Insight-Driven Risk Assessments for Confident Decisions
Ensuring Clarity and Confidence Before You Commit
In mergers, acquisitions, fundraising, or strategic partnerships, rigorous due diligence is critical to making informed, risk-aware decisions. Our Technical Due Diligence service goes beyond surface level evaluation we dig deep into technology, operations, compliance, and scalability to give you an unbiased and data-backed understanding of the business you’re investing in or acquiring.
Whether it’s a startup under review or an enterprise acquisition, we identify hidden risks, quantify technical debt, and help you make confident, strategic decisions.
_ ABOUT OUR DUE DILIGENCE SERVICES
Vistaar Digital leads the technical due diligence practice for mergers, acquisitions, and strategic investments. Our cross-functional team of senior engineers, solution architects, security specialists and compliance advisors works alongside financial and legal teams to deliver a holistic, transaction-grade assessment. We specialise in validating technical claims, uncovering hidden liabilities, and quantifying technology risk so buyers, investors and boards can make confident M&A decisions. Beyond identification, we provide prioritised remediation plans and post-deal integration roadmaps that accelerate value capture and minimise execution risk.
_ SCOPE OF WORK
Our due diligence process is built around seven key dimensions that collectively define a company’s technological maturity and operational readiness:
- Architecture & Infrastructure
We assess the overall system design, hosting environment, deployment processes, and infrastructure reliability. This includes evaluating cloud configurations, redundancy, disaster recovery setups, and infrastructure costs ensuring the foundation can support business growth. - Scalability
Our team reviews how well the system is built to scale, analysing performance under load, data growth handling, and architecture elasticity. We identify scaling bottlenecks and provide actionable insights for future proofing the platform. - Workflow
We evaluate development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, testing practices, and release management. A mature workflow ensures faster releases, fewer bugs, and predictable delivery key indicators of technical agility and team efficiency. - Intellectual Property
We examine ownership, licensing, and IP protection related to source code, software assets, and third-party integrations. This helps confirm there are no legal encumbrances or dependency risks that could affect ownership or valuation. - Code / Data Quality
We conduct deep codebase audits to review code maintainability, documentation, data structures, and quality standards. This includes checking for technical debt, security flaws, and adherence to best practices providing a code health score and recommendations. - People
We analyse the technical team’s composition, roles, and skill depth, including leadership capabilities, turnover rates, and process maturity. The human aspect is as vital as the technology we ensure the right people and processes are in place to sustain growth. - Security
We perform a full review of application and infrastructure security, data protection measures, compliance with GDPR and other regulatory standards, and vulnerability management. A secure foundation protects both reputation and valuation.
_ KEY FEATURES
Our diligence process combines technical depth with business relevance:
Comprehensive Technical & Product Architecture Audits
We conduct a detailed evaluation of system architecture, infrastructure, and technology stacks to determine whether the product is built for scalability, reliability, and maintainability. Our analysis highlights architectural strengths, single points of failure, and technical debt that may impact future performance or integration.
Scalability & Performance Analysis with Risk Scoring
Using proven frameworks and stress-testing methodologies, we assess the system’s capacity to handle future growth in users, data, and transactions. The findings are quantified using risk scoring models that help investors and acquirers estimate future costs of scaling and potential infrastructure bottlenecks.
Code & Data Quality Assessments Across Repositories
Our engineers perform an in-depth review of codebases to evaluate maintainability, documentation standards, modularity, and adherence to best practices. Data integrity, database schema design, and backup strategies are assessed to ensure readiness for analytics, AI, and compliance needs.
Security & Compliance Checks Including Penetration Testing
We evaluate the platform’s security posture with vulnerability scans, access control audits, and simulated penetration testing. This helps uncover data exposure risks, dependency vulnerabilities, and gaps in regulatory compliance (such as GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC2).
Operational & Process Workflow Evaluation
We map key operational workflows — from release management to CI/CD pipelines and incident response — to evaluate process maturity, automation levels, and operational resilience. The goal is to identify inefficiencies and recommend improvements that strengthen execution and scalability.
IP, Licensing & Third-Party Dependency Validation
We review intellectual property ownership, open-source licensing, and third-party integrations to identify potential compliance or ownership risks. This ensures that all assets being acquired or invested in are legally protected and commercially transferable.
People Capability & Team Readiness Assessment
We analyse the structure, experience, and capacity of the existing technology teams — including leadership, development, QA, DevOps, and support — to assess whether the organisation can sustain and scale its roadmap post-deal. Skills mapping and team structure audits form part of this process.
Post-Deal Integration Roadmap & Remediation Plan
Our final report doesn’t stop at risk identification — it includes actionable recommendations and a prioritised roadmap for remediation and integration. This ensures a smooth transition and helps accelerate post-acquisition synergies while reducing operational disruptions.
_ Benefits for Businesses
- Identify technical, operational, and legal risks before committing capital
- Validate the maturity, scalability, and sustainability of a product or platform
- Gain quantifiable risk scores and prioritised recommendations
- Reduce post-deal integration surprises and accelerate transition readiness
- Build investor and stakeholder confidence through transparent reporting
_ USE CASES
Gain a complete picture of the target company’s technical landscape before acquisition. We assess architecture, code quality, scalability, and team capability to uncover hidden risks and help you negotiate from a position of confidence.
Before committing to integration, ensure your partner’s platform is secure, stable, and future-ready. Our due diligence highlights potential compatibility issues, performance limitations, and dependency risks that could impact long-term collaboration.
Protect your investment by verifying software ownership, IP rights, and licensing structures. We ensure that source code, dependencies, and integrations are fully compliant and transferable, avoiding future legal or operational complications.
Make informed investment decisions backed by verified technical data. We evaluate product maturity, scalability potential, and technology debt to help venture capital and private equity firms accurately assess valuation and growth readiness.
Reduce operational risk by understanding the strengths and weaknesses of third-party platforms. Our review identifies architectural gaps, compliance issues, and integration challenges to ensure seamless onboarding and reliable performance.
