Managing large, diverse portfolios is a complex task—​especially under growing pressure from new threats.

As an experienced partner of private equity firms, we know how relevant cybersecurity is to the value, stability and profitability of the portfolio—​and how challenging cybersecurity can be.

Especially in the wake of an acquisition, attacks on portfolio companies increase sharply - because cybercriminals expect high profit margins through fresh capital.

Cyber maturity levels and regulatory requirements often differ significantly in the portfolio and remain difficult to manage without a comprehensive overview. Poor cybersecurity practices can reduce the creditworthiness of individual portfolio companies and also result in critical risks remaining undetected in the portfolio.

  • Lack of transparency of cyber maturity levels

  • No uniform standards

  • Cybersecurity incidents hinder value creation
