Executive Summary
Cybersecurity due diligence is no longer optional — it is the foundation of trust, compliance, and resilience in a world where M&A deals, third-party vendor risks, and regulatory fines can sink enterprises.
At CyberDudeBivash, we define due diligence as the systematic assessment of security posture across people, processes, and technology before business-critical decisions are made. Whether you are acquiring a company, onboarding a vendor, or investing in digital infrastructure, due diligence ensures hidden cyber risks don’t turn into million-dollar breaches.
