Managed IT for
Private Equity.

Deal confidentiality, portfolio oversight, and clean evidence.

Private equity holds information that carries legal weight and value that lives in other companies. KAVIX runs the IT behind the fund so deal data stays confidential, capital calls cannot be faked, and the cyber risk in your portfolio is something you can see and manage. Part of our financial services practice.

Risk Sits in Three Places at Once.

A private equity firm is small at the centre and large at the edges. The fund, the deals in flight, and the companies you own each carry a different kind of exposure, and a problem in any of them lands on the same balance sheet.

Deal information that cannot leak

Live deals, data rooms and the inside information around them carry legal weight under market-abuse rules. A leak is a regulatory and reputational event, with weight well beyond the commercial.

Portfolio risk is your risk

A cyber incident at a portfolio company hits the fund's value and its reputation. You also inherit whatever security state a target arrives in, and much of the portfolio has no IT function of its own.

Capital-call and LP fraud

Capital calls and distributions move large sums on a schedule attackers can anticipate. Impersonation and business email compromise aimed at that process can redirect an investor's money in a single email.

From the Fund to the Portfolio.

KAVIX secures the fund's own IT, protects the deals moving through it, and gives you a way to see and manage the cyber risk across the companies you own. One team covers the centre and helps hold a standard at the edges.

Everything runs under one managed setup, watched around the clock and backed by qualified UK engineers who understand a live deal cannot wait.

A Capital Call, Redirected.

A fund is drawing down capital for a live deal. An LP receives what looks like the call notice, on the fund's template, from an address a character off the real one, with updated bank details for the transfer.

The amount is expected, the timing is right, and the only thing wrong is the account it points to.

With domain verification flagging the spoofed sender, a verified call-back check on any change to payment details, and monitoring on the finance team's mailboxes, the fake notice is caught before an investor acts on it. The controls that stop this are the same ones an operational due-diligence review will look for.

Questions PE Firms Ask.

Can you help keep deal information confidential?
Yes. Live deals, data rooms and the material non-public information around them need controlled access and a clear record of who saw what. We put least-privilege access, logging and secure collaboration in place so sensitive deal data stays inside the people working it.
Do you carry out cyber due diligence on acquisition targets?
Yes. We assess a target's security posture as part of diligence, so you understand the cyber risk you are buying before completion, not after. It becomes one more line item you can price and plan around.
Can you bring our portfolio companies onto a consistent security standard?
Yes. A breach at a portfolio company hits the fund's value and reputation. We can set a common security baseline across the portfolio and support each company to reach it, so risk is not left to chance at the ones with no IT function.
How do you protect capital calls and LP payments from fraud?
Capital calls and investor payments are a prime target for impersonation. We filter business email compromise, verify your domain against spoofing, and help you put a verified call-back check on payment instructions and any change to account details.
Are you aware of our FCA and market-abuse obligations?
Yes. We support the IT side of operational resilience and the controls around inside information, so access and audit trails stand up to scrutiny. Compliance stays with your firm; we make the evidence exist.
What does switching to KAVIX involve?
We plan the transition around your deal and reporting calendar and handle it end to end, so moving to us does not put a live process at risk. You get documentation of what changed for your own records.

Two Ways to Begin.

Start with a short call, or go straight to a full review. Both begin with a conversation about how your firm and your portfolio run.
