SITUATION
A private equity firm was preparing a bid for the acquisition of a pharmaceutical transportation business. In order to determine whether to proceed with the bid, FTI Consulting’s Cybersecurity and Corporate Finance teams were asked to perform a red-flag due diligence exercise focusing on the target’s IT operations and their cybersecurity posture.
OUR ROLE
FTI Cybersecurity reviewed security-related documentation provided by the target. After a thorough assessment of this documentation, an interview with the target’s Head of Information Security was conducted to ascertain further details as they were required. In addition, an external exposure assessment and dark web analysis were carried out to analyze the target’s digital footprint and assess potential risk. Following these investigations, a comprehensive report was produced to clearly present the team’s findings.
OUR IMPACT
The private equity firm used this report to inform their decision to ultimately proceed with the bid and made special note of their appreciation of FTI Consulting’s investigative depth and professional conduct.
