Talon
Technical Due Diligence in Minutes, Not Weeks
10 specialized analyzers scan code, patents, infrastructure, supply chains, and corporate intelligence — locally, with post-quantum encryption. Your source code never leaves the analysis environment.
The Problem
Traditional technical due diligence costs $75K–$200K, takes 3–4 weeks with a team of consultants, and still misses critical findings that surface after close. 40–60% of M&A synergies are linked to IT integration — yet technical risk is the least-examined dimension in most deals.
What Big 4 firms charge for manual technical due diligence on a single target.
Typical turnaround for a manual code review, infrastructure audit, and patent search.
Of expected M&A synergies linked to IT integration success — the dimension most often under-examined.
How Talon Works
Encrypt. Analyze. Report. Destroy. Four steps, fully automated.
What You Get
A cryptographically signed report covering six dimensions of technical risk. Every finding includes evidence, severity, and remediation guidance.
Security Findings
CVEs, code quality issues, hardcoded secrets, injection risks, and dependency vulnerabilities scored by exploitability (EPSS).
Supply Chain Analysis
Full dependency tree, license compliance, abandoned packages, and transitive vulnerability exposure.
IP & Patent Landscape
Prior art search, overlapping patents, freedom-to-operate assessment, and code-to-patent mapping.
Architecture Assessment
Complexity metrics, test coverage, design pattern analysis, and technical debt quantification.
Infrastructure Posture
DNS configuration, SSL/TLS status, exposed services, cloud configuration, and attack surface mapping.
Composite Risk Score
0–100 risk score combining all dimensions with a reasoning chain. Deterministic, reproducible, and defensible.
Proof: We Run Talon on Ourselves
Our strongest credibility signal is a live self-audit. Talon analyzed its own codebase — the same pipeline your targets will go through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Talon's technical due diligence platform.
What does Talon analyze?
Talon runs 10 specialized analyzers across source code, dependencies, patents, infrastructure, corporate records, and more. The output is a signed PDF report with a composite risk score (0–100), individual dimension scores, specific findings with severity ratings, and remediation guidance. See Platform Details for the full analyzer list.
How long does an analysis take?
Standard single-codebase analysis completes in under 24 hours. Full technical due diligence (code + patents + infrastructure + corporate intelligence) takes 48–72 hours. Enterprise engagements with custom scope follow SLA-based timelines.
How is target company data protected?
All processing is local — source code never leaves the analysis environment. Data is encrypted in transit with ML-KEM-768 + X25519 (NIST FIPS 203, post-quantum safe). Reports are signed with ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204). Raw submissions are cryptographically destroyed after analysis. Only the signed report persists. See Security Framework.
What does a Talon report look like?
A signed PDF with: executive summary, composite risk score (0–100), individual dimension scores (security, supply chain, IP, architecture, infrastructure), specific findings with severity and evidence, remediation roadmap with cost estimates, and a cryptographic signature chain. View a demonstration report in our Case Studies.
How is this different from a SaaS code scanner?
SaaS scanners (Snyk, Black Duck, FOSSA) cover one or two dimensions — usually dependency scanning and license compliance. Talon covers six dimensions including patent landscape, infrastructure posture, and corporate intelligence. More importantly: SaaS scanners process code in the cloud. Talon processes locally with zero data retention.
Can Talon handle classified or sensitive codebases?
Yes. Local-only processing, post-quantum encryption, zero retention, and signed reports make Talon suitable for defense procurement and classified environments. No data leaves the analysis infrastructure at any point.
What does it cost?
Standard (single codebase): from $5,000. Professional (full technical DD): from $25,000. Enterprise (dedicated instance, custom analyzers): custom pricing. See Pricing for details.
Is Talon SOC 2 certified?
SOC 2 Type I is targeted for Q3 2026, Type II for Q1 2027. Current controls include: least-privilege access, encrypted storage, audit logging, zero raw data retention, and cryptographic report signing. See Security Framework for the full compliance roadmap.
How do I get started?
