Evaluate Merger
& Acquisition Risk

Early insight into IT security risk for your merger and acquisition candidates.

The CyCognito platform gives you immediate visibility into the risk posture of the targets you are evaluating for merger and acquisition (M&A). Full organizational business mapping, a complete asset inventory, and accurate risk scoring provide the visibility you need to make informedĀ decisions.

As organizations seek to merge and/or acquire other organizations, cybersecurity due diligence has become a staple in the process. Scorecard services are well-known to provide low-value information and unvalidated assessments. Pen tests are costly and impractical for evaluation purposes.

How We Help

Know the Risk Before You Buy

No longer base your M&A risk decisions on incomplete or incorrect information. Common M&A challenges include accuracy in security posture assessment, timely access to information, and lack of risk exposure insideĀ subsidiaries.

With CyCognito, you have instant access to your M&A candidate's external attack surface and which assets pose the most risk. It identifies the effectiveness of its security controls without requiring any deployment orĀ configuration.

Identify critical external risk exposures

Identify critical external risk exposures

It is unlikely that two organizations have the same security technology stack and practices in place.

CyCognito provides high-confidence insight into risk that allows you to plan for the upcoming event as early as possible around areas such as tool consolidation, testing schedules, and team focus.

Understand what you are acquiring

Understand what you are acquiring

CyCognito builds the business structure map of your target organization, allowing you to verify your knowledge of all associated entities and their risk profile.

The per-business unit security score enables a quick comparison, allowing you to zero in on problem areas rapidly. Misalignments can be tackled quickly and with facts, not estimates.

Turn findings into remediation action

Turn findings into remediation action

Clear remediation steps, with evidence, allow you to proactively communicate issues in the candidateā€™s environment.

This includes details on potential impact and supporting evidence. Every asset has attribution information attached as context so that you know the business unit that owns it. Clear remediation steps are included for each issue to understand the effort and estimate costs.

Make confident M&A security decisions

Make confident M&A security decisions

Know that you have the risk insight you need to make a data-backed decision.

CyCognito provides you with the full external attack surface, asset context, asset attribution, security test results, and a remediation planner to assist your planning efforts. And once the M&A event has been completed you can continue to track the assets under your new parent organization.
