Velocity M&A Security Audit
Make cyber risks visible before you acquire.
Automated attack surface scan. Structured CTO interview. Every risk translated into EBITDA impact. One report for decision-makers – not engineers.
€50M deal. Zero visibility on cyber risks.
You're facing a transaction. Your team has reviewed the financials, the legal review is underway. But when it comes to the question of how secure the target is – silence.
Traditional IT due diligence takes 3–6 weeks. It delivers technical documentation that no investment committee reads. And it often arrives too late to influence the deal.
What's missing: a reliable assessment of the cyber risk landscape – in the language of investors, not engineers.
5 days. 10 pages. One clear basis for decision.
The Velocity M&A Security Audit combines automated external attack surface scanning with a structured CTO deep-dive. Every identified risk is directly translated into financial impact – as risk-to-valuation mapping.
The result is not a technical report. It is a 10-page executive report designed for investment committees: red flags, financial implications, recommendations for action.
