Secure M&A process with Business Software
One of the biggest challenges of any M&A is integrating a significant number of new employees and getting them operational with minimal disruption. Ineffective onboarding can result in an increase in productivity and a high rate of turnover following an M&A.
During the M&A process, IT teams must integrate users from both systems in a streamlined way without introducing security holes and compromising data integrity of the acquired business. Onboarding acquired workers using their own devices or third-party apps, such as social media and cloud-based services is a difficult task.
Cybersecurity professionals need to address these challenges by integrating themselves into M&A processes from the beginning and making sure they have visibility over all moving components. This includes the post-merger integration phase as well as due diligence assessments. It's important for CISOs to approach M&A with a servant's attitude and communicate cybersecurity risks in a way that executives can understand. This involves not using technical jargon or using metrics executives can relate to, such as financial impact or reputational damage.
Our M&A software solution allows you to manage and monitor the M&A process with an integrated dashboard that shows all the activities, targets, emails, conversations, documents and issues in real time. You can tailor the software to your needs by configuring fields, lists, and reports. We've also integrated features such as two-factor authentication, audit logs and security controls to help you maintain conformity with security policies and controls.
