Technology Due Diligence

Technology is often the core value driver in modern acquisitions, yet technology risks are frequently underestimated or overlooked. We provide thorough, independent assessment of technology assets, capabilities, and risks.

Our assessments go beyond surface-level review. We examine architecture decisions, code quality, technical debt, security posture, and team capabilities to identify issues that could affect valuation, integration, or future performance.

  • Technology stack and architecture assessment
  • Code quality and technical debt analysis
  • Scalability and performance evaluation
  • Security posture and vulnerability assessment
  • Cloud infrastructure and cost analysis
  • Engineering team capability review
  • IP ownership and licensing verification
  • Data architecture and quality assessment

What We Deliver

Our due diligence reports provide actionable intelligence for deal teams, investors, and boards. We don't bury findings in appendices - we surface the issues that matter and explain their implications clearly.

  • Executive summary with key findings and deal implications
  • Risk register with severity ratings and likelihood assessments
  • Technical debt quantification and remediation estimates
  • Post-acquisition integration recommendations
  • 100-day plan for critical remediation items
  • Management presentation and Q&A session

We work to deal timelines, providing preliminary findings quickly and detailed reports on schedule. We understand the pressures of transaction environments.

Startup Due Diligence

Investors need confidence that a startup's technology can scale, that security fundamentals are in place, and that the technical team can execute the business plan.

Technology Assessment

Evaluation of technology choices, architecture decisions, and development practices. We identify whether the technology can support projected growth and what investments will be required.

Security Review

Assessment of security fundamentals and identification of risks that could affect enterprise sales, regulatory compliance, or reputation. Particularly important for startups handling sensitive data.

Team Capability

Evaluation of the technical team's capabilities, experience, and capacity. We identify strengths, gaps, and key-person dependencies that could affect execution.

Cost Projections

Estimates of future infrastructure costs, technical investments, and team expansion needed to support growth plans. Essential input for financial modelling.

Sell-Side Assessments

Preparing for a sale or investment? Proactive assessment identifies and addresses issues before they derail negotiations or reduce valuations.

Vendor Due Diligence

Comprehensive technology and security assessment that you control. Share with potential buyers to accelerate deal timelines and demonstrate preparedness.

Pre-Sale Remediation

Identification and remediation of issues that could affect valuation or deal certainty. Better to fix problems proactively than negotiate under pressure.

Documentation Preparation

Ensure your technology documentation, architecture diagrams, and security policies are complete and ready for buyer scrutiny.
