Noetic for Mergers and Acquisitions

Despite the biggest threat in cybersecurity being the unknown, less than 10% of organizations audit potential partners during the M&A due diligence process.

Whether you’ve recently acquired a company, or planning to make a future investment, Noetic can help.

Putting Cyber Asset Visibility at the Heart of Mergers & Acquisitions

See how the unparalleled visibility of Noetic’s cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) platform empowers the Gamma security team to fuel continuous phases of growth.

Cybersecurity Challenges During the M&A Due Diligence Phase

Every potential warning sign missed during the M&A due diligence process becomes a shared responsibility between the associated security teams. The longer it takes to uncover these risks, the more vulnerable each organization becomes.

Incomplete Cybersecurity
Assessments

Pre-deal assessments barely skim the surface of an organization’s risk posture, and most organizations find unknown or undisclosed cybersecurity-related issues at some point during the acquisition.

Greater Risk of
Compromise

Without complete data or relevant business context across current and new assets, teams are not able to prioritize their focus on the most business critical systems.

Misaligned Teams, Tools,
and Environments

Whether it’s ambiguous roles or integrating new-age technologies with legacy ones, the M&A transition process can be overwhelming for security teams.

Continuous Controls Monitoring

The most dangerous threats to any business are the ones you don’t already know about. Noetic ensures nothing goes unaccounted for to better inform any decision throughout the M&A process.

Available workflows include:

  • Identifying and managing orphaned machines and shadow IT
  • Depreciating unused assets
  • Locating sensitive and unsecured datasets

Automated Evidence Collection

Manual risk assessments are time consuming, and often prone to errors.

Noetic’s intuitive dashboards empowers users to continuously demonstrate compliance, generate internal reports, and gather trend insights over time from within a single source of truth.

“As Gamma continues to grow internationally, it is critical that we have the right visibility into the effectiveness of our security controls across all parts of the business. We needed an overall view of cyber risk across the group, while supporting our regions with their specific needs for visibility and reporting across very different environments. The Noetic solution can deliver us this flexibility and is helping us to quantify our cyber risk across our entire cyber estate.”
