Corporate and private equity teams need security findings that support a decision: proceed, price, remediate, contain, preserve, or disclose. GDF performs targeted cyber diligence, penetration testing, incident response, code review, cloud analysis, departing-employee work, and technical support for disputes.
Diligence that tests operations, not the questionnaire
Review focuses on internet exposure, identity, critical applications, cloud, backups, third parties, acquisitions, vulnerability debt, security events, development practices, and recovery. Evidence is tied to the target's actual architecture and business dependencies. Material unknowns remain visible rather than being converted into a passing score.
A remediation plan with ownership and timing
Findings distinguish immediate transaction conditions, first-100-day work, and longer capital improvements. Each item states the affected system, credible consequence, owner, correction, dependency, and validation method. Portfolio reporting can then show the status of corrective work, the retest record, and residual scope instead of relying on ticket counts alone.
- Pre-close and post-close security assessment
- Human-led attack-path and application testing
- Incident history and readiness review
- Source-code, cloud, identity, and third-party analysis
- Expert support for transaction and employment disputes
Technical findings, not transaction advice
GDF reports technical facts and risk. It does not provide legal, tax, investment, or transaction advice. Deal teams and counsel decide how findings affect terms, representations, insurance, or disclosure.
