Governance · 03 · Technology due diligence
What a buyer, investor or insurer needs to know, established independently.
Short, evidence-led reviews of a company’s security, infrastructure, data and AI posture, delivered in the time a transaction allows, and sell-side readiness for the firms about to be examined.
Engagement shapes
Scoped to the transaction.
| Shape | Scope |
|---|---|
| Buy-side diligence | Two to four weeks. Security posture, infrastructure resilience, data obligations, AI use, key-person and vendor dependencies, technical debt. Report written for an investment committee or a board. |
| Sell-side readiness | Four to eight weeks before a process begins. Find and fix what a buyer’s advisers will find; assemble the evidence room. |
| Insurance evidence | Cyber insurance applications and renewals: the controls underwriters now require, documented so premiums reflect reality. |
| Post-acquisition integration | First 100 days: control alignment, access consolidation, continuity of monitoring and evidence. |
Capabilities
What it covers.
Buy-side technology and security diligence
Buy-side technology and security diligence gives an acquirer or investor an independent, evidence-led view of a target’s security posture, infrastructure resilience, data obligations, AI use, key dependencies and technical debt, in the time a transaction allows and in the form an investment committee or board can use.

A sell-side readiness review prepares a company for the technology and security diligence a buyer’s advisers will perform: it finds what they will find, fixes what can be fixed in time, documents what cannot, and assembles the evidence room so that diligence confirms rather than discovers.
Learn more →03 / CapabilityCyber insurance evidence preparation
Cyber insurance evidence preparation assembles and verifies the controls evidence that underwriters now require for an application or renewal, so that answers are accurate, supported and consistent with what an underwriter’s own scan or a post-incident review would find.

Post-acquisition control integration brings an acquired company’s security, identity, infrastructure and data controls under the acquirer’s standards in the first hundred days without breaking the business that was just bought: access consolidation, monitoring coverage, policy alignment, evidence continuity and the closure of the risks diligence identified.

A key-person and vendor dependency review identifies the individuals, suppliers, platforms and licenses without which the organization’s technology would stop working or could not be maintained, and assesses how exposed the business is to each.
Learn more →06 / CapabilityTechnical debt and resilience assessment
A technical debt and resilience assessment establishes how much accumulated shortcut, obsolescence and fragility sits in an organization’s technology, what it would cost to address, and how it affects the ability to keep operating and to grow.
Learn more →07 / CapabilityDiligence report for boards and lenders
A diligence report for boards and lenders presents technology and security findings in the form a board, an investment committee, a lender or an underwriter can act on: what was examined, what was found, what it means for the decision at hand, what should be reflected in terms, and what must happen afterward.
