CyberSecurity Due Diligence
Intelligence Driven Cyber Security Operations
Why Cybersecurity Due Diligence is Important ?
Cybersecurity due diligence is a thorough assessment conducted by organizations to evaluate the security posture and cybersecurity risks of potential third-party vendors or partners before entering into a business relationship. Its goal is to ensure that the third party has appropriate security measures in place to safeguard sensitive information, maintain data confidentiality, integrity, availability, and comply with relevant regulations and industry standards. This process is especially crucial when dealing with vendors who might have access to critical systems, data, or infrastructure.
Certcube Labs’ cyber due diligence services offer valuable insights into the security of target companies, empowering organizations to make well-informed M&A decisions with a focus on cybersecurity. The services include identifying existing cybersecurity lapses, assessing potential at-risk areas, and quantifying remediation costs if necessary. This helps organizations make strategic decisions with a clear understanding of potential risks and liabilities associated with the acquisition.
Certcube Labs goes beyond standard assessments and identifies material cyber-related weaknesses that may pose risks, fines, or costly remediation efforts post-transaction. They assess information security risks, governance, operational procedures, and technology to provide a comprehensive view of the target’s cybersecurity landscape.
