CYBER IS PART OF THE INVESTMENT DECISION

You diligence the financials.
Cyber belongs in the same decision.

A company can be financially sound and commercially attractive while carrying cyber exposure, dependencies, and remediation obligations the buyer will inherit after close.

BEFORE CLOSE

Can you answer these today?

Before capital is committed, the investment team should understand the cyber exposure ownership may inherit.

Who can control the company’s most critical systems?

Which third parties can reach sensitive data or infrastructure?

Can critical systems actually be recovered when needed?

What security debt will ownership inherit?

What may require funding, sequencing, or attention after close?

BEFORE CAPITAL IS COMMITTED

What could you inherit
with the investment?

Look past the control checklist. Understand the exposures that can change what ownership requires.

What you don’t uncover before close, you may inherit after it.
