Why Independent Due Diligence Matters

Technology risk is often misunderstood by non-technical investors. An independent CTO assessment surfaces problems that management teams may understate and highlights genuine strengths that deserve valuation credit.

With deep experience in regulated SaaS environments, including healthcare, NHS-adjacent and ISO 27001 / SOC 2 certified platforms, I can assess both the technical and compliance dimensions of a target business.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does technical due diligence take?

A thorough technical due diligence engagement typically runs 2–4 weeks depending on the complexity of the platform and the level of access provided. Compressed timelines can be accommodated for live deal processes.

Do you work under NDA?

Yes. All engagements are covered by a mutual non-disclosure agreement before any sensitive information is shared.

Can you also advise post-investment?

Yes. Many investors commission a due diligence assessment and then retain me as a Fractional CTO post-investment to execute on the findings.
