Mergers and acquisitions can expose organizations to new risk scenarios. A cyber due diligence process that includes Cyber Risk Quantification can provide insights into the financial impact of acquiring a new company during the merger process. Post-merger, it can help identify gaps in controls that need to be implemented as new digital assets are added and new systems are brought online.
Mergers and acquisitions can expose acquiring companies to new risk scenarios they've never seen before. Due diligence is a critical step to a successful M&A - this includes assessing the digital assets and cybersecurity maturity of the company being acquired.
CRQ can provide the financial data needed to make accurate purchase decisions and price negotiations. It can also provide insights on how to implement controls to mitigate risk when new digital asset types introduce new risk scenarios.
In this video, Christophe Forêt, co-founder of C-Risk, explains how CRQ is the key to a successful M&A deal.
