Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between M&A and internal IT due diligence?
M&A due diligence focuses on assessing a target company's IT assets, risks, and opportunities before acquisition or merger. It helps buyers understand what they're acquiring and identify deal-breakers. Internal IT due diligence evaluates your own organization's IT operations, identifying inefficiencies, security gaps, and areas for improvement to optimize performance and reduce costs.
How long does an IT due diligence assessment take?
The timeline varies based on the scope and complexity. A focused M&A due diligence for a small company typically takes 2-4 weeks, while comprehensive assessments for larger organizations may require 6-8 weeks. Internal operational due diligence can range from 4-12 weeks depending on the depth of analysis required. We provide detailed timelines during the initial assessment phase.
What areas do you cover in IT due diligence?
Our comprehensive due diligence covers infrastructure and cloud architecture, application portfolio and technical debt, cybersecurity posture and compliance, data management and governance, IT organization and team capabilities, vendor relationships and contracts, disaster recovery and business continuity, technology roadmap and innovation capacity, and total cost of ownership analysis. We tailor the scope to your specific needs and objectives.
Do you provide recommendations or just identify issues?
We provide both detailed findings and actionable recommendations. Our reports include risk assessments with severity ratings, specific remediation steps for identified issues, cost-benefit analysis for improvements, prioritized roadmaps for addressing concerns, and best practice recommendations. For M&A scenarios, we also provide integration planning guidance and deal structure recommendations.
How do you ensure confidentiality during the due diligence process?
We take confidentiality extremely seriously. All our consultants sign comprehensive NDAs before engagement, we use secure data rooms and encrypted communication channels, access to sensitive information is strictly controlled and logged, we follow industry-standard security protocols for data handling, and all findings are shared only with authorized stakeholders. We can also work within your existing confidentiality frameworks and virtual data room environments.
