When you are evaluating a health-tech investment or acquisition, the technology and compliance risk is often the part your team can least afford to get wrong — and the part a generalist DD firm misses. Taction Software provides healthcare-specialized technology due diligence for VC firms, PE deal teams, and corporate acquirers: architecture and code-quality review, compliance and security assessment, scalability and team evaluation, and a risk-rated report your deal committee can act on — typically in two to three weeks, with expedited turnaround available.

What We Evaluate
Architecture & Technical Foundation
Architecture quality and scalability, technology stack maturity, technical debt, and cloud / infrastructure cost efficiency — whether the platform can carry the thesis or will need expensive rebuilding.
Code Quality
Code review and quality metrics, test coverage, security practices, and documentation — what the codebase actually is beneath the demo.
Compliance & Risk
HIPAA and SOC 2 status (and any other frameworks the target should hold), a BAA inventory, penetration test history, and security incident history — drawing on our HIPAA risk assessment, SOC 2, penetration testing, and security audit expertise.
Team & Operational Readiness
Engineering team strength, operational maturity, vendor and tool dependencies, and key-person risk — because the team and operations are as much of the asset as the code.
Deliverables
You receive: an executive summary for the deal committee, a risk-rated findings report, remediation effort and cost estimates, a technology investment thesis validation, and a red-flag inventory — written for investors making a decision, not engineers reading a manual.
Engagement Types
We support pre-term-sheet due diligence, pre-close confirmatory diligence, portfolio company tech audits (post-investment), and bolt-on acquisition tech assessments — matching the depth to where you are in the deal.
Why Healthcare-Specialized Tech DD Matters
Healthcare-Specific Compliance Risks
HIPAA exposure, missing BAAs, and unaddressed security obligations are liabilities a generalist DD will not weight correctly — and they can change valuation or kill a deal.
Integration Complexity Buyers Often Miss
Healthcare products live or die on EHR and data integration. We assess the real integration footprint and its fragility, which buyers routinely underestimate.
Regulatory Roadmap Impact
Looming requirements — interoperability rules, certification, FDA considerations — can impose major near-term cost. We surface them so they are priced into the deal.
Clinical Workflow Reality vs. Demo
A polished demo is not proof clinicians will use the product. We assess clinical-workflow fit and adoption reality, not the sales narrative.
Timeline & Engagement Model
Standard Turnaround: 2–3 Weeks
Most diligence completes in two to three weeks, matched to deal timelines.
Expedited (1 Week) Available
When a deal is moving fast, we offer expedited one-week turnaround.
Document Review + Stakeholder Interviews + Tech Demos
We combine document and code review, stakeholder interviews, and technical demos to form an evidence-based view rather than a paper one.
Confidentiality & Independence
NDA-First Engagement
Every engagement starts with an NDA. Discretion is a given in deal work.
No Conflicts with Target Company
We confirm we have no conflicts with the target before engaging, so our findings are credible to your committee.
Independent Findings
Our findings are independent and honest — including the inconvenient ones. That independence is the entire value of diligence, and we protect it even though we also do build work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a tech DD take?
Two to three weeks for a standard engagement, with expedited one-week turnaround available when the deal requires it. We scope to your close date in the first call.
What about confidentiality?
We work NDA-first and confirm we have no conflict with the target before we engage. Deal information stays confidential, and our findings go only to you.
Will you remediate post-close?
Yes, if you want us to — through portfolio-company tech work, modernization, or a fractional CTO engagement. We keep that separate from the diligence itself so the findings remain independent and honest. See our software modernization practice.
Do you support international diligence?
Yes. We assess targets outside the US as well, accounting for the relevant data-protection and regulatory regimes alongside the technical evaluation.
