Solution
Every acquisition brings inherited exposure. Understand the external attack surface of a target or subsidiary — before, during and after the deal.
Definition
When you acquire a company, you acquire its internet-facing assets, vulnerabilities and exposures — often undocumented and unmanaged. M&A and subsidiary risk assessment gives you an attacker’s-eye view of a target’s external footprint without needing internal access, so you can quantify cyber risk during due diligence and rapidly fold acquired assets into your security programme afterward. The same approach keeps sprawling subsidiary estates visible.
Why it matters
Financial and legal due diligence is routine; cyber due diligence often isn’t. Yet acquired infrastructure is a common breach origin. External assessment quantifies that risk early and shortens the time to bring new assets under control.
What we assess
The internet-facing infrastructure you’re acquiring.
Brands and domains across complex org structures.
Open ports, panels and databases left reachable.
Unpatched and exploitable weaknesses.
Exposed logins tied to the target or subsidiary.
A clear, comparable view of external cyber risk.
How it works
Identify the entity’s brands, domains and footprint.
Map its external assets from the outside in, no access needed.
Quantify vulnerabilities, exposures and leaked data.
Fold assets into continuous monitoring post-close.

FAQ
Yes. External assessment works from the attacker’s perspective and needs no internal access to begin quantifying exposure.
During due diligence to quantify risk, and again post-close to bring assets under continuous monitoring.
Yes. We attribute assets across complex org structures so subsidiary exposure isn’t missed.
As a clear, comparable view of external cyber risk suitable for deal teams and security leaders.
