Fundraising cycles create asymmetric risk windows.
When a new fund is closing, your deal team is moving LP PII, subscription docs, and wire instructions on tight timelines. That's exactly when phishing and BEC attacks peak.
Managed IT and Cybersecurity for Private Equity Firms
Purpose-built for SEC-registered GPs. Anchored by LPAssure — our flagship cyber program for LP-readiness, SEC compliance, and portfolio oversight.
-
LPAssure - The flagship program: named vClSO, LP DDQ library, SEC compliance artifacts, portco oversight, quarterly LP-ready reports
-
SEC & Reg S-P Aligned - Documented controls, incident response, records retention ready for your next exam
-
Portco Cyber Oversight - Standardize cyber posture across your holdings before your LPs standardize it for you
SOC 2 GTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark 2025 MSP Titans Finance/Banking Serving PE since 2008 CISSP-led 90-day satisfaction guarantee
Your IT isn't like a dentist's office. Stop being serviced like one.
-
-
You're a data aggregator for your portcos.
GP systems end up holding board packs, financial models, ESG data, and operational KPIs from 5–30+ portfolio companies. One GP breach cascades.
-
LP ODD teams now audit your cyber program in detail
Cyber DDQs from institutional LPs routinely run 150+ questions. "We use a good MSP" is not an answer
-
The SEC examination environment has sharpened.
Reg S-P amendments (compliance June 3, 2026 for smaller advisers), 2026 SEC exam priorities, Marketing Rule, ADV Item 1A cyber disclosures — these are operational IT problems, not just legal ones.
-
Your stack sits on infrastructure that most MSPs misconfigure.
Fund admin, deal pipeline, investor portal, and VDR platforms all ride on top of Microsoft 365, Entra ID, SSO, 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 LP-facing systems accessible to every workstation in the office.

The Regulatory Environment PE Firms Actually Face in 2026
LPAssure
Inside LPAssure: What Your LPs Get When You Work With Triada
LPAssure is the PE-specific program layer we deliver on top of managed IT. Five named components. One LP-ready story.
Get the LPAssure Portfolio Cyber Onboarding ChecklistNamed vCISO Leadership
A CISSP-led senior security leader named to your firm. Sits in on ODD calls, briefs your IC, represents your cyber program to LPs and regulators. Not a rotating pool – a specific person with your fund on their roster.
SEC / Reg S-P / Marketing Rule Compliance Artifacts
The documented evidence your CCO needs to pass an exam and answer ADV Item IA. We build, maintain, and version-control the artifacts — not just the policies.
Living LP Cyber DDQ Response Library
A maintained response bank covering the 350+ question patterns that recur across institutional LP DDQs. New DDQs turn around in days, not weeks. Answers are updated continuously as your controls evolve — not reconstructed each time.
Portfolio Company Cyber Oversight
The part of LPAssure that protects the rest of your fund. LP ODD questionnaires increasingly ask "how do you assess portfolio company cyber?" - LPAssure gives you an answer with evidence behind it.
Quarterly LP-Ready Reports
The artifact that closes the loop. Each quarter, a concise report on your cyber posture, LP DDQ activity, compliance artifact status, and portco oversight. Drop it directly into an LP update letter, an investor portal, or an ODD response packet.
