Assess the security risk in an acquisition before you commit.
When acquiring a business, the financials get scrutinised in detail, but the information security risk is often overlooked. A poorly protected target can expose you to data protection failures, vulnerabilities, and reputational damage, problems that become yours the moment the deal completes. We provide an information security health check of the target, so you know exactly what you are taking on before you commit.
How well the target protects its information, whether it meets its data protection obligations, and what risks would transfer to you on acquisition. We identify the issues that matter, both technical and compliance-related, so there are no nasty surprises after completion.
From a focused review for smaller acquisitions through to in-depth assessment with ongoing support for larger, more complex transactions. For significant reviews, this can be delivered as a one-off project or through the appointment of a short-term Non-Executive Director, typically around 20 days, to drive the work.
The target's weaknesses become your liabilities. Understanding the information security position before you commit protects the value of the deal and shields you from inheriting avoidable risk.
Want to know if this is the right fit for your organisation? We will talk it through with you, with no obligation.
