Secure M&A process using Business Software
Onboarding new employees is one of the most difficult aspects of any M&A. It’s important to make sure they are on the same page as quickly as possible. Ineffective onboarding procedures can cause productivity to drop and result in a high rate of turnover following M&A. It is also crucial for the company acquiring it to onboard the acquired workforce quickly in order to reap the synergies from the deal.
During the M&A, IT teams are required to integrate users from both systems efficiently without causing security gaps or compromising data integrity. The challenge is even greater when onboarding acquired workers who are using their own devices or third-party applications, such as cloud-based or social media.
Cybersecurity professionals must tackle these challenges by integrating the M&A process from beginning to finish and making sure they are aware of all moving parts. This includes the post-merger integration stage and due diligence analysis. It is crucial that CISOs approach M&As with a servant-like attitude and present cybersecurity risks in a manner that executives understand. This means avoiding technical jargon and using metrics executives can relate to like financial impact or reputational damage.
