9 September 2025
Use CasesSpot hidden data-exposure landmines across both companies, so the deal closes clean and Integration Day is drama-free.
The Scenario
During diligence, you inherit terabytes of chats, docs, and drives, but don’t always have time to read them. Leaked information can cause serious consequences before or after you close the deal. You need rapid, board-ready visibility that goes beyond file listings.
No agents. No migration. Just seamless connection to Copilot.
Red-team simulation probes for finance, HR, legal, and IP topics across both orgs.
Knostic shows red/amber/green zones by department, entity, and data class.
Sort and filter each leak to evaluate impact, regulatory fines, and closing-day delays.
One-click fixes tighten labels or ACLs; re-scan proves the zone is safe before data merges.
Risk snapshot in 24 hours, not weeks of manual review.
Separate heat-maps for buyer, seller, and the post-merger environment.
Quantifies potential impact of each leak.
Know exactly which shared drives or Copilot groups need lockdown in advance.
Get a PDF summary with exposures, ownership logs, and progress, so you can maximize accountability.
These capabilities transform “unknown risk” into a quantified, actionable plan, keeping valuations intact and Day-1 operations secure.
