Cybersecurity as a dedicated discipline in your transaction review. Qualified assessment, clear recommendations, reliable decision basis.
Request Cyber Due DiligenceCybersecurity in M&A transactions is not a downstream IT question. It is a dedicated due diligence workstream alongside Financial, Legal, and Tax. Undetected vulnerabilities in the target can cause data breaches, compliance violations, and significant follow-up costs after closing. In the worst case, they jeopardize the entire transaction.
Cybervize delivers exactly this discipline: An independent, experience-based assessment of your target's IT security posture. Conducted by an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, CISA, and BSI Grundschutz Auditor with 25 years of experience in cybersecurity and strategic advisory. The report gives you a qualified opinion, prioritized recommendations, and a clear assessment: What is a deal-blocker, what needs immediate attention post-closing, and where is the investment required.
After closing: Our Interim CISO can take over implementation of identified measures, stabilize the acquired company's IT security, and manage post-merger integration.
Interim CISOIndependent expert assessment: A qualified, experience-based evaluation of the target's IT security posture. Not an automated scan, but thorough analysis by an experienced auditor.
Deal-relevant contextualization: Every finding is assessed in the M&A context. Is it a potential deal-blocker? Does it require immediate action post-closing? Or is it a long-term optimization? You get a decision basis, not just a deficiency list.
Prioritized recommendations: Concrete, actionable measures with clear timelines. From immediate pre-closing actions to strategic improvements in the first 12 months.
Risk identification with depth: Not just technical vulnerabilities, but also organizational gaps, IT service provider dependencies, license transfer risks, missing contingency plans, and compliance gaps (NIS-2, GDPR, industry-specific requirements).
Visually clear results: Reports with traffic light systems, spider charts, and executive summaries that integrate directly into your investment documentation.
Scalable for portfolio mandates: Standardized process delivering reproducible results across the entire portfolio. For investors and corporate groups with high transaction frequency.
Scoping & Engagement: Joint definition of assessment scope and framework. Assessments per ISO 27001/27002, BSI IT-Grundschutz, DIN SPEC 27076, or your own investment framework.
Document Analysis: Review of IT policies, service provider contracts, SLAs, security documentation, and existing audit reports via the virtual data room.
Interviews & Expert Calls: Structured conversations with IT management, IT service providers, and where needed, target management. This reveals how security is actually practiced.
Analysis & Assessment: Consolidation of all findings, evaluation in M&A context (deal-blockers, immediate measures, medium-term needs), and quantification of investment requirements.
Report & Recommendation: Qualified report with overall assessment, prioritized recommendations, and a clear opinion on the target's cyber risk situation.
Presentation & Handover: Results presentation for your M&A team, investment committee, or board. Answering follow-up questions, integration into transaction documentation.
Three service tiers, DIN SPEC 27076, results in 5–15 business days. For individual deals or ongoing portfolio mandates.
