Overview

When an M&A advisor needed a trusted partner to evaluate the technology risks in a MedTech acquisition, they turned to us. The target was an innovative remote medical monitoring company, integrating custom hardware and centralized health data platforms.

While the financials looked solid, the tech stack told a more complex story. Over a three-week diagnostic, our team performed a comprehensive technical due diligence assessment flagging issues that could’ve cost millions post-acquisition.

Key Questions We Answered

Is the R&D team right-sized for growth and innovation?
Are there HIPAA or InfoSec compliance gaps?
How scalable is the existing tech stack and infrastructure?
Are there risks tied to hardware dependencies or vendor lock-in?
How much technical debt exists and what’s the cost to fix it?

Our Technical Due Diligence Process

Our structured Tech DD methodology included:

Stakeholder interviews with engineering, compliance, and product teams

Analysis of software architecture, cloud infrastructure, and source code

Hardware component review and supply chain evaluation

HIPAA and data privacy compliance audit

Technical risk scoring across 10+ critical categories including:

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Information Security
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Product Management & Support Readiness
Data & Process Debt

The Outcome

Our findings directly influenced:

Deal valuation adjustments
A revised integration plan for post-acquisition scaling
A targeted 100-day action plan for remediation and compliance alignment
Greater confidence in the go/no-go decision

The advisor and their client avoided costly blind spots, saving time, money, and operational headaches.
