Secure M&A process with Business Software

One of the biggest hurdles of any M&A is integrating a significant number of new employees and getting them up and running with minimal disruption. Ineffective onboarding practices could result in lower productivity and lead to a high rate of turnover following M&A. It’s also vital for the acquirer to onboard the acquired workforce quickly so that they can reap the synergies from the deal.

During the M&A process, IT teams must integrate users from both systems in a timely manner without causing security vulnerabilities and compromising data integrity of the acquired company. The challenge is even greater when integrating workers from acquired companies who use their own devices or applications from third parties, such as cloud-based social media or cloud-based services.

Cybersecurity professionals must deal with these challenges by integrating into the M&A process from beginning to finish and ensuring they have visibility across every moving part. This includes the due diligence assessment and post-merger integration phases. It is important for CISOs approach M&A with a servant’s attitude and to present cybersecurity risks in a way that executive teams can understand. This involves not using technical jargon or using metrics executives can understand the impact on their finances or reputational damage.

Our M&A software solution helps you manage and monitor the M&A process by providing one dashboard that displays all the activities, targets, documents, emails, conversations and issues in real-time. The software can be customized to meet your specific needs by configuring lists, fields, and reports. In addition, we’ve integrated features such as two-factor authentication and audit logs that help you keep security controls and conform to policies.
