Mergers & Acquisitions

Integrate Acquisitions Securely and Confidently

Mergers and acquisitions move fast — but hidden vulnerabilities, shadow IT, and compliance gaps in acquired environments can put your business at risk. RedSeal delivers complete visibility and control, so every integration is secure, compliant, and efficient.

The Challenge & Risks

  • Limited visibility into assets and connections in the target environment
  • Shadow IT, unpatched systems, and overprivileged access remain undetected
  • Manual, inconsistent assessments delay secure integration
Without a unified view, organizations risk introducing hidden vulnerabilities and misconfigurations into their core systems during integration. Shadow IT, unpatched assets, and overprivileged access rights often remain undetected until after environments are connected — when the damage is much harder and costlier to fix. The result is increased exposure, compliance violations, and slower realization of business value from the acquisition.
Undetected vulnerabilities and misconfigurations can jeopardize compliance and business value.

How RedSeal Helps

Unified visibility and control across every environment.

RedSeal builds a dynamic model of both acquiring and target networks, uncovering every asset, connection, and exposure path. With this complete view, you can identify and prioritize risks, validate segmentation, and close unnecessary access — all before connecting to core systems. By standardizing and accelerating integration, RedSeal helps ensure compliancerequirements are met and business value is realized faster.

Key Capabilities

Visualize the Environment

See every asset, connection, and exposure path across acquiring and target networks — eliminating blind spots before integration.

Attack Path Analysis

Expose north–south and east–west attack paths to validate controls and close unnecessary access before integration.

Prioritize Critical Exposures

Use Risk Radius™ to prioritize vulnerabilities by likelihood of compromise, business impact, and exposure to the Internet

The Business Outcomes

RedSeal accelerates secure integrations and protects business value during M&A, resulting in:
  • Standardized onboarding process across acquisitions
  • Reduced integration time with fewer manual assessments
  • Improved compliance confidence and audit readiness

Customer Case Study

Accelerating Secure Integration During M&A

Expanding into new markets through acquisition of local healthcare clinics and provider networks.

Challenge: The organization acquired multiple clinic networks with limited visibility into assets and connections. Overprivileged access and segmentation gaps created HIPAA compliance risks, and manual assessments slowed onboarding.

Solution: RedSeal modeled both acquiring and target environments, mapped vulnerabilities, validated segmentation against HIPAA policies, and removed unnecessary lateral movement before integration.

Outcome: Each acquisition was integrated securely and efficiently, reducing exposure and eliminating hidden risks. Onboarding timelines shortened significantly, compliance requirements were met with confidence, and the organization gained a repeatable, standardized integration process for future M&A activity.

RedSeal gave us the visibility and control tointegrate each acquisition securely — while ensuring HIPAA compliance.
