What we cover

Cyber, technology and IT due diligence for the deal

Three diligence lines, commonly commissioned together for a full pre-acquisition view, each scoped to the deal with its indicative price printed before you enquire.

What is cyber due diligence?

Cyber due diligence is an independent read on the security risk inside a target you are acquiring, investing in or selling: its posture, incident history, data protection and third-party exposure, and what it would cost to put right after completion. It sits alongside technology due diligence, which examines the product, code and engineering team, and IT due diligence, which sizes the infrastructure, licensing and integration cost in the estate. All three run buy-side and sell-side, land as a red-amber-green report the deal team can act on, and carry an indicative price published up front. Every engagement is delivered in-house by CyPro's 3DD practice; see how it runs.

How we work

A straight account of how we run due diligence

No quote-only wall and no borrowed logos on the report itself. Here is the 3DD methodology, the buy-side and sell-side coverage, the red-amber-green reporting and the published pricing that set this service apart.

The 3DD methodology, delivered in-house

3DD is CyPro's own due-diligence methodology, applied by the same practice from scoping to sign-off. Cyber, technology and IT diligence run to a repeatable structure rather than an ad hoc review, and the work stays inside CyPro rather than being passed to a third party.

Buy-side and sell-side coverage

On the buy-side we give acquirers and their advisers an independent read on the risk they are taking on. On the sell-side we prepare vendors for the questions a buyer will ask, so issues are found and framed before a counterparty finds them. Sell-side runs as a defined part of the engagement, not a separate service.

Frequently asked questions

What is cyber due diligence?

Cyber due diligence is an independent assessment of the cyber security risk inside a business that is being acquired, invested in or sold. It looks at the target's security posture, breach and incident history, data protection, third-party and supply-chain exposure, and what it would cost to bring the risk to an acceptable level after completion.

The output is a deal-ready report that tells the acquirer where the risk sits, how serious it is and how it should shape the price, the warranties and the first hundred days of ownership. CyPro delivers it in-house through its 3DD practice.

How a cyber due diligence engagement runs

What is technology due diligence?

Technology due diligence assesses the product, code, architecture and engineering capability of a target. It examines whether the technology can scale, how much technical debt is carried, whether the roadmap is credible, and how dependent the business is on a small number of key people.

It usually includes cyber security as one component, which is why acquirers often commission cyber, technology and IT diligence together for a full pre-acquisition view. Each is reported against the same red-amber-green structure.

Technology due diligence for investors and acquirers

What are the four types of due diligence?

In an acquisition the four commonly cited strands are financial, legal, commercial and technical due diligence. Financial diligence tests the numbers, legal diligence tests contracts and liabilities, commercial diligence tests the market and revenue, and technical diligence tests the technology and cyber risk that underpins the business.

Cyber, technology and IT due diligence all sit within that technical strand. They answer a different question from the financial and legal work: not what the business is worth on paper, but whether the technology and security that produce that value are sound.

See how the technical strand is scoped

What is the difference between CDD and VDD?

CDD, cyber due diligence, assesses the cyber security risk in a target. VDD, vendor due diligence, is a report a seller commissions on its own business to hand to prospective buyers, and in most of the market it refers to financial vendor due diligence produced by an accountancy firm.

The two are not alternatives. A cyber due diligence review can itself be run buy-side, for an acquirer, or sell-side, where a vendor commissions it ahead of a sale so the cyber position is understood and presented before a buyer raises it.
