At FTI Cybersecurity, we recognize that every investment and transaction is unique and so are the corresponding cybersecurity risks.
We work in partnership with our private equity clients to translate these risks into actionable and intelligence-based insights, providing answers to difficult questions and helping build, maintain and enhance the resilience of their firms and portfolio companies across the deal lifecycle.
Our mission is to help you bolster cybersecurity protections and maximize opportunities offered by your prospective and existing investments. We offer best-in-class services to the investor community worldwide – even in time-sensitive transaction scenarios – through our experts’ decades of experience in private equity, the global reach of our practice, and our tailored approach to the identification and management of transaction and portfolio cybersecurity risk.
The Importance of Cybersecurity for Private Equity
“Not only is it important to include strong cybersecurity diligence in the pre-close process, but you need to think about cybersecurity programs once you own a portfolio company.”
– David Dunn, Head of Cybersecurity, EMEA & APAC
How We Can Help: Our Services
Regardless of where our clients are in the investment lifecycle, FTI Cybersecurity provides expert-led, intelligence-driven services to provide assurance and insight where they are most needed.
Pre-Deal and Transaction Support: We recognize that the pre-close process is a fact-finding mission with the question of risk and corresponding deal value at its core. We will work with you throughout the entirety of the transaction period to ensure that you have the information needed to make risk-based and fully informed investment and deal decisions.
We offer the following services, with execution and delivery tailored to the parameters and dynamics of your transaction:
- Buy-Side/Sell-Side Cybersecurity Due Diligence
- Digital Footprinting
- Dark Web Intelligence Assessments
- Penetration Testing
- Merger Integration Strategy
- Carve-out Strategy and Implementation Planning
- Cybersecurity Transformation and Advisory Services
- IPO Readiness
Our strength lies in the fact that we speak the language of private equity. The output of our services are jargon-free reports and presentations that can be understood and leveraged by technical and non-technical personnel alike empowering investors to make critical decisions.
Post-Deal Services for PE Firms & their Portfolios: Cybersecurity risk does not dissipate with deal close. Managing cybersecurity risk post-close is essential for the secure growth and retained value of the portfolio company and for protecting the investing party.
To this end, we deliver the following for the private equity community:
- Portfolio Company Cybersecurity Assessment Program (PCCAPs)
- Standalone Cybersecurity Assessments
- Digital Footprinting
- Application Security Assessments
- Penetration Testing
- Incident Response Services
- Incident Response Retainer Services
- Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) Services
These services – particularly the PCCAPs, which have been proven to reduce cyber risk and increase cyber maturity year-on-year – allow our private equity partners to track cybersecurity risk across their investments and work at the individual portfolio company level to address identified gaps.
In combination with intelligence generated by the other services outlined above, risk-based financial decisions can be made to further bolster the cybersecurity posture of the portfolio and enhance the operational resilience capabilities of the companies within it. Additionally, our 24/7 incident response services mean that you are never without expert support in a worst-case incident scenario.
