Technology risk doesn't surface at closing. It surfaces after.
TinBOX provides independent technology, security, and privacy due diligence across the full deal lifecycle — for buyers evaluating targets, and sellers preparing for scrutiny. One team, one deliverable, no vendor coordination.
Full Diligence Package
Technology and security due diligence in one coordinated engagement. We cover the complete stack — architecture, code quality, technical debt, and scalability — alongside a comprehensive security posture review, open vulnerability assessment, and compliance gap analysis. You receive a unified diligence report and a prioritized risk register with post-close remediation costs. Not two vendor deliverables that don't reference each other.
- Technology stack depth review with tech debt quantification
- Security posture assessment and open vulnerability identification
- Third-party and vendor dependency risk
- Compliance representation verification
- Prioritized risk register with remediation cost estimates
- Management-ready summary and full technical report

6 engagementsPre-LOI through post-close
Pre-LOI Technical Screening
Before the term sheet, you need signal on whether the target is worth pursuing. We conduct a rapid technology and security screen — architecture overview, code quality indicators, key vendor dependencies, and obvious structural red flags — and deliver a go/no-go brief with rough remediation cost estimates. Fast and fixed.
- Architecture and infrastructure overview
- Code quality and tech debt indicators
- Critical vendor and dependency concentration
- Security red flag identification
- Go/no-go brief with preliminary risk cost range
Technology Due Diligence
A full-depth assessment of the target's technology stack: architecture decisions, code quality, technical debt burden, engineering organization depth, infrastructure dependencies, and scalability constraints. We answer the question every buyer needs answered — what does it actually cost to keep this running, and where are the landmines.
- Architecture and scalability assessment
- Code quality and technical debt quantification
- Engineering team capacity and key-person risk
- Infrastructure, cloud, and vendor concentration
- Build vs. buy and modernization cost estimates
Security & Cyber Due Diligence
We assess the target's security posture the way an adversary would: open vulnerabilities, identity and access controls, endpoint management, incident history, and third-party risk exposure. Our output includes a prioritized risk register and a post-close remediation roadmap with estimated costs.
- Security posture and control maturity assessment
- Vulnerability identification and exposure analysis
- Identity, access, and endpoint management review
- Incident history and breach disclosure review
- Third-party and supply chain risk surface
Privacy & Data Due Diligence
For targets that collect or process personal data, we assess privacy program maturity, map data flows and regulatory exposure, and evaluate compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and applicable frameworks. Regulatory liability is rarely on the LOI. We make sure it's on the table before close.
- Data inventory and data flow mapping
- Privacy program maturity assessment
- GDPR, CCPA, and multi-jurisdiction exposure analysis
- Consent management and data subject rights review
- Regulatory liability quantification
Compliance Representation Review
Sellers often represent certifications and compliance posture that deserve scrutiny. We evaluate the gap between what the target claims and what they can actually demonstrate — SOC 2 reports, ISO 27001 or CMMC attestations, HIPAA program documentation. Misrepresentation risk, surfaced before you sign.
- SOC 2 report review and controls verification
- ISO 27001 and CMMC attestation validation
- HIPAA program documentation assessment
- Gap between represented and actual compliance posture
- Remediation cost estimate for identified gaps
Integration Planning
Post-close, two organizations need to become one technology environment. We build the integration roadmap before Day 1: system consolidation plan, security stack unification, identity and access management, team structure recommendations, and a sequenced 90-day execution plan. Planning at the same time you're operating is how integrations fail.
- Systems and application consolidation roadmap
- Security and identity stack unification plan
- Data migration and retention strategy
- Engineering team and org structure recommendations
- Sequenced 90-day Day 1 execution plan
Sell-Side Services
2 engagementsFor founders and operators preparing for acquisition
Seller-Side Technology Readiness
Buyers will scrutinize your stack. We assess your architecture, technical debt, and scalability story before they do — and help you prepare the technical narrative that supports your valuation. No surprises in the data room. We identify what buyers will flag and give you time to address it or frame it on your terms.
- Architecture and infrastructure assessment through a buyer's lens
- Technical debt quantification and remediation prioritization
- Scalability and growth capacity narrative
- Engineering team strength and key-person risk analysis
- Data room technology documentation preparation
Seller-Side Security & Compliance Prep
Buyer security questionnaires are getting longer and more specific. We assess your current posture, close the obvious gaps, organize your compliance evidence, and prepare your team to answer technical security questions confidently. One round of surprises is one too many — and discovered vulnerabilities after the LOI are a negotiating liability you don't need.
- Security posture assessment and gap remediation prioritization
- Compliance evidence organization and documentation
- Security questionnaire response preparation
- Incident history review and disclosure framing
- CISO-level technical briefing preparation for buyer meetings
Diligence reveals the work. We can stay to do it.
Most diligence engagements surface exactly what needs to happen post-close — remediation priorities, integration sequencing, compliance gaps to close. Many clients move directly from diligence into an Advisory Retainer so the same team that found the issues can own the roadmap to resolve them. There's no ramp-up, no knowledge transfer, and no translation layer between what was discovered and what gets fixed.
The Advisory Retainer puts fractional CTO, CISO, CPO, and CIO capacity on your team on an ongoing basis — strategy, oversight, and execution support in the same engagement.
