Tech DD
A 122-question technology diligence across eight domains, scored 1-5 against written maturity anchors and gated on supporting artifacts — so a diligence answer is only as strong as the evidence attached to it.
Mapped, monitored, and audit-ready.
Every Tech DD control has a place in Talarity — with cross-mapping, automated evidence, and continuous validation.
Talarity's pre-built control library covering Tech DD, with linked evidence, owners, and testing schedules.
Answer once, prove everywhere. Talarity's mapping engine reuses your evidence across every framework you run.
- Cloud and infrastructure inventory
- Vulnerability scanner output
- SDLC and change-management records
- Incident history and post-incident reviews
- Technology spend and contract inventory
Your Tech DD dashboard
Every completed Tech DD assessment updates this automatically — where you stand now, how that has changed, and which areas need work.
What gets easier with Talarity.
Diligence answers are assertions in a spreadsheet with nothing behind them.
Each question is gated on artifacts: a maturity claim above the baseline cannot be recorded without the evidence that supports it.
Every investor asks the same questions in a different format.
One assessment, exported to the format each party wants, with the underlying evidence attached rather than re-gathered.
The findings arrive as a PDF and die there.
Gaps become tracked remediation items with owners and dates, so the hundred-day plan starts from the diligence rather than beside it.
Tech DD — common questions
- What are the eight domains?
- Service operations; applications, data and reporting; hosting and infrastructure; cybersecurity; technology spend and roadmap; technology organisation; product and SDLC; and the cross-cutting governance questions that sit with them.
- How is it scored?
- Each question is scored 1-5 against written maturity anchors rather than a yes/no, and the score is gated on supporting artifacts so a high claim requires proof.
- Can the target complete it themselves?
- Yes. The assessment can be shared with the target organisation, who complete it and attach their own evidence; the investor sees the responses and the artifacts together.
Working with Tech DD
Step-by-step walkthroughs from the Talarity library.
- Compliance·8 min readPackage your audit evidence once — for the auditor, regulator, or customerAn auditor asks for your evidence and it's scattered across framework reports, vendor attestations, policy sign-offs, and resilience tests. Evidence Distribution Packages assemble the signed artifacts you already produced into one immutable package, then hand it to each audience as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy — with a record of who received what.
- Compliance·7 min readFramework readiness to audit package — the whole cycle on one screenAudit prep usually means a spreadsheet scramble — chasing evidence, tracking which controls are covered, re-checking what's expired. Talarity keeps a live readiness picture for every framework (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS, and more) — coverage, gaps, evidence freshness — and packages it into an auditor-ready export in one click.
- Compliance·7 min readContinuous compliance is a tooling problem, not a process problemEvery compliance program eventually decides it needs to be 'continuous.' Most then try to fix it with process. The actual fix is upstream — in the tools that make evidence freshness a default, not a sprint.
- Compliance·14 min readThe evidence nobody can deleteA legal hold is a promise that a specific piece of evidence will still exist months from now, made to people who will check. This is where you place one in Talarity, what the record has to survive, and — just as important — what a hold does not freeze.
