ITDaaS for Private Equity Portfolios

One technology partner across the entire investment lifecycle — pre-acquisition due diligence, Day-1 ITDaaS & MSSP activation, and retroactive onboarding of every existing portfolio company onto the same hardened, monitored, compliance-ready platform.

Built for the fund model.

Every acquisition inherits an IT environment — and with it, unquantified cyber risk, unbudgeted technical debt, and integration friction that erodes deal value from day one. Neutron embeds as your firm's operating technology partner: assessing targets before the deal closes, standing up a complete IT department and managed security program the day the deal closes, and bringing every existing portfolio company onto the same platform — no matter when it was acquired.

Standardized assessment frameworks, firm-fixed pricing, consolidated portfolio reporting to your operating team, and a repeatable Day-1 playbook that becomes faster and more consistent with every add-on you close — all delivered by a single accountable provider rather than a patchwork of regional vendors.

  • One provider across diligence, IT operations, security, and compliance
  • Day-1 activation — ITDaaS & MSSP coverage active at transaction close
  • 24/7 U.S.-based SOC & NOC monitoring every portfolio company
  • Firm-fixed pricing — no hourly billing, no variable invoices
  • Aligned with your firm's internal technical professional — we operationalize your policies, not replace them
  • Portfolio-level reporting — consolidated visibility across every covered company
The Three-Phase Model

Deal timeline to steady state, without a coverage gap.

Phase 3 means it is never too late to bring a company into the program.

Phase 1 — Pre-Acquisition Due Diligence

  • Cybersecurity posture & prior-incident history
  • Infrastructure, cloud, applications & licensing
  • Backup, resilience & DR capability
  • Compliance obligations & contract exposure
  • Technical debt quantified in remediation dollars
  • 2–4 week timeline, compressible for competitive processes

Phase 2 — Day-1 ITDaaS & MSSP Activation

  • Complete IT department live at transaction close
  • Help desk, endpoint management, identity, email security, backup
  • Full MSSP stack — SOC monitoring from hour one
  • On-site engineers where the company operates
  • No coverage gap between signing and stabilization

Phase 3 — Retroactive Portfolio Onboarding

  • Existing portfolio companies brought onto the same platform
  • Compressed assess-and-onboard sprint per company
  • Uniform security baseline across the portfolio
  • Consolidated visibility & single provider of record
  • Never-too-late enrollment regardless of acquisition date
Alignment

We operationalize your firm's technology mandate.

Neutron does not replace your technology leadership — we gap-fill where necessary and provide the tooling and coverage to execute your firm's policies at portfolio scale.

Your policies, our execution

  • Existing security policies, standards, and control frameworks are adopted as-written and enforced through Neutron's tooling — not replaced with a vendor's house standard.

Gap-fill, not displacement

  • Where the firm lacks capacity — 24/7 coverage, specialized engineering, surge response, or on-site presence — Neutron fills the gap without absorbing authority.

Shared diligence framework

  • Assessment templates co-tailored with your technical professional so every target is scored the same way, deal after deal.

Escalation alignment

  • Severity-1 incidents at any portfolio company notify both company leadership and the firm's designated technical contact.
Deliverables to the Deal Team

Diligence that converts directly into execution.

Because the team that assesses the target is the team that operates it after close, nothing is lost in handoff.

FAQ

Common questions from operating partners

What deal teams and firm technology leads ask before engaging us.

What if we already have a technology partner or internal team?

Neutron gap-fills rather than displaces. If your firm has an internal technical professional or existing MSPs at some portfolio companies, we work alongside them — providing 24/7 coverage, specialized engineering, or standardized diligence where they lack capacity, and consolidating where consolidation makes sense.

How is this different from M&A IT Due Diligence alone?

Our M&A IT Due Diligence service is Phase 1 delivered as a standalone engagement — the right choice if a firm needs diligence but has ongoing operations covered. ITDaaS for Private Equity Portfolios is the full lifecycle: same diligence, plus Day-1 activation and ongoing operations across the portfolio under one contract.

Can we start with just one portfolio company?

Yes. Firms often begin with a single acquisition or a proof-of-concept onboarding of one existing company, then expand across the portfolio as the model demonstrates value.

How does pricing work?

Firm-fixed pricing throughout — a fixed platform fee per company plus a fixed per-seat rate for entitled users. Diligence engagements are firm-fixed too, agreed before work begins. No hourly billing and no variable invoices.

What about AI governance across the portfolio?

Our MCPaaS (MCP Server Management) service is the companion offering — managed AI governance infrastructure delivered under the same firm-fixed model, so portfolio companies can adopt AI without creating ungoverned data-exposure risk.

One provider. Every portfolio company. Every deal.

Schedule a consultation and we'll walk through the three-phase model, the diligence framework, and how a Day-1 activation looks for your next close.
