Technical Due Diligence

De-risk your investments with comprehensive technical assessment that goes beyond the surface. We evaluate across five critical dimensions: Product, Platform, Process, Protection, and People.

Our assessors have built and scaled technology organisations. We know what good looks like — and what hidden risks to look for.

Technology Risk Assessment

Technology risk doesn't end at investment. We provide ongoing portfolio monitoring that identifies issues early — before they become expensive problems. Our risk framework covers technology debt, security vulnerabilities, key person dependencies, and scalability constraints.
