When buying or selling a business, technology and compliance risks can make or break the deal. At North Signal, we provide independent cybersecurity and compliance assessments for organisations across Manchester and Greater Manchester, ensuring that no hidden IT or regulatory liabilities threaten your transaction.
Why Cybersecurity and Compliance Matter in M&A
In today’s market, buyers and investors expect assurance that:
- The target company’s systems are secure, resilient, and fit for scale
