Considering a Merger or Acquisition? Build Cyber Diligence into Your Target Assessment
|
In today's digital economy, executives rely heavily on information systems and data stored within those systems to operate their business and make sound corporate decisions. Organizations are dependent on IT assets to create, use, communicate, and store critical and sensitive information, including generating financial statements. Such increased dependence on IT assets and information in electronic form increases an organization's susceptibility to cybersecurity threats - leaving a business vulnerable to major harm to both its operations and stakeholders in the event of a security breach.
For companies seeking a merger or acquisition, the primary goal of due diligence has traditionally been to investigate the target of an M&A transaction to gain a deeper understanding of the target's business operations, its financial condition, assets, liabilities, and overall health of the business. However, the heightened reliance on networked infrastructure, systems, and use of emerging technologies adds a necessary layer to the due diligence process - cyber diligence. Also referred to as cybersecurity due diligence, cyber diligence is rapidly becoming an essential component of the overall review process.
The heightened reliance on IT assets and their equal vulnerability to a cybersecurity breach calls for a necessary new component to the due diligence process when preparing for an M&A transaction. Uncovering a target company's cyber vulnerabilities, the scope of damage that could occur - or has already occurred - as well as evaluating existing cyber defenses implemented by the target company could meaningfully impact how an acquirer values and structures a deal. A successful cyber diligence strategy should be scaled based on the nature, size, and complexity of the acquiring and target companies involved in the transaction.

As we all know, business networking can be intimidating. What do you say to someone whom you've never met before? Often, our first instinct is to talk about ourselves and our company, and the benefits we can offer new customers. However, I've found that the more effective approach to a potential new business associate or customer at a business event is to ask about them - their families, their personal and/or sports interests, and their businesses. When you do this, they almost always will relax their guard and talk more freely with you, which may allow you to talk about your business and how it may help them. Remember - "It's all about them, not you!"
