Evaluate the technology
before you inherit the risk.
Technology debt, legacy unpatched servers, and unrecorded SaaS liabilities directly erode post-close EBITDA. Fluid’s specialized M&A technology audit delivers deal-ready cost modeling within 5 to 10 business days.
What Fluid evaluates during pre-acquisition diligence:
Cybersecurity Posture
Active threat detection, EDR/MDR telemetry, patch status, and vulnerability scanning.
Infrastructure & Server Debt
Age, end-of-life OS platforms, SAN/NAS storage health, and server hardware depreciation.
Identity & Access Management
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), MFA enforcement, domain controller health, and offboarding rules.
Cloud & Tenant Architecture
Azure & AWS cloud configuration, tenant ownership security, and cloud capex optimization.
SaaS Stack & License Compliance
Shadow IT software usage, license seat over-provisioning, and legacy software agreements.

Itemized 100-day capital expenditure requirements formatted directly for deal modeling.
