Everything you need to know about cybersecurity Due Diligence
Cybersecurity due diligence is a specialized assessment that evaluates a target company's security posture, data protection practices, and compliance status to identify risks that could impact valuation or create post-acquisition liabilities. It's critical because security breaches can result in significant financial losses, regulatory penalties, intellectual property theft, and reputational damage that affect investment returns.
While IT due diligence typically focuses on technology infrastructure, staffing, and operational capabilities, cybersecurity due diligence specifically examines security controls, threat vulnerabilities, incident response capabilities, and compliance status. This specialized assessment identifies security risks that standard IT evaluations often miss, particularly in areas of data protection and third-party security.
Cybersecurity due diligence should ideally begin early in the transaction process, running parallel to commercial and financial assessments. Early involvement allows security findings to inform valuation models and negotiation strategies, while providing sufficient time to address critical vulnerabilities before closing.
Common findings include inadequate data protection controls, insufficient security monitoring capabilities, compliance gaps with relevant regulations, weak identity management practices, vulnerable legacy systems, and poor third-party security oversight. OMMAX's assessment identifies these issues early, enabling appropriate transaction adjustments.
