Case Study: International Technology Organization achieves cyber resilience assurance in a $7.5B M&A with NCC Group

international technology organization secures $7.5 billion M&A deal with NCC Group

An international technology organization enlisted NCC Group as its cyber security due diligence partner to understand the cyber resilience of a target company it was acquiring. The client's primary challenge was to ensure it was not buying into a potential breach and to assess a broad range of resilience topics, including global privacy compliance, security defects in software, and the operational resilience of a service used by 31 million users.

NCC Group implemented a comprehensive solution using its threat intelligence and domain intelligence offerings, deploying a team of over 30 consultants to conduct a full range of cyber activities. This included a threat hunt across many terabytes of data. The result was the successful identification of a number of issues that led to contractual terms in the deal being dependent on their resolution. NCC Group subsequently briefed key councils and executives and was retained by both parties after the deal.
