M&A Cyber Due Diligence Assessment

Growing your organization does not have to mean increasing the cyber risk to your business. When merging with, acquiring, or making an investment in a company, organizations not only prioritize value realization but also seek to identify cyber risk that can result in unnecessary financial, legal and reputational costs.

Sygnia’s team of senior cyber security consultants is focused on protecting your investment. Your organization needs to evaluate the target company’s overall cyber security posture beyond traditional financial due diligence. Our cyber security experts will work with you pre- and post-deal to discover and mitigate threats, providing the insights and recommendations you need to make sound business decisions and manage cyber risk.

The Sygnia way

Our approach to M&A cyber due diligence

Understanding your target company’s cyber security posture is key to securing your environment. Whether exploring an acquisition, negotiating investment deal terms, or integrating companies post-close, organizations should enter into M&A transactions fully confident that they have identified and prioritized security gaps that could be exploited by a malicious threat actor.

Sygnia’s M&A Cyber Due Diligence Assessment is designed to provide you with the peace of mind needed to move forward with assuredness in your investment.

Our approach to M&A cyber due diligence

Posture evaluation

We rapidly assess the target organization’s corporate IT infrastructure to identify critical gaps and opportunities for high impact improvements. We cover core capabilities across key security pillars, including infrastructure and system security, network infrastructure security, identity and access management, security governance, and response readiness.

For in-depth exploration, a Compromise Assessment can be performed by Sygnia’s elite team to expose and neutralize dormant and active threats in the target company’s network and provide an additional level of confidence.

Adversarial simulations

Our dynamic internal and external assessment, a combination of technology and human expertise, rapidly establishes a clear understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in your target company’s security environment. Our activities include reconnaissance of the dark web, evaluating the target company’s network attack surface, and a series of attack simulations.

Prioritized recommendations

After evaluating the target company’s cyber security posture, we provide a set of recommendations and an integration plan that prioritize risk and investment.
