Protect and grow the investment in my portfolio companies

Is your portfolio's cyber risk an unmanaged liability?

Across a typical investment portfolio, a significant number of companies may be completely unsighted on their cyber risk exposure. This lack of visibility creates unpredictable risk, threatening returns and eroding investor confidence.

Talk to us

If cyber risk isn’t explained in business terms, organisations struggle to act with confidence.

Reduced Shareholder Value: Analysis shows that companies suffering major cyber breaches significantly underperform the market, directly impacting shareholder returns.

Earnings Volatility: Poor cyber hygiene can lead to extreme, unplanned costs from incidents, creating earnings volatility and jeopardizing EBITDA growth.

Threatened Divestment: A weak security posture discovered during due diligence can derail an exit strategy or reduce the final sale price, compromising value realisation.

Across a typical portfolio of 40 businesses, seven may have never discussed cyber security at board meetings, and over nineteen may be unsighted on their cyber risk exposure.

We turn cyber risk into business intelligence

Cydea Risk Intelligence helps organisations see where to focus, why it matters, and how security investments reduce risk. Most security teams are drowning in data but struggling to make decisions. Boards, meanwhile, want clarity, not technical detail. Cydea bridges that gap:

We tailor insights to your sector and size, so you know what’s relevant, and what can wait.

We combine our platform, which automates and scales data-driven insights, with human intervention, which is crucial for complex business decisions.

We show the impact of security improvements in business terms, enabling informed decisions at the executive level.

From risk assessments and security programme design to compliance support (CAF, DORA, ISO 27001) and investor due diligence, our consultants help you turn insight into action.

By translating cyber into the language of risk and resilience, we help the industry move beyond the technical sandpit and into the boardroom.
