Accelerate your M&A security with unified visibility, automated normalization, and a repeatable process.
The challenges of mergers and acquisitions security
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) security in high-velocity environments involves managing inherited security debt, tool sprawl, and fragmented workflows across every acquired company and business unit. With each acquisition, security teams face integration slowdowns, inconsistent visibility, and governance challenges.
Inherited
chaos
Every acquisition brings its own scanners, workflows, and architectures—creating redundant tools, duplicated findings, and blind spots. With disconnected systems and manual correlation, teams lack a unified view of inherited risk.
Inconsistent governance
Each business unit follows different prioritization models, timelines, and ownership structures. Without standardized SLAs and remediation workflows, maintaining security posture becomes impossible, and audits become slow, manual, and inconsistent.
No repeatable playbook
Each acquisition reenacts the same chaos—custom reports, manual mapping, and tribal knowledge. As acquisition volume grows, the absence of a repeatable security model delays sign-off and threatens overall deal momentum.
What M&A security looks like without standardization
Months on average to security sign-off per acquisition
Repeatability—every deal means starting from scratch
Disconnected tools to manage, per acquisition
Amount of findings that are non-actionable noise
How ArmorCode Helps
One platform to unify every inherited stack
ArmorCode delivers a standardized, scalable platform purpose-built for organizations executing multiple acquisitions annually. It normalizes the inherited sprawl—tools, data, workflows, compliance evidence—into a unified security operating model.
360° visibility from day one
ArmorCode connects to 320+ security tools to automatically unify, normalize, and deduplicate every inherited finding. This provides a comprehensive 360° view of vulnerabilities across scanners and business units, offering immediate visibility into critical exposures and automated mapping to frameworks such as PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and CRA. Risk is quantified in business terms—not raw scanner outputs—reducing weeks of manual correlation to just a few days.
Consolidate and optimize tools
Instead of layering another tool on top of the chaos, ArmorCode normalizes outputs from existing tools and surfaces rationalization opportunities. Identify which inherited tools provide redundant coverage and which create gaps. Guide decisions about what to keep, consolidate, or sunset—without losing historical findings. One ArmorCode customer identified $2M+ in annual scanner redundancy across its acquisition portfolio.
Accelerate operational efficiency
When the same vulnerability is flagged across 5 different scanners, it appears once with unified context—not 5 times. Issues are routed to the right business unit, dev team, or infrastructure group based on ownership models. Consistent remediation SLAs are enforced across all business units with automated escalation. Newly acquired orgs are fully integrated into your governance model in weeks, instead of months.
Align security with deal economics
ArmorCode ensures security no longer slows deal momentum by enabling a predictable, standardized integration workflow for every acquisition. You get faster integration cycles and synergy realization, audit-ready evidence on day 1, and a playbook that strengthens with each deal. The result is a strategic advantage: the ability to scale M&A without scaling security chaos.
