IT due diligence is a process designed to find a clear and complete picture of the quality of any company's IT capabilities. Before finalizing a merger, an acquisition or an investment in any company, it is best to understand the IT and cybersecurity posture.

The first question an investor should ask is, "as of today, how is the target company's IT and cybersecurity landscape?"

There are four areas of assessment in the current IT landscape of any company, namely – IT systems, IT infrastructure, IT organizational scenario and IT process evaluation.
