Technical Due Diligence
Understand technology risk before an investment or acquisition.
The business challenge
Why this matters
Financial due diligence rarely tells a buyer whether a business depends on an unsupported system, one indispensable administrator or a recovery process that has never been tested. Technology issues can change the economics of a deal.
When businesses come to us
- You are purchasing a business with systems you do not understand
- An investor or adviser needs a technology-risk perspective
- You want to assess integration difficulty before committing
- You are preparing a company for a buyer’s technical review
A practical approach
Start with the business problem
We look at your objectives, what is happening today and the constraints you need to work within. The right answer may be a change in process, a better configuration, a different supplier or no change at all.
Our scope
Where we can help
Activities are tailored to the agreed requirements rather than assumed to be included in every engagement.
Security and resilience
Consider identity, access, backup, recovery and key operational dependencies.
People and suppliers
Assess documentation, key-person exposure, outsourced providers and contract dependencies.
Costs and technical debt
Identify material maintenance, licensing, upgrade and remediation issues.
Possible engagement outputs
Useful outcomes, not just activity
- Executive summary with red, amber and green findings
- Evidence-based risk register and key information gaps
- Indicative remediation considerations and suggested priorities where supportable
- A buyer-focused set of questions and possible first-100-day actions
How it works
A clear scope from the outset
We define the transaction context, confidentiality, deadline and access. The review is evidence-led and read-only unless separately authorised. Findings are discussed with the buyer and nominated advisers.
Advisory offering in development. The examples on this page describe a possible engagement, not a published fixed package or guaranteed deliverable.
