Cybersecurity Assessments in Mergers and Acquisition

nando — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 17:53:04 GMT

Dear community,

I would like your precious help with supportive documents and playbook, opinions and guideline about a M&A that is happening on my current company. I do work on a financial institution so the cybersecurity threat and assessment need to be done.
I’m struggling a little bit finding the right resources in order to create a document containing the strategy, cybersecurity risks, assessment and checklist for the merge until the finalization and future company.
Any help it is more than welcomed.

Kind Regards

@nando Apologies for leaving you in the /dev/null situation for the past couple of weeks.

I found an IBV Insights reports, which may hold some guidance for you.

Also googled around and asked : https://pages.sharevault.com/resources/checklists-21?_ga=2.163004159.271460557.1650891306-71729396.1647446454

Try these for starters.

@ElwynI would extend that slightly by stating the executive board and the Shareholders responsible for the fiduciary health of the organisation.

In my previous role, I had to write this up from scratch. Most of my work dealt with technical elements, so naturally there's a lot of networking, ERP, defense strategies, and strategies to upgrade and homogenize to a uniform network. Therefore, there's not a lot of GRC strategy in my documents.

I'll find them tonight, sanitize them, and send you a DM copy of what I used. maybe it could help.

Hi @ericgeater,

Wondering if you still had quick access to these.

You are very kind to have been willing to sanitize and share.

Hi All

In terms of Mergers & Acquisitions, I noticed this question was floating about since 2022.

So rather than do the traditional method of researching, I used Claude AI to do the arms and legs to create a document on what needs to be done for handling a merger & acquisition within a financial institution. Warts and all, it is a starting point, others can embellish it as they wish.

Hope it is a good starting point, and others will embellish and supplement it subsequently.
