It's a very interesting checklist, but I wonder if there's (m)any startups that make it to due diligence and then fail to (literally) check the right boxes.

Disclosure: I'm on the technical advisory board of round2cap.com where I also do technical due diligence.

Interesting can I ask how you got into that line of work? it is something I have considered moving into that area given I have been around for a while :-)

This comment is not only dismissive, its basically wrong too. Their website is the digital equivalent of an information brochure - there is zero need for HTTPS there. The only page that needs it, partner login and the admin area looks like it does have HTTPS.

There's a need for HTTPS everywhere, because to not HTTPS is to invite hostile networks to inject advertising, exploits, etc. into your readers' web browser.

Everything needs to be HTTPS.

Yeah, that is annoying, but it doesn't seem entirely relevant.

You mean their website doesn’t have https?
