Trading uptime is non-negotiable.
When your OMS or EMS goes down during market hours, every minute is measured in P&L impact. A generalist MSP that schedules patching during the day will not survive your trading desk's response.

Your IT environment isn't like a software company's. Stop being serviced like one.
-
-
Allocator DDQs are operationally demanding.
Allocators, FoFs, and pension consultants now send cyber DDQs that routinely run 150+ questions. Sophisticated managers respond in days. Less-prepared managers stall fundraising cycles while they scramble.
-
Form PF expands your regulatory footprint.
Once you cross the Form PF threshold, you're disclosing operational risk and cyber posture to the SEC and CFTC in standardized format. The artifacts your IT operation produces have to feed that disclosure cleanly.
-
Your counterparties are your attack surface.
Prime brokers, custodians, fund admins, OMS/EMS providers, market data vendors, and research platforms each represent integration points. A compromise at any one becomes a compromise at you.
-
Your stack sits on infrastructure most MSPs misconfigure.
OMS, EMS, Bloomberg Terminal access, fund admin portals, and research subscriptions all ride on top of Microsoft 365, identity, and endpoint controls. A generalist MSP treats this like any other small business — which is how you end up with flat networks, shared admin accounts, and trading systems accessible from every workstation.

The Regulatory Environment Hedge Funds Actually Face in 2026
LPAssure

A CISSP-led senior security leader named to your fund. Sits in on allocator due diligence calls, briefs your IC, represents your cyber program to LPs, FoFs, pension consultants, and regulators.
SEC / Reg S-P / Form PF / Marketing Rule Compliance Artifacts
The documented evidence your CCO needs to pass an exam, answer ADV Item 1A, and survive a Form PF threshold trigger.
Living Investor & Allocator Cyber DDQ Response Library
A maintained response bank covering the 150+ question patterns recurring across allocator DDQs — direct LPs, fund-of-funds, pension consultants, sovereign wealth, family offices. New DDQs turn around in days.
Trading Infrastructure & Counterparty Cyber Resilience
The part of LPAssure built around what's unique to hedge funds: the trading floor, the OMS/EMS stack, prime broker integration security, and the counterparty risk that lives in your daily operations.
Quarterly Investor-Ready Reports
The artifact that closes the loop. Each quarter, a concise report on your cyber posture, allocator DDQ activity, compliance artifact status, and counterparty risk register. Drop it directly into an investor letter, an allocator update, or a DDQ response packet.
