POL0330—Acquisition Assessment Policy

Strengthen Corporate Acquisitions with the Acquisition Assessment Policy

In every corporate acquisition, opportunities for growth and innovation abound. However, with these opportunities come risks that can jeopardise your organisation’s security. Acquiring a company without evaluating its security posture exposes your networks, systems, and sensitive data to potential vulnerabilities. The Acquisition Assessment Policy ensures your organisation conducts thorough security assessments, protecting your corporate assets while enabling confident, strategic growth.

Because Secure Acquisitions Matter

Imagine a seamless acquisition process where security risks are identified and mitigated before they impact your organisation. Networks remain secure, systems function smoothly, and sensitive information stays protected. This policy ensures that every company you acquire strengthens your business without compromising your security.

The Acquisition Assessment Policy empowers your organisation to identify vulnerabilities, evaluate risks, and enforce security requirements during acquisitions. It aligns with industry best practices, ensuring that your corporate networks and systems remain safe from unforeseen threats.

Protect What Drives Your Business

Acquiring a company is an investment in your future. However, integrating a company with unknown security risks can result in costly breaches, data loss, and reputational damage. The Acquisition Assessment Policy outlines the responsibilities of your Information Security (Infosec) team during acquisitions, ensuring that all security requirements are met. This proactive approach protects your organisation from risks while allowing you to focus on leveraging new opportunities.

By implementing this policy, your organisation ensures that every acquisition aligns with your security objectives. The policy provides clear guidelines to evaluate potential risks and determine remediation strategies, safeguarding your networks, systems, and confidential data.
