IT Due Diligence for M&A Transactions

When your clients face an acquisition, investment, or merger, you need more than a spreadsheet. ITOptik gives MSPs and vCISOs a complete IT due diligence platform — the same methodology used by dedicated DD firms, now available to you.

A $30K–$75K Engagement You're Currently Leaving on the Table

PE firms are acquiring SMBs at record pace. Every deal requires IT due diligence — assessing the target company's technology infrastructure, security posture, compliance status, and technical debt. Today, that work goes to specialized DD firms who walk in cold, charge premium rates, and deliver reports weeks later.

But MSPs and vCISOs often know the target's environment better than anyone. You've managed their infrastructure, reviewed their policies, and handled their incidents. ITOptik gives you the platform to formalize that knowledge into the structured, scored deliverables that PE firms and acquirers expect — and capture the revenue that currently goes elsewhere.

You Already Know the Environment. Now Prove It.

Most DD firms walk into an engagement cold — they've never seen the target's environment. MSPs and vCISOs who already manage or advise the target company have an unfair advantage: institutional knowledge. ITOptik lets you formalize that knowledge into the structured, scored deliverables that PE firms and acquirers expect.

Institutional Knowledge

You know the environment, the history, the skeletons in the closet. ITOptik turns that into documented, scored evidence.

Trusted Relationship

The target company already trusts you. Evidence collection that takes DD firms weeks takes you days.

Ongoing Value

After the deal closes, you're positioned as the go-to advisor for integration and remediation. One engagement becomes an ongoing relationship.
