Security
Due Diligence

Evaluate the cybersecurity posture of acquisition targets, investment opportunities, and strategic partners — identifying risks, technical debt, and compliance gaps before you commit.

Cybersecurity risk is business risk. We conduct pre-acquisition, pre-investment, and partnership security due diligence assessments that give your deal team, board, and investors a clear picture of the target's security posture — enabling informed decisions about valuation, deal terms, and post-deal integration planning.

Why Security Due Diligence?

A data breach at an acquisition target can destroy deal value overnight. Undisclosed compliance gaps can create inherited liability. Technical debt in security infrastructure can balloon post-merger integration costs. Yet many M&A due diligence processes still treat cybersecurity as an afterthought — a few questions on a spreadsheet rather than a rigorous technical evaluation.

Our Security Due Diligence assessments go beyond questionnaires. We conduct technical evaluations of the target's security architecture, review their compliance posture, assess their incident history, and evaluate the maturity of their security program — producing a risk-rated report that translates technical findings into business impact language your deal team understands.

Assessment Scope

Security program maturity evaluation
Architecture & infrastructure assessment
Compliance posture review (PCI, ISO, SOC, HIPAA)
Incident history & breach exposure analysis
Third-party & supply chain risk
Data protection & privacy practices

Our Services

Pre-Acquisition Assessment

Comprehensive security evaluation of the target entity — covering governance, architecture, compliance, incident history, and technical debt — producing a risk-rated report for your deal team.

Pre-Investment Assessment

Cybersecurity evaluation for PE firms, VCs, and investors — assessing the security maturity of portfolio companies or investment targets as part of the due diligence process.

Partnership Security Evaluation

Evaluate the security posture of strategic partners before entering into data-sharing agreements, joint ventures, or technology integrations.

Post-Acquisition Integration Planning

Develop the cybersecurity integration roadmap for post-merger activity — prioritizing remediation, aligning security standards, and planning systems consolidation.

Compliance Gap Assessment

Evaluate the target's compliance posture across relevant frameworks (PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR) — identifying gaps that create inherited compliance liability.

Executive Risk Briefing

Translate technical security findings into business impact language for boards, deal teams, and investors — with risk ratings, remediation cost estimates, and deal term recommendations.

Why It Matters

Informed Deal Decisions

Understand the true cybersecurity risk before you commit — enabling informed decisions about valuation, deal terms, representations, warranties, and indemnification.

Avoid Inherited Liability

Identify undisclosed breaches, compliance gaps, and regulatory exposure before they become your problem post-acquisition.

Accurate Valuation

Factor cybersecurity technical debt and remediation costs into deal valuation — avoiding post-close budget surprises.

Integration Planning

Start integration planning with a clear picture of security gaps, incompatible architectures, and remediation priorities.

Investor Confidence

For PE and VC firms, security due diligence demonstrates governance maturity and protects portfolio value.

Risk-Based Terms

Use security findings to negotiate deal terms — escrow holdbacks, indemnification clauses, and remediation commitments based on identified risks.
