IT Carve-Out & Divestiture

Why IT Carve-Outs Are Different

Separate systems, data, and dependencies while the business continues to operate.

Unlike integrations, IT carve-outs require disciplined separation planning to untangle shared infrastructure, applications, and vendor relationships without disrupting ongoing operations.

Key IT Carve-Out Execution Risks

Unclear Separation Scope
Limited visibility into shared systems and infrastructure complicates clean separation planning.
Incomplete Asset Discovery
Poor documentation of applications, data, and integrations increases delay and cost.
Seller System Dependency
Continued reliance on parent systems extends TSA timelines and limits operational independence.
Data & Compliance Exposure
Improper data separation increases regulatory risk and disrupts ongoing operations.
Inherited Security Gaps
Legacy vulnerabilities and unclear ownership elevate cyber risk during transition.
TSA Exit Pressure
Poorly scoped TSAs increase cost and threaten continuity if exit readiness is delayed.

Our IT Carve-Out Solutions

01

Deliver Clear Operational Independence

We define a clear separation path that enables the carved-out business to operate independently from Day 1. This includes isolating systems, infrastructure, and access while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations and transaction timelines.

02

Identify and Untangle Critical IT Dependencies

We uncover shared applications, infrastructure, data, and vendor dependencies that create execution risk during separation. Our analysis prioritizes what must be disentangled pre-close versus what can transition under TSA without compromising continuity.

03

Stand Up Independent IT Environments for Day 1

We design and execute the stand-up of standalone IT environments required to support the carved-out entity. This includes core infrastructure, end-user systems, identity, and access needed to operate independently at close.

04

Separate and Migrate Data Without Compliance Exposure

We plan and execute data separation and migration to ensure sensitive information is handled correctly across jurisdictions and regulatory requirements. This reduces the risk of data leakage, compliance violations, and post-close remediation.

05

Address Inherited Security and Regulatory Risk

We assess inherited security gaps and compliance exposure created by the separation. Our approach focuses on stabilizing controls during transition while defining remediation actions that align with the buyer’s long-term security posture.

06

Structure TSAs to Enable a Clean and Timely Exit

We help define TSA scope, duration, and exit requirements to avoid unnecessary cost and operational dependency. Our planning ensures TSAs support continuity without becoming a blocker to full separation and independence.
