The Peculiarities of mergers, acquisitions and de-mergers

Mergers, acquisitions and de-mergers creates various challenges, risks and responsibilities that the organisation can be held accountable for.

Issues can arise in many forms, from staff not understanding the changes being implemented, to being thrown in the default position when integrating systems and security regimes. GDPR and the restrictions set on transferring or destroying personal data, as well as the potential of a security attack, means there must be clear procedures in place.
