How to marry information security considerations into the organization's overall M&A Strategy was the challenged posed to Elegrity business process re-engineering consultants by a multibillion dollar online retailer.  Elegrity worked with the organization's corporate M&A team, corporate Information Technology team, and corporate Information Security team to understand current processes, concerns and process gaps.  Then, Elegrity consultants adapted industry best practice risk management and assessment frameworks to develop a comprehensive, customized strategic and tactical (implementable) business process that injected much-needed Information Security considerations into the company's overall M&A business processes.  The engagement included a comprehensive set of deliverables that are leveraged by information security and M&A team members during any M&A (or divestiture) activity.
