About CyberSweep
THE CIO Who Became the Solution
Led by cybersecurity and IT operations veterans, CyberSweep brings real-world M&A experience to every assessment—turning technical risk into financial intelligence.
Meet the Founder & CEO
Robert L. Flores
The Bridge Between Security and Operations
Robert is a seasoned CIO/CISO with 20+ years at leading private equity firms’ PortCos like KKR, Vista, Carlyle, and Thoma Bravo. He’s managed 13 major financial events and four exits, living firsthand the tension between airtight security and operational flexibility.
After a breach during a carve-out forced a $15M remediation under severe time pressure, Robert committed to ensuring no PE firm would face the same post-close surprise. His unique perspective as both a CISO and CIO drives CyberSweep’s mission: prevent hidden cyber risks from destroying value creation plans.
“We’re just home inspectors for M&A deals. You’d never buy a house without getting a detailed home inspection first—why would you buy a company without understanding its cyber risk first? It’s the same problem”
