Protecting Your PortCos From Cyber Threats: The Importance of Cyber Diligence in M&A
Private equity (PE) firms are high-profile targets for cyber threats due to the sensitive data they manage and the high-value transactions they facilitate. A single breach can derail operations, compromise deal certainty, and hinder long-term value creation.
For Operating Partners conducting due diligence, ensuring portfolio companies meet industry compliance requirements (HIPAA for healthcare, PCI DSS for retail and finance) and maintain strong security controls is critical to PE goals such as safeguarding assets and securing successful exits.
Watch this webinar replay where Abacode, a leading Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) and GRC services provider, will explore how PE firms can strengthen their cybersecurity posture and meet compliance standards without breaking their bottom line.
