Diligence you can trust, and a program ready at close.
Targets tend to answer diligence questionnaires optimistically. TruOps checks their answers against the documents they provide and carries the findings into the post-close program.

Day-one gaps
Found in the data room, priced for the deal model
| Gap | Severity | Cost to close |
|---|---|---|
| No MFA on admin accounts | Critical | $40K |
| No tested backups | High | $120K |
| SOC 2 lapsed in 2025 | Medium | $90K |
| Vendor list incomplete | Medium | $15K |
TruOps sends security and compliance due diligence questionnaires to targets through a guest portal, checks their answers against the documents they provide, and flags contradictions and gaps as findings. After close, it sets up the acquired company's environment from its own documents with the diligence findings already in its register.
The problem
Diligence questionnaires get answered under deal pressure and rarely checked, and the findings get lost between signing and integration.
The challenge
Diligence questionnaires tend to be optimistic. Check them against the files in the data room before you rely on them. After close, those findings should flow into a working program.
- Nobody compared the answers with the SOC 2 in the data room.
- Day-one GRC is either a year-long implementation or nothing.
- The parent can't see into the new entity without forcing it into the parent's program.
What you're probably using today
Deal teams use a virtual data room and a security questionnaire, and integration often uses a different tool or none at all.
| What you use now | Where it falls short | With TruOps |
|---|---|---|
| A data room full of unchecked security PDFs | Nobody checks the answers against the documents. | Questionnaire answers are compared with the files provided, and contradictions become findings that carry over after close. |
| Spreadsheets, shared drives, and email | Your program lives in folders named after last year's audit. Owners paste screenshots the week before fieldwork, and nothing is dated, so you can't show what was true last quarter. | Upload those same files. TruOps pre-fills the assessment from them, cites every answer, and keeps technical checks running so you have evidence for the whole period. |
| A new GRC instance after every deal, or none at all | You can't see into the acquired company for a year. | Set up an isolated environment from their documents, with diligence findings already in the register. |

Questions
Can TruOps be used before a deal closes?
Yes. You can invite targets as guests to answer diligence questionnaires.
Do we have to rip out the tools we already use?
No. TruOps connects to your cloud, identity, endpoint, vulnerability, and code tools. Spreadsheets, prior reports, and policies upload into the Data Room. If you're moving from a SOC 2 automation tool or an enterprise GRC suite, you bring over your frameworks, evidence, vendors, and risks.
Can we bring our existing assessments, control lists, and vendor files?
Yes. Upload workbooks, reports, policies, and vendor exports. TruOps turns them into structured questionnaires, controls, and risks, each linked to the file it came from, for you to review.
