Audit the front door before you buy the house.
Assess a target's public web presence for legal and technical compliance — from privacy policies and cookie consent to security headers, performance, and accessibility — surfacing risks the data room never shows.

Audit privacy policies against GDPR, CCPA and local regulations
Plausity crawls target websites and extracts privacy policies, then cross-references them against applicable data protection frameworks. It identifies missing disclosures, inadequate consent mechanisms, and non-compliant data processing statements — across every jurisdiction the target operates in.
Evaluate cookie consent and tracking compliance
Automatically detect cookies, trackers, and third-party scripts running on target websites. Plausity maps each to its consent mechanism and flags instances where tracking fires before consent, categories are mislabelled, or opt-out mechanisms are missing.
Assess security headers, SSL, and vulnerability exposure
Automatically evaluate the target's security posture through HTTP security headers, SSL/TLS configuration, exposed endpoints, and known vulnerability databases. Plausity flags missing protections, outdated certificates, and configurations that leave the business exposed.
Evaluate website performance and accessibility standards
Measure page load times, Core Web Vitals, and mobile responsiveness alongside WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance. Poor performance and accessibility gaps signal deeper engineering issues and create legal risk — from ADA litigation to lost revenue.
Review terms of service and legal disclosures
Analyse terms of service, acceptable use policies, and mandatory legal disclosures for completeness, enforceability, and alignment with the target's actual business model. Plausity identifies clauses that may create liability or limit post-acquisition flexibility.
Generate unified website compliance reports
Combine legal and technical findings into a single, structured report — with each gap mapped to its regulatory framework or technical standard, severity rating, and estimated remediation cost. Give deal teams the full picture of website risk in one deliverable.

Plausity flagged a GDPR consent failure and a critical SSL misconfiguration on the target's main website — both missed in traditional DD. We adjusted the purchase price before the second meeting.
Frequently asked questions
Plausity supports GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA/CPRA (California), LGPD (Brazil), POPIA (South Africa), and other major data protection frameworks. Custom regulatory mappings can be configured per engagement.
No. Plausity performs non-intrusive technical assessments using publicly available signals — security headers, SSL configuration, exposed assets, and known vulnerability databases. For deep penetration testing, findings can complement your preferred security vendor.
Absolutely. Plausity can audit multiple domains, subdomains, and regional website variants in a single assessment — useful for targets with multi-market digital presences.
Legal DD and Tech DD focus on data room documentation — contracts, codebases, architecture. Website Compliance specifically targets the live public web presence, catching legal and technical issues that documentation alone would miss.
Their website tells you more than the data room. Audit it.
