Don't let cyber risk derail your investments
Investment Peace of Mind
We give you peace of mind that your investment thesis and value creation plan will not be derailed by unforeseen cybersecurity incidents. Don't wait until after the deal is done. Handle cyber risks before you close, when you still have leverage to act.
The Problem
Traditional cybersecurity due diligence is broken. Most firms still treat it as a compliance checkbox reviewing paperwork and audit reports that don’t reflect real-world risk.
Meanwhile, attackers actively monitor deal activity, targeting acquisition candidates months before closing, planting ransomware and waiting for the handoff.
When risks are found, deal teams are left with dense, highly technical reports that don’t answer the only questions that matter:
How much is this going to cost us
What’s the impact on valuation
What do we need to do right now?
The Solution
CyberSweep translates cybersecurity risk into financial impact. Instead of check-the-box audits, we perform a real-world inspection of the target’s security posture, dark web scans, vulnerability testing, penetration exercises, and insurance readiness.
Our proprietary model converts those findings into clear, dollar-based terms:
Recommended Deal Adjustment (RDA) financial leverage you can use at the deal table.
Insurance Alignment
the data carriers need to right-size coverage.Remediation Roadmaps – prioritized fixes that protect value post-close.
With CyberSweep, deal teams no longer get buried in technical jargon. They get actionable insight, expressed in the language that matters most—dollars and cents.
