Private equity
IT due diligence, 100-day stabilization, and portco scale.
Private equity firms and portfolio companies require rapid IT assessment, cyber risk mitigation, carve-out separation, and scalable infrastructure to maximize enterprise value.
The realities of private equity
Why IT feels riskier here than almost anywhere.
Hidden technical debt threatens the 100-day plan
Undocumented legacy systems, unpatched vulnerabilities, and key-person dependencies can stall integration and eat into projected EBITDA post-acquisition.
Carve-outs and bolt-ons require rapid execution
Transition services agreements (TSAs) are expensive. Separating email, ERP, and infrastructure cleanly without business interruption is critical.
Cyber risk directly impacts valuation
A breach during a hold period destroys value, damages client relationships, and complicates exit diligence. Security posture must be provable to future buyers.
Vendor sprawl drains operating margins
Acquired businesses frequently arrive with redundant software licenses, overlapping toolsets, and unfavorable vendor contracts.

The services this comes down to
How we deliver for you.
Vendor & technology management
We run your vendors so you don't have to - renewals, licensing, and the 'is this even working?' question, managed by a single accountable partner.
Security & ransomware defense
Firewalls, endpoint protection, email filtering, and the hardening examiners actually look for. We defend you in the background so ransomware and breaches stay headlines that happen elsewhere.
Compliance & audit readiness
The controls, documentation, and patching cadence that satisfy bank examiners, NCUA, and industry regulators. Compliance handled as an ongoing standard, not a scramble before the audit.
Questions they ask
Before deciding.
How quickly can you assess a prospective acquisition's IT?
We can complete rapid-read IT and cyber health assessments within 5-10 business days during active diligence.
Do you support carve-out separations from parent companies?
Yes. We specialize in standing up independent infrastructure, migrating mail and data, and sunsetting TSAs ahead of schedule.
Can you provide standard reporting for our operating partners?
We deliver executive dashboards tracking security posture, infrastructure health, and budget variance across your portfolio.
