Cyber security and technology transformation for private equity firms and their portfolio companies. Falx protects enterprise value through diligence, uplift and secure growth.
Service Details
INFO
For private equity, technology risk is value risk. We help UK sponsors and their portfolio companies secure platforms, meet FCA, PRA and ICO expectations, and build the technology foundations that returns are built on.
Cybersecurity Uplift for Portfolio Companies
A single breach in one portfolio company becomes a problem for the whole fund. We raise the security floor across the portfolio with pragmatic, prioritised uplift that stands up to lenders, regulators and buyers.
Regulatory Readiness
FCA and PRA operational resilience rules now apply in full to UK financial firms, and UK GDPR places data protection duties on every portfolio company. Where you also operate in the EU, DORA and NIS2 add further obligations, particularly for critical third-party technology providers. We assess your exposure and build compliance roadmaps that hold under investor and regulator scrutiny.
Risk Reduction
Ransomware and data breaches destroy value and derail exits. We identify and fix the exposures that matter most to enterprise value, sequenced by business impact rather than by checklist.
Exit Readiness
Vendor and technical due diligence questionnaires probe cyber posture early. We make sure the answers you give, with evidence, controls and roadmaps to back them, strengthen the equity story instead of undermining it.
Digital Transformation Strategy
Buy-and-build strategies only create value if platforms can integrate and scale. We help sponsors and management teams define and deliver technology transformation that compounds value across the portfolio instead of duplicating cost and risk.
