Technical Due Diligence
Make Better Tech Investment Decisions
When partnering with Revelry on a technical due diligence assessment, efficiency and thoroughness are priorities.
A Comprehensive Approach
Technical due diligence is a critical process for assessing the viability, security, and scalability of a technology-driven company. Whether for continued development, acquisitions, investments, or internal evaluations, this process ensures that technical risks are identified and mitigated.
Code Audit
A code audit is a deep dive into the software’s source code to evaluate its quality, security, maintainability, and compliance with best practices.
Code Audits Include:
Code Quality
Assessing adherence to industry standards, readability, and maintainability.
Security Review
Identifying vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other exploits.
Scalability & Performance
Evaluating the code’s efficiency and ability to handle increased loads.
Third-Party Dependencies
Reviewing open-source and third-party libraries for licensing compliance and security risks.
Design Audit
A design audit examines the software architecture and system design to ensure robustness, scalability, and future-proofing.
Design Audits Include:
System Architecture
Assessing whether the architecture aligns with business objectives and supports scalability.
Infrastructure & DevOps
Reviewing cloud configurations, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment strategies.
Data Management
Ensuring efficient database schema design, data integrity, and backup strategies.
Technical Debt Analysis
Identifying legacy systems, bottlenecks, and areas requiring refactoring.
Investment Audit
For potential investors, a technical due diligence audit evaluates the technology’s sustainability and business viability.
Investment Audits Include:
Technology Fit
Assessing whether the technology aligns with market trends and competitive advantages.
Development Processes
Evaluating engineering practices, team capabilities, and development velocity.
Scalability & Growth Potential
Ensuring the system can handle increased users and transactions.
Risk Assessment
Identifying potential pitfalls such as cybersecurity threats, regulatory compliance issues, and high-maintenance costs.
