How to resolve an IBM audit without overpaying. Settlement math, the negotiation moves, the bundle traps, and the legal posture that turns a 7 figure exposure into a clean settlement.
Triage the IBM notice. Build a position. Run the response protocol. The buyer side strategy is documented in the page above and the audit defense playbook.
From notice to settlement, most IBM audits run 90 to 270 days. The first 30 days are decisive. Triage, scope, and response protocol drive the outcome.
Fixed fee, scoped to the audit notice, audit scope, and product set. Most engagements pay for themselves several times over in settlement reduction. Contact Redress to scope.
