Cyber security support post acquisition
Challenge
A Private Equity firm acquired a rapidly growing business operating across four countries in the middle east. The company’s cyber security infrastructure had not kept pace with its growth. With only a small internal IT team and basic security measures, there were significant gaps in its security posture. The absence of cyber reporting and oversight raised concerns among investors, highlighting the urgent need for a robust cyber security framework.
Solution
The Private Equity firm worked with a scale-up in the cyber security space to build and deploy a comprehensive security suit, closing critical risks in the organisation’s security posture such as. For example: vulnerability analysis to identify live threats; remediating issues; deploying Remote Monitoring and Management tools; establishing a Cyber Security Managed Service and appointing a virtual CISO for oversight.
Outcome
- A robust cyber security, streamlined operations
- 47% cost savings compared to previous provider quote
- Investor confidence – regular board reports from vCISO
- Centralized 24/7 monitoring via RMM tools
