Cyber Due Diligence for M&A and Private Equity
99.9%
Threat detection and prevention rate
DealShield™ supports private equity, strategic acquirers, and infrastructure funds across the full deal cycle — from pre-LOI red-flag screening, through confirmatory diligence, into Day-1 cutover and the Day-100 integration plan. The objective is not an audit. The objective is a deal that closes at the right price, with the right reps and warranties, and an integration that doesn’t lose value in month four.
Coverage across the deal cycle
- Pre-LOI (5-business-day red-flag scan). External attack-surface assessment, known-breach history, regulatory flag check, and an early view on whether deeper diligence is warranted.
- Confirmatory diligence (3–6 weeks). Full cyber and OT posture assessment with quantified exposure.
- SPA support. Drafting input for cyber-specific reps, warranties, indemnities, and escrow sizing.
- Day-1 and Day-100 integration planning. Signed remediation plan, owner-assigned, with capex and opex separated
Key Assessment Areas
- Enterprise IT and OT security architecture and control maturity
- Historical breach, ransomware, and data-loss exposure (disclosed and reconstructed)
- Regulatory compliance posture: IEC 62443, ISO 27001, NIS2, EU CRA, GDPR, sector frameworks (FINMA, BaFin, OFAC)
- Third-party, supply-chain, and software-bill-of-materials risk
- Identity, privileged access, and administrative boundary maturity
- Carve-out readiness — what the target actually owns versus what it shares with the parent
