Case Study: a private equity firm achieves portfolio-wide security and compliance readiness with RKON vCISO services

Private Equity Firm builds a 3-year security roadmap with RKON

A private equity firm, which manages a portfolio of over thirty companies, faced a significant challenge after a ransomware attack struck one of its investments. The firm lacked a clear understanding of the security posture across its entire portfolio and needed to prevent future incidents. They engaged RKON for a vCISO service and an ISO 27001 assessment to address this.

RKON provided a consolidated risk assessment, penetration testing, and incident response services. The solution included a fractional vCISO to deliver on-demand security leadership and a three-year roadmap. As a result, the private equity firm established a comprehensive security program for its entire portfolio, implemented a robust due diligence process for new acquisitions, and achieved readiness for GDPR and CCPA compliance.
