Cyber Due Diligence
Cyber Due Diligence
Companies that get cybersecurity right treat it not as an add-on but as something shaped by—and aligned with—business strategy. Kratos Partners helps companies focus on digital risk management and cyber risk capabilities that matter most.
Cybersecurity and IT risk management are not technology projects. They are business projects with strong tech components. Companies that understand this don’t pursue wide-ranging—and often impossible to implement—cyber roadmaps. They focus on the IT risks and capabilities most relevant to their business strategy.
This perspective shapes our unique approach to cybersecurity and cyber risk. And it’s why a big part of our work is about enablement: building a foundation for continual improvement. So even when we step out of the picture, companies can keep their cybersecurity strategy and their business strategy aligned.
Our Approach to Cyber Risk and Cybersecurity Strategy
We look at cybersecurity through a business lens. Our IT and cyber risk teams help companies identify the digital risks they can and can’t accept. This lets us develop business-driven and risk-aligned capability roadmaps. Companies then focus their efforts—and investments—where they matter most.
The process plays out in several phases
Instead of relying on checklists to quantify IT and cyber risk, we work to understand risk tolerance in the context of business strategy. Our cybersecurity and digital risk consultants are not just technically proficient; they also possess strong business and risk acumen. They get to the heart of a company’s cybersecurity vision, so that it aligns with the business’s strategy.
We use evidence-based analysis, anchored in our clients’ priorities, to create a customized framework for cybersecurity. Our surgical approach means that a company doesn’t have to be best in class on every element of cybersecurity. In some cases, being good is just fine—and trying to do more could be an inefficient, and even unnecessary, use of resources.
Our cyber risk consultants work toward one overarching goal: to enable clients to take ownership of their cybersecurity and risk management. The capabilities, processes, and cyber skills we help develop—and embed through robust change management—allow companies to build on their cyber risk strategy, so it is always in sync with their needs, circumstances, and ambitions.
