Board-Level Cyber Leadership
At Sturnella, our cybersecurity services are designed for the moments that matter most in capital markets — IPOs, uplistings, M&A transactions, financing events, and board-level governance reviews. We provide governance-focused, disclosure-ready advisory that aligns cybersecurity risk with investor expectations, regulatory requirements, and transaction certainty.
Our approach is different from traditional cybersecurity consulting. We do not focus on IT operations, threat detection, or remediation. Instead, our work sits at the intersection of cybersecurity governance, regulatory disclosure, and deal execution — translating technical exposure into decision-ready insight that protects valuation and supports defensible outcomes.
IPO Cybersecurity Readiness
Preparing for an IPO or NYSE uplisting requires more than good security hygiene. Under SEC Regulation S-K Item 106 and Form 8-K Item 1.05, public companies must disclose how they assess and manage material cybersecurity risks, how boards oversee those risks, and how incidents are escalated and reported. We help clients build governance models, incident materiality workflows, board reporting frameworks, and disclosure narratives that withstand scrutiny.
Cyber Diligence for M&A
In mergers and acquisitions, cyber risk can become a valuation lever or a deal breaker. Our cyber due diligence services quantify risk in terms the deal team understands, flagging governance gaps that may affect representations and warranties, post-close integration, and purchase price negotiation.
Executive & Board Advisory
We support CFOs, General Counsel, Audit Committees, and private equity sponsors with structured governance guidance, tailored reporting metrics, and strategic oversight alignment to ensure cybersecurity risk is managed, disclosed, and overseen at the highest levels.
Our Commitment
Our Focus
To deliver independent, board-level advisory that translates cybersecurity and operational risk into disclosure clarity, governance precision, and valuation protection.
Sturnella exists to support companies navigating IPO readiness, acquisitions, national security sensitivity, and regulatory exposure — ensuring that risk is properly understood before it becomes transaction friction.
Sturnella operates where cybersecurity, governance, and capital markets execution intersect. We focus exclusively on transaction-sensitive and regulator-visible environments — particularly where operational and third-party risk can affect disclosure, valuation, and deal certainty.
Our work centers on:
IPO and Uplisting Readiness — aligning cybersecurity governance with SEC disclosure and exchange requirements
M&A and Transaction Diligence — evaluating cyber, operational, and national security exposure in buy- and sell-side contexts
Board-Level Cyber Oversight — independent governance support in high-consequence sectors
Third-Party and Supply-Chain Exposure — identifying risks that may impact capital access or regulatory posture
Mission-Critical Sector Advisory — supporting resource, energy, and defense-adjacent companies navigating complex scrutiny
We do not provide managed security services or technical remediation.
Our focus is advisory at the point where risk becomes disclosure, disclosure becomes valuation, and valuation becomes transaction outcome.
