Fixed-fee technical due diligence and underwriting-grade software risk assessments for investors, acquirers, brokers and underwriters. Delivered in 48–72 hours.
Who it's for
When a target company's software is a black box, Polaris turns technical risk into a clear investment view — before exclusivity expires.
Fast turnaround, fixed scope, and a report that feeds directly into deal decision-making without assembling a full advisory team.
Independent, code-backed software risk analysis to support cyber underwriting decisions — beyond what questionnaires reveal.
Understand the real state of your software estate ahead of a sale, funding round, or compliance review.
What we deliver
Each engagement produces a structured, investor-readable report grounded in source code analysis — not questionnaires or interviews.
Rapid codebase assessment for M&A transactions. Understand what you're buying before you commit.
Software risk assessment for brokers and underwriters placing or renewing cyber cover.
