SELLING A BUSINESS WITHOUT AUDITING ITS INFORMATION SYSTEM
It's the equivalent of selling a car without a valid roadworthiness certificate. What buyer would take that risk today?
The observation
Potential buyers no longer look solely at financial statements. They now factor digital risk and operational health into their assessment. With ANDIRIS, turn this constraint into a major competitive advantage.
01.
The New Challenge of Divestment
Today, IT is at the heart of the business. A vulnerable or poorly optimised IT system is a hidden liability and a hindrance to negotiations.
02.
The Risk for the Transferor
Late discovery of vulnerabilities can cause the sale to fail or lead to a significant drop in price.
03.
The Question of Buyers
Acquirers and their advisors now demand transparency on:
-
Cybersecurity (Data leakage risks, GDPR compliance, resilience).
-
The state of critical applications (ERP, CRM) and their ability to support growth.
-
Data quality and the performance of associated processes.
The Andiris Audit provides complete transparency regarding the actual state of your information system.
