What should typically be included in IT due diligence for M&A?
IT due diligence for M&A should cover several critical areas to ensure a smooth and secure transition, including:
- Infrastructure Assessment
-
- Reviewing hardware, networks, servers, and cloud environments
- Identifying outdated or unsupported systems that may require upgrades
- Software and Licensing
-
- Verifying software licenses, subscriptions, and compliance
- Checking for proprietary technology and intellectual property ownership
- Cybersecurity and Risk Assessment
-
- Conducting vulnerability assessments and penetration tests
- Reviewing security policies, incident history, and regulatory compliance
- Data Management Audit
-
- Evaluating data quality, storage systems, and backup processes
- Ensuring compliance with data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA)
- Integration Feasibility Analysis
-
- Assessing compatibility of systems and applications
- Identifying potential integration challenges and costs
- IT Resources and Processes
-
- Reviewing organizational structure, key personnel, and vendor contracts
- Evaluating IT governance, policies, and operational maturity
- Technology Debt Audit
-
- Estimating costs for upgrades, migrations, and ongoing maintenance
- Identifying hidden liabilities of legacy systems or unsupported platforms
When should I.T. due diligence be conducted in the M&A timeline?
IT due diligence should be conducted as early as possible in the M&A process, ideally during the initial due diligence phase before signing the deal (either during Pre-M&A Planning or Negotiations). This timing ensures that:
- Risks and liabilities are identified upfront (e.g., cybersecurity gaps, outdated systems, licensing issues).
- Integration planning can start early, reducing surprises during post-merger execution.
- Valuation reflects technology realities, avoiding overpayment for assets with hidden technical debt.
In practice, IT due diligence typically begins right after financial and legal due diligence starts and should be completed before finalizing the purchase agreement, so findings can influence negotiations.
