When you are conducting due diligence for an investment or acquisition most of the focus historically has been on the business risks – sustainable revenue, profit potential, operating risks and the like. Little time is generally spent on the IT and software infrastructure or the security of the underlying data that makes the business run.
The risk of breach by bad actors has steadily increased and creates the need to make sure your corporate investment is protected from a technical standpoint prior to closing on the transaction. With most companies’ critical data located in one location, it is easier for hackers to gain access and stay within a network undetected for months, if not years – being ready to strike when the time is right.
Consider these key statistics:
- 43% of cyberattacks specifically target early-stage companies.*
- $4.24M is the average total cost of a data breach.*
- 60% of small businesses shut down within six months of a data breach.*
At BNC, our mission is to guide you efficiently through these challenges with clear, actionable IT and cybersecurity insights—so you can invest without fear of hidden technical pitfalls. Then we can provide guidance on how to protect your investment moving forward, keeping the infrastructure in compliance.
