Cyber Risk Readiness for Business Owners and Sellers

Prepare your business before diligence begins

Cyber risk has become a standard line of questioning in transactions, insurance renewals, and major contracts. NCX Group helps founders, CEOs, and boards prepare early by building defensible cyber risk readiness before external scrutiny begins.

The Sell-Side Reality

Buyers Are Asking Harder Questions

Most sellers believe cyber risk is “handled” until a buyer, insurer, or advisor asks for proof. At that point, gaps create leverage — not because of a breach, but because risk was never independently validated.

Sell-side cyber risk readiness protects:

  • Valuation
  • Deal momentum
  • Negotiating position
  • Leadership credibility

Our Role For Sellers

Preparation, Not Cleanup

NCX Group works with sellers before diligence begins. Our role is not to replace IT or MSPs. It is to provide independent advisory guidance that helps leadership understand risk, address gaps, and present a clear, defensible cyber risk posture.

We help sellers:

  • Understand what buyers will ask
  • Identify real exposure versus assumed coverage
  • Build evidence that stands up to scrutiny
  • Avoid last-minute surprises

When Sellers Engage Us

Sell-side teams typically involve NCX Group when:

  • A transaction is planned within 12–36 months
  • Insurance scrutiny is increasing
  • MSP or vendor reliance is high
  • Boards want clarity before outside review
  • Leadership wants to reduce uncertainty

Our work supports:

  • Founders and owners
  • CEOs and boards
  • CFOs and finance teams
  • Legal and transaction advisors

Independence Protects Value

Just as a CPA cannot audit their own books, cyber risk readiness requires independent perspective. Firms already providing IT, security operations, or remediation cannot objectively prepare a seller for external review.

NCX Group provides independent advisory guidance so sellers enter diligence informed, prepared, and confident.
