Our Expertise in action
The Challenge
FSP has been providing cyber and threat management support to a leading private equity company with a diverse portfolio of businesses across the UK.
As part of their due diligence process, it is essential to understand the technology landscape and potential risks that would need resolving in an investment.
The challenge the company faced was a lack of identification of risk, and unawareness of whether they were carrying systemic risk.
They needed to get a clear view of their existing potential risks and deal with them, in addition to setting up an efficient and effective due-diligence process for the future.
The Solution
Penetration tests and Vulnerability scans form part of the onboarding process for all of our client’s new investments. This ensures their investments remain solid, secure, and any risk of Cyber threat does not detract from the revenue and profit achieved.
To achieve this, we created a specific set of assessments focussed on gaining appropriate visibility of any risk and effectively supporting the remediation of these risks.
Working closely with the client, we took a pragmatic approach to security vulnerabilities to ensure that resources are directed to tasks which will provide the greatest value and make the most difference to the underlying security level of the organisation. Specifically, we conducted the following:
- Attack Surface Review
- Penetration Testing
- IT Due Diligence
Throughout, we ensured a high-quality, seamless delivery through workshops, small group and one-to-one sessions, reporting and presentations. Ongoing, we are working with the client to further refine the requirements of the additional Penetration tests needed for their investments, as part of their annual contractual process.
