FAQ
What are the signs that my company needs technology due diligence?
Firstly, unsatisfactory quality of your tech products. If your clients are complaining about software bugs more and more frequently, it’s a sign that you should clarify what goes wrong with your business strategy, who is responsible for the problem happening, and how it can be solved. Secondly, ineffective operation management. You cannot deliver a good tech-related service if there are tech-related gaps within your organization. And thirdly, security and data privacy concerns. Decisions are taken by humans, not technology. Making the wrong decisions leads to tech vulnerabilities. The technical due diligence process allows you to prevent the wrong decisions and eliminate potential security risks.
What are the main features of technology due diligence services?
The technology due diligence checklist may have different forms but here are some universal features to be included. The first characteristic is that technology due diligence brings unbiased results. The audit is conducted by independent third-party specialists who do not possess a personal interest in specific outcomes. As a result, you get an objective overview of your tech-related processes. The second peculiarity is informativeness. Technology due diligence enables businesses to detect tech gaps, reduce/prevent financial losses, and eliminate technology risks. And lastly, the results of technology due diligence are actionable. That is, you are provided not only with data but also with ideas on the practical implementation of this data. Tech specialists present you with the strategy, recommendations, and tools to be used to solve problems.
How to conduct technology due diligence on my own?
What is due diligence in different industries? There are no industry standards for technology due diligence, but the main aspects to be audited are people, processes, and technology. Check the documentation for these three aspects as well as the way everything works in practice. Review software licensing and intellectual property details concerning the products you develop. Also, it is important to extract insights from the analysis and introduce improvements timely.
