As the deal frenzy gets hot, buyers, vendors and companies should carefully scrutinize if site here the target keeps sensitive data — any information that could be detrimental to the company or perhaps cause harm to the competitors. Hypersensitive files contain personally identifiable information, such as social security figures and bank account numbers, and intellectual property and other private business info. If any of these types of data are present, a CFIUS-approval is essential. As an example, a social media site that shows HIV position or a finance company that gives services to military personnel are types of companies with sensitive data that may require CFIUS approval.
