Private equity & family offices
An effective approach to cyber risks
Private Equity firms and Family Offices are becoming increasingly vulnerable when it comes to cyber crime. If your company or one of your portfolio companies has been hacked, this can be very expensive and above all damaging to the reputation of the entire company, with enormous consequences.
If your business would be hit by a ransomware attack, would you know what to do? For the majority, the answer is 'no'.
Most employees travel regularly and have access to important financial and confidential information. The balance between efficiency and security can be tricky, but protecting your business and valuable data should be an existential priority. That's why we advise you to take the right measures through a pragmatic approach so that your cyber risks become manageable. Through our assessments, we will 'run your entire digital landscape through the mill' so that all weaknesses and risks are mapped out. Subsequently, the required actions are recorded and, if desired, we can completely unburden you by also providing the necessary operational services.
M&A
In this phase, we offer a pragmatic assessment in which we provide insight into the possible cyber risks, expected costs and any 'red flags' within a very short time frame.
After the 'closing', we carry out an extensive cyber security investigation and then draw up an action plan. If desired, we can also perform all operational tasks through the 24/7 Managed Security Services of Cybermeister.
A merge or a carve-out can entail major cyber security risks. After all, when changes are made to IT and OT (e.g. manufacturing) environments, mistakes, especially in the field of cyber security, are quickly made. Our cyber security experts have the right knowledge and skills to give hands-on support during the entire process and to ensure a secure integration or 'carve-out'.
During the sales phase of a company, we can use our pragmatic assessments and reports to give the buying party a clear insight into cybersecurity and the presence and effectiveness of cyber security measures taken.
