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·9 min readControl testing end to end — from a written procedure to a verified fixFollow one control through the whole testing cycle: a versioned procedure, a population sampled with a reproducible draw, an effectiveness test that cites the sample it used, an exception raised when the control does not hold, and a fix verified by someone other than the person who made it.
- 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·10 min readBuild your own assessment — scored, evidence-gated and versioned from the first saveTurn the questionnaire your team keeps in a spreadsheet into a Talarity assessment: import it, add framework questions from the Question Pool, weight what matters, require evidence, publish, share it with child organizations, give it an owner and a review date, and run it against a linked account.
