Technical Due Diligence in the UAE
An independent, senior review of a company’s technology before you invest, acquire or partner — architecture, code, security, team and costs — with clear risks, red flags and a remediation plan.
When you need technical due diligence
- Before a seed, Series A or later investment.
- Before acquiring or merging with a technology company.
- Before signing a large platform or vendor contract.
- When a product is slowing down and you need an honest outside view.
- Before a major re-platforming or AI investment.
- When preparing your own company for investor questions.

Frequently asked questions
How long does technical due diligence take?
Typically one to three weeks, depending on the depth of the review and how quickly access is provided.
What do we receive?
An executive summary for decision-makers, a detailed findings report with risk ratings, a list of red flags, and a prioritised remediation plan with rough effort estimates.
Is the review confidential?
Yes. Reviews run under NDA, and access is limited to what the review needs.
Can you review our own company before we raise?
Yes. A pre-investment readiness review helps you find and fix issues before investors do.
Who is the report written for?
Investors, acquirers, boards and founders. It is written so non-technical decision-makers can act on it, with technical detail in the appendix.
