For sure, there's a basic amount of stuff that you should always be doing:
- Employee agreements
- Updated financials (potentially get them audited once a year)
- Insurance paperwork
- etc.
There's no reason you should ever not have those things.
But there's other stuff that can creep in - for example, we were using a variety of perl modules in our software. We had made sure from a policy perspective that all of the modules were in CPAN and licensed apporpriately. But during DD they wanted us to identify every module, and provide them with a copy of the license for every single module.
They wanted to see a written DR plan, and a list of business operational risks, both personnel and office-wise.
Just two examples of the sorts of things that can come up in DD that probably aren't worth doing day 1.
- ojilles 12y agoHaving been on the other side, one can always ask for the DR plan, half expecting the seller side not to have it. Then you know where they stand (which is the objective of DD anyways). So not having the answers is in my opinion okay, depending on the topic.
