How to ensure you are protected from Cybersecurity risks across your portfolio of companies.
In order to better protect their investment portfolio, Venture Capital firms need to ensure that their portfolio companies have been managing their cyber risks. Microbase offers services to help you protect your investments by performing cyber due diligence prior to the investment and assessing the information security maturity levels after investments.
We ensure you do not buy a Cybersecurity breach.Venture Capital companies need to assess cyber risks as part of the investment due diligence process to ensure that they are not acquiring a data breach. However, the lawyers conducting such diligence do not adequately understand the current cyber threat landscape or don’t understand the cybersecurity risks associated with the target company. We help fill in that gap by:
- Ask whether the portfolio company has experienced any prior cybersecurity incidents, including data breaches, and how it has responded to such incidents.
- Identify the privacy and cybersecurity risks the target company faces given its industry sector.
- Understand the network and system architecture and data flows, including the use of cloud providers and third-party applications.
- Assess the current information security maturity level and recommend a roadmap to mitigate the identified risks.
