M&A Cybersecurity Due Diligence by VicByte in Australia
Reduce Risk, Protect Value, and Secure Every Deal
Mergers and acquisitions are high-stakes transactions—yet many deals overlook one of the biggest hidden risks: cybersecurity. At VicByte, our M&A Cybersecurity Due Diligence services help investors, acquirers, and advisors uncover potential cyber risks before they impact the value, reputation, or long-term success of the deal.
We work alongside your legal, financial, and technical teams to ensure the target company's cybersecurity posture is thoroughly assessed and understood—so you can move forward with confidence.
Why Cyber Due Diligence Matters
A single overlooked vulnerability can cost millions in legal liability, lost data, regulatory fines, or reputation damage. With VicByte, you can:
- Identify hidden cybersecurity issues in IT systems, processes, or data handling
- Evaluate compliance with regulations like GDPR, PCI DSS, or Australian Privacy Law
- Measure the maturity of the target's security practices and incident response plans
- Protect the value of the deal by avoiding costly post-acquisition surprises
What We Assess
Our cybersecurity due diligence services are tailored to each transaction, based on the industry, deal size, and digital complexity of the target. Common assessment areas include:
Infrastructure & Network Security
We review the strength of perimeter defences, access controls, segmentation, and vulnerability management.
Data Security & Privacy Compliance
We assess how personal, customer, and business-critical data is stored, protected, and governed—and whether the business is meeting relevant data protection laws.
Cloud and SaaS Security
We examine cloud architecture, configurations, and third-party platforms to ensure cloud risks are not inherited through the deal.
Security Governance & Policy Review
We evaluate whether the target has established, tested, and maintained proper cybersecurity policies, frameworks, and procedures.
Incident History & Response Capabilities
We look for signs of past breaches, policy violations, or investigations—and assess how prepared the organisation is to handle future incidents.
Cyber Insurance & Legal Exposure
We review cyber insurance coverage, indemnity clauses, and contractual obligations related to data security.
