Ensure your business partners are cyber-secure with expert due diligence
Comprehensive cyber due diligence is essential to ensure business security.
Are you exposed to danger? With our help, you’ll know whether the companies you merge with, acquire, buy from and collaborate with are cyber-compliant.
KPMG emphasises the importance of conducting cybersecurity due diligence before any merger or acquisition, as a significant number of organisations face the threat of insecurity from their suppliers and external partners. With the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, it is crucial to determine whether every company in your supply chain is cyber-secure.
Expert independent cyber due diligence is essential when your organisation has digital connections with third parties, whether it’s supply chain members, targets for mergers and acquisitions, or businesses you buy from. They all come with potential security risks, and self-disclosure isn’t good enough.
We’ll look deeper on your behalf, providing independent cyber diligence support to give you vital insight into whether the cyber security track record and status of companies are fit for purpose and don’t pose a threat.
Our pre-and post-transaction checks will find any cyber security lapses, pin down risky areas, and give you the insight you need to prove your dedication to data security, and keeping stakeholders and regulators happy.

How cyber security due diligence works
- Deep web checks
- Cyber risk assessment
- Penetration testing for vulnerabilities
- Identifying previous and ongoing attacker activity
We’ll carefully check the governance, processes and controls used to secure an organisation’s digital assets. Because no two organisations are the same, we tailor the service to your exact needs.
Our proven cyber due diligence process helps identify key cyber security vulnerabilities so you can make wise decisions about which organisations to work with, buy from, merge with or acquire. We dig deep to find unknown current and past breaches. Because we also look into a target organisation’s approach to managing breaches, disaster recovery, business continuity and regulatory compliance, you get a clear and comprehensive picture of their security status.
Harnessing the power of NIST
We use the NIST framework to carry out due diligence for our clients. It’s a set of voluntary guidelines from the National Institute of Standards and Technology designed to help manage and control cyber risks.
NIST contains three key components: the Core, Implementation Tiers, and Profiles. The Core element covers identification, protection, detection, response and recovery, giving us a clear strategic view of the way an organisation manages digital security. Implementation Tiers help us pin down levels of cybersecurity maturity and risk management. Building Profiles of where a business is now and where it wants to let us create a plan based on the Core findings.
