Cyber Due Diligence & Business Intelligence

Know What You're Acquiring. Understand Who You're Dealing With.

OSINT-driven intelligence and cyber due diligence for organizations evaluating business transactions, assessing counterparties, and managing third-party risk.

The Practice

Intelligence That Informs Better Decisions

Before you close a deal, commit to a partnership, or extend trust to a third party, you need to understand what you're actually dealing with. Public information — properly gathered, analyzed, and interpreted — can reveal cyber exposure, corporate history, executive relationships, and risk indicators that internal teams and standard due diligence processes often miss.

Freeh Nexus Advisory provides OSINT-based intelligence and cyber due diligence that surfaces what matters. We don't just run searches — we apply investigative methodology to publicly available and lawfully obtained information, delivering findings that are organized, sourced, and ready to inform your decision.

Our work complements authorized internal technical diligence. We provide the external intelligence picture — the cyber posture, digital footprint, and counterparty context — that internal teams cannot easily see from the inside.

Who We Serve

Built for Organizations Making Consequential Decisions

Our cyber due diligence and business intelligence practice serves organizations that need an independent, external intelligence perspective before making consequential decisions.

  • Private equity firms conducting pre-acquisition due diligence on technology and cyber risk
  • Corporate development teams evaluating M&A targets and strategic partnerships
  • Investment groups assessing counterparty risk and business relationships
  • Law firms supporting transactions, litigation, and regulatory matters requiring external intelligence
  • M&A advisers seeking independent cyber and reputational intelligence to complement financial diligence

External intelligence research complements, but does not replace, authorized internal technical security diligence. Our work is based on publicly available and lawfully obtained information. We do not conduct unauthorized access, penetration testing, or any activity that would require the target's consent.
