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.
