Cybersecurity Due Diligence — The CyberDudeBivash Way

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.


 Key Dimensions of Cybersecurity Due Diligence

1. Governance & Risk Management

  • Board-level security oversight
  • Risk registers aligned with ISO 27001 / NIST CSF
  • Cyber insurance coverage validity

2. Infrastructure Security

  • Network segmentation and Zero Trust architecture
  • Cloud security posture (AWS, Azure, GCP misconfigurations)
  • Patch management speed (CVE-to-patch cycle time)

3. Application & DevOps Security

  • Secure coding practices and SAST/DAST/SCA scan results
  • IaC security (Terraform/Ansible hardening)
  • CI/CD pipeline exploitation readiness

4. Data Protection & Privacy

  • Compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIS2
  • Data encryption (at rest + in transit)
  • Access controls & insider risk detection

5. Incident Response & Resilience

  • Breach history and forensic investigations
  • IR playbooks aligned with MITRE ATT&CK
  • Ransomware resilience and backup immutability

6. Third-Party Risk Assessment

  • Vendor cyber rating & SBOM transparency
  • Exposure to supply chain attacks (MOVEit, SolarWinds style)
  • Contractual breach notification SLAs
