Technical Due Diligence
Minimise risk and protect investment value associated with M&A, supporting PortCos, and internal operations by gaining a definitive, secure, and actionable analysis of technology and security.
Navigating the challenge
Mergers, acquisitions, or significant investments often proceed with an incomplete understanding of the target company’s technology stack’s resilience, security gaps, and technical debt. These hidden issues such as undisclosed breaches, misconfigured cloud environments, or poor identity controls can lead to unexpected integration costs, compliance failures, and significant post-close security incidents, severely eroding the deal’s value.
Falx addresses this by shifting the focus of TDD: We provide a definitive, unbiased technical and cyber security reality to support board-level decisions, allowing you to inform negotiations and ensure your investment is built on a secure, resilient, and scalable technology platform.
Why Falx for TDD?
Technical Due Diligence (TDD) is more than a pre-acquisition audit; it is a critical strategic assessment that determines the true health and risk profile of a target company’s technology assets.
As a full-service cyber security consultancy, our TDD services are intrinsically different: we look at the security of the underlying infrastructure from the ground up.
Security from the Ground Up:
We provide an in-depth assessment of a company’s technology landscape, evaluating the strength, resilience, and security posture of its technology stack. This includes analysing everything from core Cloud Security Architecture and application security to technical risks and security engineering practices.
Actionable Insights to the Boardroom:
Our TDD provides actionable insights that bridge the gap between technical reality and your business objectives, translating complex security findings (e.g., remediation costs) into quantifiable financial terms that directly inform valuation and negotiation.
Holistic Risk Coverage:
We specifically investigate areas that cause the most significant post-close regrets, including data privacy non-compliance, incident history, third-party vendor risks, and mismanaged Identity and Access Management (IAM).
Services Build Our Solutions
Our services are the building blocks of Falx’s solutions. As a specialist cyber security consultancy, our TDD services are built from the ground up to provide a comprehensive and custom-tailored view of the target environment, assessing technology through the lens of business risk, security, and scalability. Our in-depth analyses cover:
Security Posture & Risk Management
We provide an in-depth assessment of the digital landscape, evaluating the strength, resilience, and security posture of the technology stack. This includes immediate identification of high-risk vulnerabilities, assessment of the overall cyber maturity, and review of Incident Response readiness.
Architecture & Engineering
We look at the quality, scalability, and security of the code and environment, spanning Cloud Security Architecture, application security, and secure coding and engineering practices.
Operational Resilience & Compliance
We assess the target’s adherence to industry frameworks and regulations (e.g., GDPR, DORA, PCI) and evaluate Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity capabilities, identifying gaps that could result in fines or operational downtime.
IT Service Management & Processes
Our assessment includes a review of operational processes, system documentation, and resource capability.
