Technology Due Diligence

A full technology due diligence covers architecture quality and scalability, technical debt volume and remediation cost, codebase health and test coverage, security posture and known vulnerabilities, infrastructure costs and cloud spend efficiency, engineering team capability and key-person dependency, third-party software licences and IP ownership, and a risk-rated remediation roadmap with estimated effort.

Software due diligence focuses on the code, architecture, and engineering quality of a software product or platform. IT due diligence is broader and covers the full technology environment including infrastructure, vendor contracts, support processes, and operational maturity. Most M&A technology assessments require both, and we deliver an integrated view.

A standard technology due diligence for PE/VC and M&A transactions takes 5–10 business days from access to structured findings. Complex multi-product or multi-geography assessments can take 10–15 days. We align scope with your transaction timeline at the outset so the assessment does not become a bottleneck.

A structured assessment document covering each risk domain with a Red/Amber/Green rating, an executive summary suitable for investment committee or board presentation, a technical detail annex for integration planning, and a prioritised remediation roadmap with effort estimates. All deliverables are structured for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Yes. We operate under NDA and are experienced in working within the constraints of a structured data room. Where full code access is not available pre-close, we conduct an architecture and documentation review and flag gaps that require post-close validation. We scope the assessment explicitly around what is accessible.
