Every Investment Carries Cyber Risk the Financials Don't Show.

Yes. For acquirers that need to address findings post-close, Trava can support remediation through our compliance readiness and managed compliance program services, depending on the nature of the gaps identified — giving you a single partner across the diligence and remediation phases of the transaction.

Yes. Trava provides a consistent, repeatable cyber diligence process across a transaction pipeline, applying a risk-calibrated approach to each deal rather than a one-off engagement. Firms building cyber risk assessment into their standard diligence process as a standing practice are a strong fit.

The most common findings include unpatched vulnerabilities in internet-facing systems, misconfigured cloud environments with excessive access or exposed data, compliance gaps with frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI that become liabilities post-close, evidence of prior incidents the target was unaware of, and weak identity and access management. Most don't surface in a self-reported questionnaire.

Trava scopes and delivers each engagement to align with the deal timeline. Duration depends on the target's risk level and the scope of technical evaluation required. Contact us with the specifics of your transaction and we'll confirm a realistic delivery timeline.

Each engagement includes a risk-level assessment that scopes the technical evaluation, external and internal scanning, lightweight penetration testing calibrated to the assessed risk, a structured report covering security gaps and risk categorization with prioritized recommendations, and an expert consultation that walks your deal team through the findings and their implications for the transaction.

Questionnaires ask a target to self-report on its own security posture. They're a useful starting point, but they can't find what the target doesn't know about its environment, and can't verify what the target presents favorably. Technical scanning and penetration testing reveal what is actually exposed — and post-close security liabilities most commonly originate from gaps questionnaires don't surface.

Cyber due diligence is an independent assessment of a target organization's cybersecurity posture conducted during the M&A or investment diligence process. It evaluates the target's actual security environment through technical scanning and testing rather than self-reported questionnaires — identifying security gaps, compliance exposures, and remediation costs that should inform the deal before it closes.
