Technical Due Diligence
Evaluate technology risk before you invest
Technical Due Diligence evaluates the technology foundation supporting a business during an investment or acquisition. FoundationState assesses architecture, infrastructure, security, and engineering capability to identify risks that could affect scalability, integration costs, and enterprise value.
Best used when
You need a fast, independent view of platform risk before an acquisition, funding round, or strategic commitment.
What gets pressure-tested
Architecture, cloud resilience, delivery maturity, security posture, and the operational friction likely to surface after close.
What you leave with
A practical view of risk, remediation priorities, and the likely cost or complexity hidden behind the current platform.
Engagement Tiers
Select the engagement tier that matches the complexity of your target business and transaction requirements.
Small Technical Due Diligence
Focused platform and security snapshot
The Small Technical Due Diligence engagement provides a rapid, structured assessment of the target’s core technology estate, operational hygiene, and public-facing risk exposure.
It is designed for lower-complexity transactions where the priority is Day-1 visibility on avoidable technical, security, and ownership risks rather than a deep architecture rewrite assessment.
Scope of Review
Deliverables
- Executive summary with red / amber / green risk rating
- Identified gaps and hygiene failures
- Day-1 ownership risks
- Prioritised remediation recommendations (30-60-90 day view)
Timeframe
Fast-moving reviews usually complete once tool access, admin ownership, and basic security documentation are available.
Best fit
Seed to Series A investments, smaller acquisitions, or initial technology assessments
Indicative pricing
Custom scoped
Quoted based on the number of systems, users, and business entities included in scope.
Out of Scope
- Any proprietary SaaS or customer-facing application
- Source code review
- Infrastructure or cloud architecture analysis
- Penetration testing or vulnerability exploitation

Technical Due Diligence works alongside our Product Due Diligence service. Many transactions benefit from both assessments combined.
