IT & Security Due Diligence Services for Private Equity

Assessing Your Operations: Why does Due Diligence Matter?

The importance of securing business environments has increased significantly over the past several years, and the importance private equity firms need to place on minimizing risks, securing the IT infrastructure, and maximizing value of merger and acquisition targets is critical. With so many moving parts to merger and acquisition transactions, it is not hard for the entire deal to be derailed by a simple misstep or overlooked risk. It is no surprise, then, that a large percentage of deals fail to meet their objectives because of inadequate planning. This is where RKON’s due diligence provides the value private equity firms are looking for.

RKON helps private equity firms make better decisions throughout the entire merger and acquisition process. With our due-diligence framework, we can quickly develop an accurate assessment of security, cost opportunities and compliance benchmarks; followed by a comprehensive roadmap on expectations moving forward.

Benefits of RKON’s Due Diligence Framework

IT due diligence reporting can be broken down into many different stages, but the main purpose is to define how the technology stack of a business is assembled, assessing any potential risks, like bugs or security vulnerabilities, as well as technology disclosures, process documentation, adherence, misuse of software, license conflicts, poor implementation, and much more.

RKON’s overall evaluation is meant to paint a complete picture of the state of technology and help. With a detailed assessment providing a comprehensive depiction of technology, we help private equity know what surprises lie ahead and help plan accordingly to ensure an underlying strategy for building and maximizing value.

In our typical IT due diligence process, our experts examine from all angles, including IT infrastructure, governance, applications, financials, and more, in order to answer key questions.
