This assessment aids the seller of the business in the identification of shortcomings which could be obvious to a buyer, resulting in buyer hesitancy, deal failure, costly urgent fixes, or reduction in price.
The seller answers a collection of questions; providing an understanding of the business and its reliance on IT infrastructure. This information is analyzed and a report is provided to the seller. The report identifies cybersecurity and business resilience practices which could:
Enhance the value of the business and provide assurance and peace-of-mind to the buyer.
Be identified as shortcomings by the buyer.
These shortcomings could result in costly “last-minute” corrective actions on part of seller, the buyer’s hesitancy or failure to complete the purchase, or the buyer requesting concessions from the seller.
