Challenge

Identifying Cyber Risks

Assessing cyber risk in M&A is complex and requires answering key questions: Has the target faced past cyber attacks? What factors drive its current and future risk? Are its technologies vulnerable? Does its cybersecurity meet industry standards?

Gaining a comprehensive and truthful view of a company’s cyber risk during an acquisition demands specialized expertise and a diverse skill set.

Before

M&A Cyber Screening and Vetting

During the Target Identification and Screening phase, we provide a cyber assessment of potential targets to evaluate their cyber hygiene, digital footprint, and historical cyber incidents.

This early-stage vetting helps you identify high-risk targets before committing resources to due diligence. This is done in full ” stealth”-mode without impact on the target company.

During

M&A Cyber Due Diligence

We conduct an extensive, yet mostly passive, cyber due diligence assessment to evaluate the target’s cybersecurity resilience, maturity, and key risks. This can be complemented with a qualitative review of security best practices based on industry frameworks like NIST and the ISO 27000 series.

After

M&A Managed Detection & Response

After deal closure, our transitional MDR service provides 24/7 threat monitoring to counter the heightened cyber risk during transition. We proactively hunt for threats in the target’s IT environment to ensure a secure integration.

Post-Merger

Integration

We conduct targeted Red Team assessments to evaluate the acquired company’s cybersecurity, plan integration, remediate threats, and ensure a secure transition. Additionally, we provide advisory on integration and technical best practices to minimize cyber risk

Post-Merger

Review

After the integration, we conduct a post-merger review to assess the effectiveness of the cybersecurity measures implemented and identify areas for further optimization.

What is due diligence in cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity due diligence is the process of evaluating a target company’s cyber risks, security posture, and compliance during an M&A transaction. This involves assessing past cyber incidents, identifying vulnerabilities in technology and infrastructure, and determining how well the company follows industry standards like NIST or ISO 27000.
