More information

LocateRisk, based in Darmstadt, provides automated, non-invasive external attack surface analysis and security ratings. Any target can be scored passively from its domain alone, without agents, credentials or the target's involvement, so cyber risk becomes measurable before first contact and before data room access. Deal teams use it to pre-screen targets in sourcing, to quantify and price cyber exposure in due diligence, to map third-party dependencies, and to monitor portfolio companies after closing.
