Deal teams in active diligence
A target is moving through diligence and cyber risk needs a technical answer before close, not after.
Cyber diligence for private equity
Cyber diligence at deal pace, for firms that cannot slow down to get it.
Most middle market deal teams now run QoE, legal, and HR diligence as a matter of course. Cyber diligence is still not a standard workstream at many middle market PE firms, which means the risk is often identified after close, not before.

What we do
Two problems, one team.
Deal-stage diligence. We run technical cyber diligence on target companies in 7 to 14 days, timed to your deal clock. Findings are translated into dollar exposure and deal term implications, not a framework checklist.
Hold-period portfolio security. We run a standardized security baseline across portfolio companies during the hold period, so exposure does not surface as a surprise at exit.
Our team includes former Stroz Friedberg and Kroll professionals.
How it works
A deal-paced process, not an audit engagement.
- 01Scope the target
We confirm systems, data sensitivity, and deal timeline so the assessment fits the transaction clock, not a generic audit cycle.
- 02Run technical diligence
Our team, including former Stroz Friedberg and Kroll professionals, performs the technical assessment directly. Typical turnaround is 7 to 14 days.
- 03Translate findings to deal terms
Findings are framed as dollar exposure and deal term implications so your deal team can act on them, not a compliance checklist to file away.
- 04Carry it into the hold period
For active portfolios, we can apply a standardized security baseline across portfolio companies so risk is managed continuously, not rediscovered at exit.
Who this is for
Deal teams and portfolio operators working on a real timeline.
Portfolio operators
Portfolio companies vary in security maturity and there is no standardized way to baseline them across the hold period.
Firms preparing for exit
An upcoming sale process means buyer diligence will surface whatever has not already been addressed.
Questions
What deal teams usually ask.
How is this different from a standard security audit?
A standard audit produces a framework checklist. Our diligence work is scoped to your deal timeline and delivers findings as dollar exposure and deal term implications, so the deal team can act on them directly.
How fast can an assessment run?
Typical technical cyber diligence on a target company runs 7 to 14 days, depending on system count, data sensitivity, and access. We scope timing with your deal team before starting.
Who performs the work?
Our team includes former Stroz Friedberg and Kroll professionals performing the technical assessment directly, not an outsourced or purely automated scan.
Can you support the full portfolio, not just one deal?
Yes. For firms with active hold-period portfolios, we can run a standardized security baseline across portfolio companies so exposure is tracked continuously instead of surfacing as a surprise at exit.
What does this cost?
Scope and pricing depend on target complexity, timeline, and whether the engagement covers a single deal or an ongoing portfolio program. We will size this on a short call before proposing scope.
