Software Due Diligence

Technology Due Diligence

Assess and Modernize Your Software to Raise Its M&A Value

Technical due diligence services are important for a successful M&A deal, on both sides of the table. Your software’s condition determines your company’s value, or the value of a target you’re buying.

We evaluate the codebase, architecture, security, and scalability to identify buyer concerns and modernize the areas that most affect deal outcomes.

Core Technical Due Diligence Services

We provide an end-to-end software due diligence service for both sides of a deal, delivering the most accurate, multi-dimensional evaluation of your software system to support your strategic decisions with technical insights.

modernization-solution

Source Code Quality Assessment

Our experts carefully evaluate your codebase and detect bugs, inconsistencies, technical debt, duplication, and complexity. We also assess documentation coverage and provide actionable recommendations to improve overall maintainability.

Software Architecture Review

We dive deep into architectural design to evaluate its logic, ability to support current workflows, and future growth. We detect tightly coupled components that cause performance and scalability issues, hidden dependencies, and other weaknesses that impact system stability.

Documentation and Knowledge Transfer

We produce the technical documentation many mature systems never had: architecture, dependencies, setup, and operations. It gives buyers what they expect to see, so ownership transfers cleanly, key-person risk drops, and you come to the table with minimized risks and evidence-backed confidence.

Infrastructure and DevOps Evaluation

We analyze all the technologies, practices, and processes that support your software. We check deployment workflows and environment configuration to detect risk areas and strengthen growth readiness.

Technology Team and Delivery Process Review

Corsac’s experts help determine whether the engineering organization is effective. From team structure, responsibilities, and dependencies to delivery speed and alignment with long-term goals, we cover the entire delivery process to provide you with valuable insights.

Technical Risk and Investment Readiness Assessment

Our experienced specialists focus on existing and potential risks that can impact your system’s stability and deal success. We prioritize all the uncovered issues, constraints, and maturity gaps to ensure smart resource allocation.

Multi-Year Modernization Roadmap

We don’t stop at the pre-deal fix list. We define a phased modernization plan for the next 2–3 years: which components to refactor, where to break the monolith into services, , the database and cloud-readiness moves, and the sequence that keeps releases stable. A roadmap the new owner can execute without stalling delivery.

Technology Due Diligence for Buyers and Sellers

Our technology diligence services cover both sides of the deal, enabling buyers to invest with a full understanding of the system, and sellers to detect and address issues that would lower the price.

Discuss Your Due Diligence Needs //

    Buy-Side Technology Due Diligence:

  • List icon

    Evaluate the underlying technology — compare actual system capabilities with the seller’s statements about performance, scalability, and security

  • List icon

    Identify the technical debt and AI-generated code — highlight areas that can complicate maintenance and slow down the engineering process, even if code passes linters

  • List icon

    Сheck the licences and third-party dependencies — make sure that there are no terms that restrict how you can use, scale, or sell the product

  • List icon

    Detect knowledge silos — examine how expertise is distributed inside the team and assess the risk of disruption in case a critical knowledge holder leaves the team after the deal

  • List icon

    Estimate maintenance costs and resources for required improvements — strengthen your negotiation position and build a more accurate post-acquisition plan

    Sell-Side Technology Due Diligence:

  • List icon

    Prioritize tasks to get ready for the deal — decide what issues to address before going to market and what to include in the remediation plan

  • List icon

    Enhance technical documentation — provide a relevant, detailed description of the system’s architecture, dependencies, and setup specifics to minimize the number of open questions during the technical review

  • List icon

    Make critical knowledge accessible — document essentials known only to several team members to eliminate the buyer’s concerns related to key-person dependency

  • List icon

    Prove the system’s growth potential with measured evidence — deployment frequency, change failure rate, and recovery time

  • List icon

    Ensure your operational continuity during audit — we work inside your Git and CI/CD with minimal interference

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Technical due diligence services are needed to get a multi-dimensional, unbiased assessment of your system’s health. If you’re planning an important M&A or investment decision, or going to scale, such a service will help you understand your system’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as identify ongoing issues and potential risks.

    Technical due diligence is similar to a traditional software audit that covers business context review, code base and architectural evaluation, security, infrastructure, and operational assessment. In addition, you’ll get a team and delivery process review and an investment risk analysis with expert recommendations.

    Absolutely. Software due diligence is one of the most crucial preparation steps before such an important decision. It’ll help you not just better understand what lies behind your software, but also implement the necessary improvements early in the process and maximize your company’s value before the deal.

    We follow a two-phase approach. First, we conduct an engineering due diligence and provide you with a comprehensive, buyer-focused report. It includes key findings, ranked by their deal impact, and expert recommendations.
    The second step is optional. We can cover all your modernization needs to maximize your company’s valuation and strengthen your market position.

    You’ll get a detailed, well-structured, clear report that includes all the technical insights on software quality and a prioritized list of risks. It should be backed by a business-focused explanation that highlights how the technical environment can impact valuation and deal results.
