Audit Defense

Audit defense that controls the narrative.

From the first “friendly” license review letter to final settlement, we control the process, the data the vendor sees, and the measurement methodology. Our advisors ran these audit programs inside the vendors — so we know which claims hold, which collapse under scrutiny, and how settlements are really reached.

A $4.1M SAP indirect-access claim settled at zero.
What's included

Everything the engagement covers.

01

Audit response & control

We take point on all vendor communication, control the scope, and ensure nothing is measured or shared before it is verified.

02

Measurement & methodology

We challenge the vendor's counting methodology line by line — where most inflated claims quietly disappear.

03

Claim challenge & settlement

Indirect access, PVU/ILMT, ULA and named-user claims challenged on the merits, then settled from strength.

04

Post-audit hardening

We close the gaps that triggered the audit so the next “review” never has an opening.

How it works

A clear path from first call to signature.

Step 1

Contain

We take over vendor communication and freeze the scope before anything is conceded.

Step 2

Analyze

The claim is rebuilt independently — methodology, entitlements and deployment tested against the contract.

Step 3

Challenge

Weak and inflated positions are challenged directly, on the evidence.

Step 4

Settle

We negotiate a settlement from strength and harden the estate against the next review.
