For Private Equity

Cyber Incident & Ransomware Advisory for PE Sponsors and Their Portfolio Companies

Incident Advisory Group helps private equity sponsors bring consistent incident readiness and response across regulated portfolio companies — with founder-led delivery and one accountable recovery lead, not a rotating account team.

This page is fordeal teams, operating partners, and portfolio-company leadership who need cyber incident readiness standardized across the portfolio and a dependable recovery lead when an incident occurs.

What we provide

Incident Advisory Across the Deal Lifecycle

From diligence through post-acquisition operations, we give sponsors a repeatable way to manage cyber and incident risk across the portfolio.

Portfolio-Wide Incident Readiness

Establish a consistent baseline of recovery readiness across the portfolio, so no single company is the weak link when an incident hits.

Standardized Recovery Playbooks

One executive recovery rhythm and documented playbook every portfolio company can follow — instead of improvising under pressure.

Cyber Insurance Coordination

Align portfolio companies with carrier requirements and organize the evidence sponsors and boards need before renewal or a claim.

Diligence Support

Assess cyber and incident exposure during diligence so risk is priced in, not discovered after close.

Post-Acquisition Incident Support

A single accountable recovery lead when a newly acquired company is mid-incident or carrying unresolved breach fallout.

Board-Ready Reporting

Translate technical recovery detail into defensible, leadership-ready reporting for sponsors, boards, and LPs.

Why it matters

Cyber Risk Is Now on the PE Agenda

Sponsors are advised to make cyber diligence mandatory, standardize security across portfolios, and assume incidents will occur — which turns incident advisory into a recurring need.

  • Cyber diligence is increasingly treated as mandatory, not optional, in the deal process.
  • Sponsors are expected to standardize security posture across the portfolio.
  • Incidents are assumed to occur — readiness and response are recurring needs, not one-off projects.
  • A single accountable recovery lead reduces board, insurer, and regulator friction when an incident lands.
Engagement model

Founder-Led, Portfolio-Friendly

You work directly with the founder across every portfolio engagement — one recovery lead who coordinates with each company's attorney, insurer, forensic responders, and MSP, and reports back to the sponsor in clear, defensible terms.

Standardize Incident Readiness Across Your Portfolio

Start with a founder-led conversation about your portfolio's exposure, diligence needs, or an active post-acquisition incident.
