Cyber due diligence: A critical tool in investment diligence
As the scale and frequency of cyber attacks continue to grow, the impacts of cyber security incidents reached an all-time high in 2020.
Making informed decisions about third parties in challenging locations is a critical factor in the success and sustainability of any operation or investment.
For more than 40 years, Control Risks’ investigative teams, specialist researchers, and subject matter experts have provided a range of due diligence services to support clients in reaching their strategic, operational and compliance goals. We help you identify ESG vulnerabilities and opportunities in your investments, projects and supply chains – ranging from environmental issues to human rights, and from cyber risks to community relations. We plan for remediation and capacity building, protecting your reputation and safeguarding your licence to operate wherever your business takes you.
We have experts around the world who know the local environments where our clients work, and who understand the nuances and risks around ESG factors. Our methodology draws on globally recognised disclosure and compliance standards – such as SASB and GRI – and accounts for industry best practice, local context and international regulatory requirements.
We provide pre-transaction ESG due diligence, third party ESG screening and intelligence gathering to assess specific social and governance issues. We also support investment integration, ongoing risk management and capacity building through the design and embedding of new policies and processes.
