potential cyber incidents.
Third-Party and Supply Chain Risk Assessment
Evaluate the target’s vendor management practices and supply chain security to identify and mitigate risks associated with third-party relationships.
Legal and Contractual Obligations Review
Review the target’s compliance with data protection laws and contractual obligations to identify potential legal liabilities and ensure regulatory adherence.
Post-Deal Integration Support
Provide strategic guidance for integrating cybersecurity measures post-acquisition, ensuring a seamless transition and continued protection against cyber threats.
The Power Of Knowing
Preserve Value
Reveal cybersecurity issues that materially influence the worth of the deal.
