Executive Search & M&A Research Services

These services typically include leadership risk evaluation, cyber and technology due diligence, governance review, stakeholder interviews, and board-ready reporting. The goal is to help decision-makers assess executive capability, transaction exposure, and operational risk before making a hire, approving a deal, or entering a transition period. Deliverables often include red-flag summaries, action plans, and prioritized recommendations.

M&A cyber due diligence goes beyond checking systems or inventories. It examines breach history, cloud and infrastructure posture, third-party exposure, governance maturity, and how cyber risk could affect valuation or post-close integration. A standard IT review may focus on assets and operations, while cyber diligence is designed to uncover liabilities that may not appear on financial statements.

Boards, private equity groups, CEOs, COOs, general counsel, audit committees, and risk leaders commonly engage this type of support. It is especially valuable for organizations facing acquisitions, executive turnover, modernization efforts, regulatory pressure, or questions about whether current reporting and governance are strong enough to support major decisions.

Yes. Tyson Martin supports both transaction-related research and leadership transition needs. That can include interim CISO services, board advisory, governance assessments, and decision support during periods of instability. This combination is useful when an organization is evaluating a target company while also managing internal leadership gaps or elevated operational risk.

Deliverables depend on scope, but commonly include target risk profiles, red-flag memos, valuation impact observations, board briefing materials, remediation roadmaps, maturity scorecards, and executive dashboards. The emphasis is on concise, decision-ready outputs rather than long technical reports, so leadership teams can quickly understand exposure, priorities, and next steps.

Timelines vary by service. Productized or focused engagements may run about 30 days, while M&A cyber due diligence is often completed in roughly three to four weeks. Interim leadership support may last 30 to 90 days. Longer-term advisory retainers continue on a quarterly cadence to support ongoing board reporting and governance oversight.

Yes. Tyson Martin's advisory work is positioned as independent guidance rather than a channel for selling tools, platforms, or managed services. That matters when boards and executives need objective analysis, especially during acquisitions, incidents, or leadership transitions where recommendations should be based on business risk and governance needs rather than product incentives.

Yes. A core strength of these services is translating technical, governance, and operational issues into plain-English business impact. Reporting is designed for directors, executives, and legal stakeholders who need clarity on accountability, exposure, escalation thresholds, and decision rights without sitting through jargon-heavy presentations or overly technical documentation.
