Secure Due Diligence
Often times when negotiating a potential Merger or Acquisition, an organization must reveal their most sensitive secrets, their intellectual property and non-public financial data. In some cases, these revelations must be done to an organization’s current competitors, or potential competitor. In every case, this is highly confidential, non-public information that must be protected like the crown jewels they are.
However, with M&A work, time is of the essence. Typically large amounts of complex data must be reviewed by experts in a very short time frame – a purposely short period of time to allow the potential purchaser to evaluate the sufficiency and quality of the company’s assets.
NCC Group’s Secure Due Diligence (M&A Escrow) service allows an organization to place these critical, confidential assets with us knowing that we protect this data with the utmost of care and security. NCC Group’s unique value proposition in this space is that we are able to provide a quickly established, configurable service that allows for the secure review of these most critical assets, outside of the organization’s own locations. This keeps employees and any customers or partners from noticing the strangers holed up in a conference room requesting reams of documents and having senior leadership respond quickly to their every beck and call.
NCC Group works with the disclosing party to gather, organize and catalog the review information in an intuitive fashion. From there, the parties cooperate to ensure that security protocols are established for each piece of data meant to be reviewed. Finally, NCC Group and the disclosing party agree on authorized access procedures and protocols so the right people look at the right data, nothing more, and nothing less.
NCC Group is able to do this both from a facility-based solution, as well as an online solution. We will work with the business, finance and business development people alike to provide the best balance of security and access, to make the successful completion of a deal more likely.
