Cyber Due Diligence Built for Operational Decisions

Risk insight for better transaction planning

Discovery Review

Know the Environment

FITECH begins with a focused discovery phase to understand the target environment, systems, users, vendors, infrastructure, and operational goals. This includes reviewing IT support models, cloud and backup posture, network dependencies, endpoint coverage, and key business applications.

The outcome is a clearer baseline for transaction decisions, with findings organized around practical risk, operational impact, and post-close priorities.

Security Controls

Prioritize Security Risk

Security control review helps identify where cyber exposure may affect the transaction or future operating model. FITECH assesses areas such as managed firewalls, endpoint protection, patching, Microsoft 365 administration, access controls, data loss prevention, mobile device management, and backup practices.

Findings are framed in business terms so stakeholders can understand severity, ownership, and the likely path to remediation.

Systems Mapping

Connect Systems and Data

M&A diligence often uncovers fragmented systems, duplicated tools, unclear ownership, or access dependencies that complicate integration. FITECH evaluates how core platforms, cloud services, ERP systems, accounting workflows, lease administration processes, and support tools connect across the organization.

This cross-functional lens helps reveal risks that pure technical scans can miss, especially where cyber, data, and operations overlap.

Infrastructure Risk

Assess Infrastructure Fit

Infrastructure risk can create hidden cost and disruption after close. FITECH reviews networks, servers, connectivity, cloud hosting, backups, structured cabling dependencies, and building-level technology where relevant to the transaction scope.

The assessment helps determine whether the inherited environment can support business continuity, user access, security expectations, and integration planning without relying on disconnected assumptions.

Remediation Plan

Plan Remediation Work

Due diligence is most valuable when findings translate into action. FITECH prioritizes cyber and technology issues based on urgency, operational impact, dependency, and integration sequence. Recommendations may include endpoint stabilization, access cleanup, firewall changes, backup improvements, cloud administration updates, or support model changes.

The roadmap is built to help teams fix root causes rather than manage symptoms after the transaction.

Integration Support

Support Post-Close Action

Post-close integration requires more than a list of technical risks. FITECH helps convert diligence findings into a sustainable technology roadmap that aligns IT, security, ERP, accounting operations, lease administration, connectivity, and support needs.

With a global delivery model and long-term client relationships spanning 10 to 20+ years, FITECH supports continuity from assessment through implementation.

Turn Cyber Risk Into Transaction Clarity

M&A cyber due diligence should do more than identify technical issues. It should show how technology risk may affect operations, people, systems, buildings, vendors, data, and post-close execution.

FITECH approaches each review through a discovery phase that connects cybersecurity with business systems, ERP platforms, cloud environments, endpoints, network infrastructure, and support models. The result is a practical view of risk that helps you separate urgent liabilities from manageable improvements.

Instead of treating cybersecurity as a standalone checklist, the assessment is aligned with business, operations, and technology strategies so the transaction team can make informed decisions with clearer priorities.

A Practical Review of the Technology You May Inherit

A stronger diligence process looks across the full technology environment, not just security tools. FITECH evaluates cyber exposure through an operational lens, helping you understand what is inherited, what needs remediation, and what may affect integration planning.

Endpoint protection and device management posture
Microsoft 365, cloud hosting, and backup considerations
Managed firewall, network, and connectivity review
ERP and business system access dependencies
Support model, vendor, and help desk maturity
Data protection, encryption, and user access controls

Move From Findings to a Post-Close Roadmap

The value of diligence increases when findings can become action. FITECH translates assessment results into a remediation roadmap that supports negotiations, integration planning, and operational continuity after close.

Recommendations are tailored to the environment, not packaged from a generic template. That may include stabilizing identity and access controls, improving endpoint protection, reviewing backup readiness, aligning support processes, or preparing ERP and cloud systems for integration.

With a vertically integrated service platform spanning IT, security, ERP consulting, accounting support, lease administration, smart infrastructure, and connectivity, FITECH helps identify root causes rather than symptoms.
