Private Equity

PE Firm Focus

We specialize in serving PE firms and their portfolio companies with $10M–$250M in revenue — businesses that carry real security obligations but aren't yet ready for a full-time CISO. Whether a company is scaling faster than its security infrastructure or navigating post-acquisition integration, we provide the expertise to close the gap.

Portfolio Company Stage

Our sweet spot is companies 6–18 months post-acquisition, when the integration dust has settled, and the focus shifts to value creation and exit planning. This is the moment security gaps become material — and where we add the most impact.

What We Do

  • Rapid Assessment & Maturity Benchmarking - Within 30–60 days, we audit your security posture, establish a clear maturity baseline, and triage what's broken, what's acceptable, and what poses material risk to your deal or exit.

  • M&A and Due Diligence - We support pre- and post-acquisition security assessments, identify inherited liabilities, and integrate security practices across merged entities — so cyber risk doesn't become a deal issue after close.

  • Regulatory & Compliance - From SOC 2 and ISO 27001 to NIST CSF, HIPAA, and CMMC, we navigate compliance efficiently — right-sized to your timeline and exit objectives, not over-engineered.

  • Investor-Ready Reporting - We translate technical risk into the business and financial language your board and deal team need — clear risk exposure, remediation ROI, and no jargon-heavy decks.

  • Incident Response Readiness - We build and stress-test IR plans, establish outside counsel and forensics retainers, and ensure your cyber insurance coverage is structured to actually pay when it matters.

  • Vendor & Budget Rationalization - We right-size your security stack for your company's stage, revenue, and risk profile — eliminating bloated or redundant tooling without leaving critical gaps.

  • Exit Readiness - We make your company more attractive to acquirers — clean audit trails, defensible security practices, and the ability to respond credibly to buyer security questionnaires.

PE-backed environments move fast, and resources are finite. Our team is operator-minded, not just advisory — built to earn trust quickly with both portfolio leadership and PE deal teams, and to deliver results in the compressed timelines that matter to your firm.
