How We Help

Security that fits how a venture firm actually operates

Most venture firms run on a small operations team, a shared technology stack of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, a data room provider, and a fund administrator — with no one formally responsible for security. That works until a founder forwards a term sheet to a compromised inbox, or an LP receives a convincing capital call notice that the firm never sent. The financial and reputational cost of either event far exceeds the cost of preventing it.

Our work with venture firms starts from the way partners actually behave: traveling constantly, working from personal devices, communicating with founders and co-investors over channels the firm does not control. Rather than imposing controls that partners will route around, we harden the foundation — identity, email, and devices — so the firm stays protected without slowing the pace of deal work.

What an engagement typically looks like

Engagements usually begin with a security review of the firm's Microsoft 365 tenant, email authentication, device posture, and vendor access. From there we implement the priority fixes: enforcing multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access, securing partner and executive assistant mailboxes, locking down forwarding rules and delegate access, and enrolling firm devices in management with encryption enforced.

We also help the firm document what it has — access reviews, offboarding procedures, incident response basics — so that when an institutional LP sends an operational due diligence questionnaire, the answers are accurate, current, and quick to produce. For firms between fund cycles, this preparation is considerably less expensive than scrambling during a raise.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do venture firms really need managed IT at our size?

Firms of five to fifty people are the most common targets for business email compromise precisely because they move large sums without dedicated security staff. Most venture firms do not need a full-time IT hire — they need identity, email, and device fundamentals configured correctly, monitored, and documented. That is what a fractional engagement provides.

Can you help us respond to LP due diligence questionnaires?

Yes. We help firms implement the controls that questionnaires ask about — MFA, device management, access reviews, incident response planning — and maintain the documentation that supports accurate answers. We do not fabricate answers for controls that are not in place; we help you close the gaps first.

We use a fund administrator and a data room provider. Is security their job?

Partially. Your vendors secure their platforms, but access to those platforms flows through your firm's identities, devices, and email. A compromised partner mailbox defeats the most secure data room. Vendor security and firm security are complementary, and LP questionnaires ask about both.
