Technical Due Diligence
Know what you are buying before you sign. Independent technical due diligence on a target's security, systems, code and people, with findings you can price into the deal.
What our strategy and advisory services cover
Strategy and advisory is the work you do before and around the technical controls. It covers board-level counsel, security architecture, compliance support, assurance and technical due diligence.
It suits leadership teams, boards and investors who need an independent view of risk. You might need it before a funding round or acquisition, when a regulator asks for evidence, or when you need a security plan that the executive team can own.
Engagements usually start with a short scoping call and a review of what exists today. We then agree the outputs, such as a roadmap, a board pack or a set of documented controls, and a timeline. Work is delivered in phases so you can act on early findings before the rest is finished.
Frequently asked questions
Who are strategy and advisory services for?
They are for boards, executive teams and investors who need independent security advice, and for organisations preparing for due diligence, an audit or a regulatory review.
How is advisory different from an assessment?
Advisory sets direction and decisions. An assessment tests what is actually in place. Many clients use both: advisory to decide the priorities, and assessments to check the results.
How long does an engagement take?
It depends on scope. A focused review can take a few weeks. Ongoing support, such as fractional CXO work, runs for as long as you need it.
