Our Journey

Our firm was founded by seasoned cybersecurity and risk experts with over 20 years of experience navigating the complex intersections of technology, governance, and enterprise value. Recognizing a critical gap in how private equity firms manage cyber risk across their investments, we set out to build a service model that truly aligns with the economics, cadence, and priorities of the PE landscape. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, we designed an approach that integrates pre-close diligence, targeted remediation, and portfolio-wide oversight into a seamless, data-driven process. Today, we empower firms and their portfolio companies to turn cyber risk into a competitive advantage — enhancing resilience, protecting value, and accelerating returns.
