Unify and scale newly acquired offensive security teams
Successfully integrating a newly acquired penetration testing team into a unified, scalable function is a complex challenge. As a major M&A activity, it demands strategic planning, cultural alignment, and operational unification to protect your investment and maintain delivery quality.
