SECURITY DUE DILIGENCE
Avoid Unexpected Risks – Conduct a Security Due Diligence
Today, cybersecurity is a central part of the M&A process. More and more acquiring companies have suffered significant losses due to breaches and lack of compliance at the companies they have acquired.
In many cases, these problems could have been avoided with thorough security due diligence — a step that is becoming increasingly critical in today’s threat landscape.
What Is Security Due Diligence?
In an M&A transaction, the acquiring company typically reviews finances, HR, supply chain, and technology. But a specific cybersecurity assessment is also needed — to identify risk areas that might otherwise be overlooked.
A security due diligence should cover:
IT infrastructure, networks, and data protection
Compliance with regulations such as GDPR and ISO 27001
Third-party vendors and subsidiaries
Internal security culture and processes
The goal is to uncover weaknesses and threats before the deal is signed — not after.
Why Is It Important?
Acquiring a company with hidden cybersecurity issues can lead to:
Compliance violations with heavy fines
Business interruptions caused by previous breaches
Expensive security measures needed after the fact
Damaged brand and lost trust
With the right insight at the right time, you gain a better basis for decision-making and more secure deals.
