Focused on IT and Cybersecurity, SmartSource’s dedicated due diligence team identifies, grades, and provides consultation in all areas associated with an acquisition’s IT footprint and security to help minimize risk and optimize portfolio value. Our automated approach to data collection limits sell-side involvement while providing the analysis required for buy-side companies to make short- and long-term IT and cybersecurity decisions.

Our team, who brings a wealth of industry expertise along with strong network relationships, will:

• Assess the organization, ownership, and IT operations
• Identify regulatory and compliance issues
• Perform software and hardware assessments
• Identify how sensitive data is managed and protected
• Demonstrate short- and long-term financial risks associated with security breaches
• Provide remediation strategies for identified vulnerabilities
• Recognize synergies and cost savings
• Provide security information and privacy advisory
• Develop an IT roadmap
• Post-due diligence vulnerability remediation
• Compliance adherence
• Lower cyber liability premiums

In addition to assisting with the operations leading up to and through acquisition, our team also provides post-transaction advisory services to ensure a successful transition and help maximize your return on investment.
