Technology Due Diligence
Independent assessment of a company's technology before an investment, acquisition or partnership, covering product architecture, code quality, security, scalability, team, costs and risks that affect valuation.
Capability overview
What technology due diligence involves
Investors and acquirers need to know whether a company's technology can support its business plan. A platform that cannot scale, code dependent on one founder, unresolved security weaknesses or open-source licence problems can change a deal's valuation or structure. Technology due diligence surfaces these issues in the time available before signing.
We review architecture, source code, infrastructure, security practices, development processes, product roadmap, team capability and technology costs through document review, tool-assisted code analysis, interviews and demonstrations. Findings are rated by deal impact, with suggested remediation costs, warranties or post-deal actions.
What is included
Areas reviewed
Architecture and scalability
Whether the platform can handle projected growth in users, data and markets without major rebuilds.
Code quality and technical debt
Static analysis, maintainability metrics, test coverage and sample manual review of critical components.
Security and compliance
Security controls, past incidents, penetration test results, data protection practices and certifications claimed.
Intellectual property and licences
Ownership of code, contractor agreements and open-source licence obligations identified with software composition analysis.
Team and costs
Key person dependencies, team structure, delivery practices, hosting and licence costs relative to scale.

Ask a questionA focused review can be completed in two to three weeks. Complex platforms or multiple products may need four to six weeks, depending on data room readiness and access to the target team.
Code access gives the most reliable findings and can be provided in a controlled environment. Where access is refused, the review relies on interviews, demonstrations and documentation, with that limitation stated.
Yes. Sellers commission reviews before a transaction to identify and fix issues early and to present credible technology information to buyers.
Each review is fixed price based on the number of products, codebase size and the depth of security and code analysis required.
