Cyber Security Due Diligence in M&A Transactions – A Prerequisite

Overview:

What is a Cyber Security Due Diligence? The term has been defined as ‘the review of the governance, processes and controls that are used to secure information assets.’ It can be rightly said that when you buy a Company, you’re buying their data, and one could be buying their data-security problems. In other words, cyber risk should be considered right along with financial and legal due diligence considerations.

Cyber Security is one such aspect that has become extremely vital in today’s business atmosphere. Cyber due diligence is a relatively new area of due diligence which has largely emerged as a result of technological advancements and increasing data and privacy threats. Almost all formal sectors today are dependent on technology, connectivity and digital networks to varying degrees. While sectors such as media, information, telecom, software and technology services are enabled by technology, various other sectors such as marketing, banking, education, transport and medical have grown exponentially by incorporating technology as a driver to increase their performance and efficiency.

Thus with the rapidly expanding mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) environment, companies often overlook the finer aspects of due diligence in their fervor to complete the transaction. Thus, these overlooked aspects tend to be reasons behind deal failures. It is because companies underestimate the importance of thorough due diligence on the target and take several vital things for granted at the time of closing.

However, cyber due diligence remains an un-prioritized and often ignored area in most deals in India and other developing countries. This post seeks to shed light on the importance and scope of cyber due diligence in India by presenting the main risks and consequential impact on M&A deals in India. It also suggests certain strategies to mitigate cyber risks through a study of international best practices.

Risks Involved Due to a Lack of Cyber Security Due Diligence:

Regardless of the type of industry, when companies make an acquisition, they are essentially investing in the intellectual property and R&D of the proposed partner organization. Typically, there are few individuals at the buyer corporation who truly understand the network systems they’re about to purchase, which contain the valuable IP they’re acquiring. The integrity of this data must be assessed prior to the purchase — and the team assessing it must be able to provide a level of scrutiny that ensures all areas are fully evaluated, diagnosed, and proved secure.

Threats that arise out of cyber-attacks appear in several forms. Many such threats pose serious direct and indirect financial risks to companies, a pertinent example being how the emergence of ransomware has highlighted the ease with which cyber criminals can halt business operations for days or weeks at a time, resulting in unrecoverable loss of revenue. However, what are the initial threats that result in financial risks? These can broadly be divided into two major categories i.e. electronically stored information (ESI) data breaches and loss of deal value. ESI breach risks can be explained by further dividing them into intellectual property (IP) loss, reputation and brand impact, and remediation costs. Other hidden costs may include value of lost contracts, lost value of customer relationships and insurance premium increases.

Data Storage Breaches:

There are standard clauses in purchase agreements to protect the buyer, for good reason. Any litigation, workforce issues, violation of environmental regulations, and other negatives must be known and accounted for, in order for deals to make sense at the agreed-upon price. But cyber security risks are generally unaccounted for.

The lack of focus on cybersecurity due diligence in Indian M&A transactions can lead to serious impacts on ESI and data that is stored on online databases such as the cloud. ESI refers to any data that is created, altered, communicated and stored in digital form. Examples of ESI could range from emails exchanged on the company’s servers to confidential information about the company’s IP and trade secrets. The two major ramifications that arise from an ESI breach are both immediate, such as a loss of IP and long term, such as a loss in brand and customer reputation.

Key cyber security risks that buyers can run into:

Ongoing Breach: Probably the worst-case scenario — the target company is “owned” by an unknown attacker: any sensitive data or intellectual property might already be gone, and a public relations problem is looming. Not only is the value of the acquisition damaged, but also now the buyer must deal with the fallout, which can be a very expensive undertaking.

Unrevealed Previous Breach: The target company suffered a breach in the past that is revealed to the buyer after the purchase. This is similar to the ongoing breach in that valuable data may have been lost, and the intruder could still be in the network.

Persistent Intruder: The target company is host to an attacker that maintains their presence in the environment, watching and waiting. Now the purchasing company might be hosting them as well.

Disruption Attacks: Is the target…
