Due Diligence: In cybersecurity, due diligence refers to the careful investigation and evaluation of an organization’s information security posture and practices. It involves assessing the effectiveness of security policies, procedures, and controls to identify risks, vulnerabilities, and threats to the organization’s digital assets. This process is crucial when entering into business agreements or transactions to ensure that potential partners maintain adequate cybersecurity measures and comply with relevant regulations. Due diligence in cybersecurity aims to prevent data breaches, maintain privacy, protect intellectual property, and ensure business continuity.
