Know the cyber risk before the deal closes.
Hidden security gaps can affect deal value; due diligence gives you documented risk visibility.
Unknown access creates risk; identity and permission reviews show who can reach critical systems.
Weak backups can threaten continuity; recovery checks confirm whether systems are actually restorable.
Compliance gaps can delay integration; NIST and CMMC-aligned reviews clarify readiness risks.
Post-close surprises are costly; practical remediation planning helps prioritize fixes before disruption.
Clear communication, documented findings, and practical risk reduction.
M&A cyber due diligence starts with a structured review of the target company’s current security posture. Shield Logic looks for practical risks that can affect valuation, continuity, and post-close operations, including outdated systems, weak controls, missing monitoring, and unclear ownership.
You receive documented findings that explain what matters, why it matters, and what should be addressed before or after the transaction.
Uncontrolled access is one of the fastest ways for risk to carry into an acquisition. Shield Logic reviews user accounts, administrative privileges, remote access, identity controls, and permission structures to identify where access is excessive, stale, or poorly managed.
The result is a clearer view of who can reach critical systems, where cleanup is needed, and what access controls should be prioritized during integration.
Connected systems, cloud platforms, and endpoints often carry hidden exposure during a transaction. Shield Logic reviews core configurations, endpoint protection, patching practices, Microsoft 365 security settings, and common misconfigurations that may create business risk.
This helps you understand whether the environment is stable, monitored, and secure enough to support the deal or whether remediation should be planned into the transition.
A target company may say backups are in place, but that does not mean the environment is recoverable. Shield Logic reviews backup coverage, retention, restore practices, disaster recovery planning, and gaps that could affect business continuity after close.
You gain practical insight into whether critical systems and data can be restored if something goes wrong, reducing the chance of expensive downtime surprises.
For compliance-conscious acquisitions, security documentation matters. Shield Logic reviews policies, controls, audit readiness, NIST and CMMC alignment where relevant, and evidence that security practices are actually being followed.
This does not guarantee compliance or certification, but it gives decision-makers a clearer understanding of gaps, documentation issues, and the work needed to improve readiness.
Cyber findings are most useful when they lead to a workable plan. Shield Logic turns assessment results into a prioritized remediation and integration roadmap based on risk, cost, complexity, and business impact.
You get clear next steps for stabilizing systems, improving monitoring, tightening access, strengthening backups, and reducing repeat problems as the acquired environment is brought under better control.

Cyber due diligence gives you a clearer view of what you are buying. Shield Logic reviews the target environment for security gaps, access issues, backup weaknesses, compliance concerns, and operational risks that may not appear in financial or legal reviews.
You get practical findings, clear documentation, and a risk-based roadmap that supports better deal decisions, cleaner integration planning, and fewer avoidable surprises after close.
Focused review of the areas that affect business continuity:
Get clear risk insight before cyber issues affect deal value.
Due diligence should not stop at identifying problems. A useful review connects technical findings to business impact, including downtime risk, remediation cost, compliance exposure, and integration complexity.
Shield Logic provides clear communication about risks, solutions, and costs so leadership, finance, legal, and IT teams can make decisions with better information.
An m&a cyber due diligence assessment covers the areas that matter most to your deal. You receive a detailed review of security controls, user access, backup and disaster recovery readiness, network segmentation, and compliance documentation. This helps you identify hidden risks that could impact integration, business continuity, or regulatory requirements. All findings are delivered in clear, actionable reports, so you know exactly where exposure exists before closing.
M&a cyber due diligence protects deal value by revealing security gaps or operational risks that could lead to costly surprises after closing. By understanding these risks early, you can:
This process helps you make confident decisions and supports smoother post-close integration.
The process starts with an initial consultation to define your goals and key areas of concern. A technical team then performs a structured assessment, including remote and on-site reviews of systems, access, backups, and policies. You receive a documented risk analysis with practical recommendations, and follow-up conversations ensure you understand findings and next steps. The focus is always on clear communication and actionable insight, not just technical jargon.
A typical m&a cyber due diligence engagement can be completed in one to three weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the target environment. Most small to mid-sized business reviews are finished within this timeframe, ensuring you get timely results before critical deal milestones. If urgent timelines are required, assessments can often be expedited to meet your needs.
This approach builds security into every step, focusing on proactive risk detection and practical business outcomes rather than just checklists. You benefit from:
The goal is to provide confidence and continuity, so you can focus on the value of your deal, not hidden IT risks.
