Cyber Due Diligence Reinvented
Cyber due diligence must expose real, exploitable risks early enough to influence valuation and deal strategy. Active Focus provides continuous, attacker‑centric visibility into external exposure, delivering validated findings that support informed decisions, accurate risk pricing, and protection of value both before and after closing. It reveals true exposure - not theoretical risk - reduces reliance on seller documentation, maintains continuous insight throughout the transaction, and produces defensible findings that scale across portfolios and extend naturally into post‑acquisition risk management.
Active Focus is a great tool for Cyber Due Diligence because it:
- Reveals real, exploitable exposure instead of theoretical risk
- Reduces reliance on seller-provided documentation
- Provides continuous insight throughout the transaction
- Produces defensible findings for deal structuring
- Scales across portfolios and acquisition programs
- Extends naturally into post-acquisition risk management
Compliance plays a critical role in Cyber Due Diligence
Compliance is a critical part of cyber due diligence because regulatory exposure, reporting obligations, and contractual requirements can materially impact deal value. Active Focus helps identify gaps between documented compliance and real-world exposure, giving buyers confidence that regulatory risk is understood, defensible, and factored into the transaction.
