The Cyber Value-Creation Platform for Private Equity
Protect the investment. Strengthen the portfolio. Maximize the exit.
Most cybersecurity programs focus on preventing breaches. Portfolio Shield focuses on protecting and increasing enterprise value. Built exclusively for private equity investors, it turns cybersecurity from a technical function into a measurable value-creation initiative across every portfolio company.
Acquiring a company is only the beginning. During the hold period, portfolio companies face constant cyber threats that can disrupt operations, increase insurance costs, delay strategic initiatives, and erode valuation.
Without consistent oversight, cybersecurity becomes another unmanaged portfolio risk. Portfolio Shield gives investment teams continuous visibility, governance, and executive oversight across every portfolio company.
CyberSweep identifies hidden cyber liabilities during diligence and quantifies their financial impact through the Recommended Deal Adjustment™ (RDA), so teams can negotiate purchase-price adjustments, seller-funded remediation, escrow structures, and post-close investment plans.
Objective: Buy smarter.
After closing, Portfolio Shield works alongside management to strengthen cybersecurity across the organization:
Objective: Improve operational performance while reducing enterprise risk.
When it’s time to sell, Portfolio Shield helps make cyber diligence a competitive advantage rather than a transaction obstacle. Companies enter the market with mature governance, documented remediation history, lower operational risk, and greater buyer confidence.
Objective: Maximize exit value.
