Operational Due Diligence is a comprehensive assessment of a firm’s non-investment related processes, systems, and controls. This evaluation covers areas such as technology infrastructure, cybersecurity, risk management, and administrative procedures. In the digital asset sector, it critically examines a crypto firm’s operational robustness and resilience. It ensures that a company can reliably execute its services and protect client assets.
