What to Expect
Why Technical Due Diligence?
60%
Critical Risks Identified Pre-close
Studies have found that 60% of deal failures were due to poor due diligence, highlighting the importance of identifying critical issues early. De-risk the deal by surfacing deal-impacting product & technology risks before the close.
$2.5m
Critical Security Issues are Deal-Killers
The average cost of a data breach for companies with annual revenues under $100 million is around $2.5m. Thorough security diligence can preemptively reveal the process and operational gaps that might lead to these breaches.
40%
Optimized Product Development Process
Companies with well-defined software development processes can improve their development productivity by 30-40%. The findings and recommendations from effective product and technology diligence become the foundation of a thriving product development organization.
