Due Diligence
Our Due Diligence services provide in-depth analyses of your IT infrastructure and processes. We examine system landscapes, security standards, and technology architectures, uncover risks and optimization potentials, and identify hidden vulnerabilities. This supports transactions, secures company value, and minimizes M&A risks. Our data-based approach creates comprehensive transparency, increases company value, and paves the way for smooth transactions.

With our in-depth expertise, we ensure that your IT transactions run smoothly and create long-term value.
Our IT/Tech Due Diligence includes a comprehensive analysis of a company’s entire IT infrastructure, software architectures, and security concepts. Using state-of-the-art analysis tools and proven testing procedures, we examine system architectures, network security, data integrity, compliance standards, and scalability aspects in detail. Our team of experts identifies critical vulnerabilities, technological risks, and optimization potentials that are essential for M&A transactions and strategic investment decisions.
Through well-founded reports and precise recommendations for action, we create maximum transparency and support you in optimally leveraging technological opportunities and sustainably minimizing risks. In this way, we increase company value and lay a solid foundation for future growth.
As part of the Valuation & Due Diligence for IT Targets, we specifically analyze the economic and technological key figures of potential IT companies. Our experts evaluate the quality of IT systems, software solutions, and innovation potentials using rigorous evaluation methods and benchmarking approaches. Both financial analyses and technical assessments are incorporated into our decision-making bases. This detailed evaluation identifies hidden value drivers and risks that can significantly influence the transaction price.
Our precise analyses provide you, as an investor or buyer, with a reliable decision-making basis, minimizing acquisition risks and securing long-term value creation potentials – especially in a dynamic market environment.
Technology and software-driven business models are increasingly determining international M&A activities and are contributing a continuously growing value in transactions and deals. At the same time, decision-makers and M&A professionals are increasingly facing the challenge of identifying the right technologies for their specific use case and drawing the appropriate conclusions for the business case from the multitude of technologies and possibilities.
At digatus, we accompany you with our many years of international experience in technology and software-heavy transactions. Whether for strategists, private equity, or (corporate) venture capital investors – we act as your trusted partner. Our methodology combines proven analyses with automated tool frameworks, particularly in software due diligence.
Compared to classic IT due diligence, the focus is even more comprehensively on the individual technological characteristics of the target, as well as their ability to successfully realize the expected value contributions. Particularly in cases of investments in early-stage and fast-growing technology companies and software startups, a reliable decision-making basis for the deployed software technology is of great importance.
As a result of our due diligence, you receive clear statements and reliable assessments of the KPIs relevant to your transaction. Depending on the type of investment and target company, various components can be selected for consideration, which are then reflected in the report. In this way, we create a solid foundation for you to assess value enhancement potentials, scaling ambitions, as well as technological, commercial, or technical risks in a well-founded manner.
