IT support, consultancy and M&A technology due diligence for private equity firms in Hong Kong
Private equity firms need two very different things from an IT partner: secure, confidential, audit-ready IT for the firm itself — and independent technology due diligence on the companies they are buying. PTS does both.
ISO 27001 & ISO 20000 certified
Independently certified to ISO/IEC 27001 (information security) and ISO/IEC 20000 (service management) — the credentials your own investors’ operational due diligence looks for.
Deliberately vendor-neutral
We sell no hardware agenda, so our assessment of an acquisition target is genuinely independent — findings that stand up in an investment committee, not a sales pitch.
On the ground since 2001
British-owned and Hong Kong-based for over two decades, with engineers across Hong Kong, Mainland China and Singapore — including a locally-registered Chinese entity for cross-border deals.
Proven on real deals
We have repeatedly assessed and integrated the IT of acquired businesses — see how we brought fragmented China operations up to global standards and modernised IT across a US corporation’s China and Hong Kong sites.

Which SFC rules apply to your firm?
Pick your licence types (Type 1, 4, 9…) in the SFC Licence Navigator: see the exact IT and cybersecurity obligations for your combination, tick off what you already have, and download your maturity assessment as a PDF — or send it to us for a costed remediation plan.
IT for your firm
Like any financial services firm, a PE house runs on confidentiality and reliability. We provide a discreet, fully managed or co-managed service. The law firms advising your deals work under the same confidentiality demands — we support them too, with dedicated IT support for law firms in Hong Kong.
Deal & document confidentiality
Hardened identity, encryption and access controls for highly sensitive, NDA-bound deal information.
Secure data rooms & collaboration
Safe handling of virtual data rooms and secure collaboration with lawyers, advisers and counterparties.
LP reporting & investor portals
Reliable, secure systems behind your limited-partner reporting and communications.
SFC Type 9 & ODD readiness
Cybersecurity, records and business continuity that satisfy the SFC and your investors’ operational due diligence, backed by ISO 27001. Check what applies to your licences with the SFC Licence Navigator.
IT due diligence for acquisitions
When you are buying a company, its IT is a source of both risk and cost — and it is rarely scrutinised properly. PTS provides independent IT and technology due diligence on your targets, so you go into the deal with eyes open. We assess the target’s:
Infrastructure & tech debt
What they actually run, how old it is, and what it will cost to bring up to standard.
Cybersecurity posture
Exposure, past incidents, and the security risk you would be inheriting.
Licensing & compliance
Software licensing, data-protection (PDPO/PIPL) and regulatory gaps.
Key-person & vendor risk
Single points of failure, vendor lock-in and undocumented systems.
Integration cost & complexity
A realistic estimate of what it takes to integrate or carve out the target’s IT.
You receive a clear red-flag report and integration cost estimate that informs your valuation, your negotiation, and your 100-day plan. For targets with operations in Mainland China, our on-the-ground China capability lets us assess what most Western advisers simply cannot reach.
Buying a company, or fixing the IT of one you own?
Practical, costed proposal · No obligation
Post-deal IT integration
Diligence is only half the story. Once you have closed, the work of integrating, securing or carving out the target’s IT begins — and that is core PTS territory. We deliver structured IT projects and ongoing managed services to bring a portfolio company onto a solid, secure footing on a defined timeline — including the cross-border and China integration work most providers can’t. It means the same partner who flagged the risks can also fix them.
Why private equity firms choose PTS
- Independent and vendor-neutral — our diligence findings aren’t a pitch for a product, so they stand up in an investment committee.
- Cross-border reach — engineers in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Singapore, with a locally-registered Chinese entity, for targets across the region.
- ISO 27001-certified — the security credential your own investors look for.
- Diligence through to delivery — we assess targets and integrate them, so nothing is lost in the handover. See our case studies.
Our pricing approach
We scope each engagement to the work — a one-off IT due-diligence on a target, ongoing support for the firm, or a post-deal integration programme — and give you a clear, costed proposal with no long lock-in.
Private equity IT FAQs
Do you provide ongoing IT support for our firm, or just due diligence?
Both. We provide secure, confidential managed or co-managed IT for the PE firm itself, and independent IT due diligence on your acquisition targets — and we can integrate those targets after the deal closes.
What does IT due diligence on an acquisition cover?
We assess the target’s infrastructure and tech debt, cybersecurity posture, software licensing and data-protection compliance, key-person and vendor risk, and the realistic cost and complexity of integrating or carving out its IT.
What do we actually receive from an IT due-diligence engagement?
A clear red-flag report and an integration cost estimate, written for an investment committee — so it informs your valuation, negotiation and 100-day plan, not just your IT team.
Can you assess targets with operations in Mainland China?
Yes — this is a particular strength. With a locally-registered Chinese entity and engineers on the ground, we assess and integrate China IT that Western advisers usually cannot reach. See China IT services.
Is your assessment genuinely independent?
Yes. We are vendor-neutral and sell no hardware lines, so our findings reflect the target’s real risk and cost, not a sales agenda. That independence is exactly why it holds up under scrutiny.
Can you handle the IT integration after we close?
Yes. The same team that ran the diligence can deliver the post-deal integration, carve-out or remediation through our IT projects and managed services — so risks identified in diligence are actually resolved.
Do you understand SFC requirements for private equity firms?
Yes. We support SFC-licensed managers with the cybersecurity, record-keeping and business-continuity controls the SFC expects, backed by ISO 27001 — the same foundation we bring to all financial services firms.
