Based network inventory

Understand the technical and reputational risks. As part of due diligence, understand the viability, scalability, flexibility, financial position, regulatory compliance, market share and service qualifications of major suppliers of services, hardware and software. This includes a thorough review of third-party organizations -- such as vendors, customers and partners -- that connect to the acquired business via its extended enterprise. Failure to review the company's third-party relationships can impact security compliance and based network inventory.
