Case Study: Kearney de-risks platform acquisition with CAST

Kearney completes technical due diligence in less than 10 days with CAST

Kearney, a global consulting firm, faced a challenge when a client sought to acquire a European HR Tech company. They needed to assess the target platform's robustness and integration risks for technical due diligence without direct access to its fiercely guarded source code. The firm enlisted CAST, using CAST Highlight and CAST Imaging, to conduct this confidential assessment.

CAST performed an automated, on-premises analysis of the full codebase, quantifying risks and mapping the architecture without the source code leaving the client's environment. This allowed Kearney to deliver a comprehensive report in just two weeks with minimal target staff involvement. The results showed the platform's health in the top quartile of benchmarks with low overall risk, providing Kearney's client with an itemized, prioritized action plan to inform the acquisition decision.
