Security is one of the first things a buyer probes and one of the easiest things for a business to misjudge about itself. A cyber assessment gives you an honest, independent view of your posture and maturity, whether you are heading into a transaction or simply want to understand your exposure and act on it.
In a deal, or on its own
Within a due diligence process, the assessment feeds the wider technology view and gives investors confidence that risk has been looked at properly. Outside a deal, it works as a standalone health check for a board or leadership team that wants a clear-eyed baseline rather than a false sense of comfort.
What we assess
- Governance, ownership and how security decisions actually get made.
- Identity and access, including privileged access and joiner and leaver hygiene.
- Infrastructure and cloud configuration, and the exposure that comes with it.
- Application security and how it is built into the development process.
- Data protection, handling and retention.
- Monitoring, detection and how the team would respond to an incident.
- Third-party and supply-chain risk.
- Resilience, backups and the ability to recover.
Maturity, not just a list of findings
A long list of issues helps no one. We describe how mature your controls are for a business of your size and stage, separate what is genuinely material from what is noise, and explain the exposure in terms a board can act on. The point is a fair picture, not a scare.
A practical remediation roadmap
You leave with a prioritised roadmap that sets out what to fix now, what to plan for, and roughly what each step involves in cost, time and ownership. That gives you something to act on internally, and something credible to show a buyer or an insurer if a transaction follows.
Security is also a standard workstream within our vendor due diligence and technical due diligence .
