Private Equity
MakeCloud is the AWS Advanced Services Partner Private Equity firms trust for technical due diligence, stabilisation, and governance.
AWS Technical Due Diligence
As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, we provide Private Equity firms, specialist insight that general due diligence reviews tend to miss.
What does a technical due diligence assessment by MakeCloud include?
- AWS security posture and operational risk
- Cloud cost optimisation and spending efficiency
- Identity and access management (IAM)
- Governance and compliance
- Infrastructure resilience and disaster recovery
- Operational maturity
- Privileged account and key-person dependency risks
- Estimated cost, effort, and timeline for remediation
The goal of an AWS due diligence assessment is to identify technical risks, estimate remediation costs, and arm investors with what they need to decide, before signing.
How can AWS due diligence reduce investment risk?
Surfacing security vulnerabilities, governance gaps, technical debt, and inefficient architecture before close gives you the true cost of ownership. It sharpens valuation, strengthens negotiating position, and hands the post-acquisition plan a head start.
