Technical Diligence & Software Assessments
Mile26 advises seed level to Fortune 100 companies on software & technology.
M&A & Investor Due Diligence
It is essential for acquirers and investors in technology companies to understand how well the tech supports their deal thesis and identify risks that may derail progress unless mitigated.
Internal Assessments
Intractable technical problem? Aging, brittle code? Development velocity too slow? Moving to the cloud? Preparing for an investment or sale? Need a third-party opinion? Mile26 can help - with these and more.
Compliance
Mile26 offers a range of services for technology driven compliance regimes including gap analysis, audit preparation, and complete audits. Example regimes include GDPR, SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPPA, and FERPA.
Assessment Areas & Services
Mile26 services are customized for each client's specific needs. The areas below are common components.
Architecture & Implementation
A deep dive into how the product is designed, built and operated.
Development Best Practices
How does the development team (and adjacent resources) build and deliver products to customers?
Security, Privacy, & Compliance
Most of the operational risk for a tech company exists here. Is the product designed, implemented and operated securely? Is sensitive data adequately protected? Does the company and product demonstrate compliance with applicable regimes?
Third-Party & Open Source Software
Modern software is typically between 50-90% third-party code. This is appropriate but comes with security, licensing, and maintenance risk.
Accessibility
Are the products usable by individuals with physical impairments (e.g. motor control, vision, and hearing)? Does it conform to WCAG 2?
Remediation & Integration
Ensure that issues are remediated within transaction timelines - e.g. pre-close for M&A. Get a head-start on post-close integration.
Custom Software Development
Supplement your team; Scale up/down; build a new product.
