How Cyscale supports M&A Due Diligence security programs
Assess target cloud exposure quickly
Map misconfigurations, identity risk, and exploitable software findings across the target cloud estate and engineering stack.
Validate compliance posture before close
Review control maturity and remediation history tied to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, NIST, and buyer-specific requirements.
Plan integration with risk context
Prioritize post-close remediation by blast radius so security, platform, and leadership teams can execute a focused integration roadmap.
Security playbooks teams run with Cyscale
Modeled after high-performing cloud security programs, these are the workflows teams execute continuously to keep risk under control.
- Rapidly baseline the target cloud posture across accounts, identities, workloads, and repositories.
- Prioritize findings by exposure and blast radius to separate material risk from low-impact noise.
- Produce due diligence and integration reports that security leadership, legal, and board stakeholders can use.
What M&A security due diligence teams care about right now
Control maturity uncertainty
Buyers need evidence of real control operation, not static policy documents, before final investment decisions.
Time-constrained diligence cycles
Security teams must produce a defensible view of target risk quickly without sacrificing technical depth.
Post-close integration planning
High-risk findings need remediation sequencing that aligns with Day-1 operations and integration milestones.
Coverage from code to cloud runtime
Cyscale Platform extends beyond posture checks and covers the software and workload security chain end to end.
- SBOM-based vulnerability scanning across virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, Docker images, Git repositories, and cloud functions
- Scanning jobs executed in short-lived Docker containers to reduce scanner persistence and operational footprint
- Coverage across SCA, SAST, IaC security checks, secret detection, malware signals, and outdated software/packages
- Cloud context enrichment to prioritize findings by exposure, identity reachability, and likely blast radius
Compliance and governance context for M&A Due Diligence
Map cloud findings to the frameworks your teams and customers care about. Cyscale helps security and compliance teams track status continuously instead of preparing only for periodic audits.
Expected outcomes
- Faster technical due diligence cycles with concrete risk evidence
- Clearer valuation and integration risk conversations with stakeholders
- Higher confidence in post-acquisition security baselines
M&A Due Diligence teams trust Cyscale
They trust Cyscale to assess target cloud risk, validate security posture for acquisitions, and prioritize remediation before and after close.
