Cyber Compliance Services

Helping to Make Cyber Compliance a Strategic Advantage

As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve and the SEC intensifies its focus on cyber risk oversight, private fund managers must be equipped with policies, procedures and controls that go beyond technical defense. In other words, they must be compliance-ready.

But cyber compliance is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Silver’s Cyber Compliance division offers a pragmatic, regulator-informed approach to building and maintaining a defensible cybersecurity program that aligns with investor expectations, operational realities and regulatory obligations. Our process is grounded in practical insight, regulatory intelligence and deep experience advising investment advisers and private fund managers. Our goal is to help firms build programs that are scalable, defensible and fully integrated with broader compliance efforts so you are not just secure, but also prepared.

Designed specifically for registered investment advisers and private fund managers, our services support firms at every stage, whether you are building a cybersecurity program from the ground up, responding to investor diligence requests or strengthening an existing framework to meet new regulatory compliance standards, the Silver Cyber Compliance team is with you through every step of the process.

Core Cyber Compliance Services

Offered as an ongoing support engagement or on a project basis, Silver’s core cyber compliance services provide structure, accountability and strategic insight across five foundational areas.

Policy Development and Maintenance

We help your firm establish and maintain key governance documents that form the backbone of a sound cybersecurity program.

  • Written Information Security Policy (WISP) - Defines the technical, administrative and physical safeguards that govern data protection across your operations.
  • Incident Response Plan (IRP) - Outlines step-by-step procedures for detecting, responding to and recovering from a cybersecurity incident.
  • Business Continuity Plan (BCP) - Ensures critical functions and systems remain operational in the event of disruption, from ransomware to infrastructure outages.

Cyber Risk Assessment

These assessments are designed to support both internal decision-making and external regulator and investor inquiries.

  • Identify vulnerabilities across your firm’s information systems.
  • Evaluate threat likelihood and impact.
  • Provide prioritized recommendations to mitigate risk.

Cyber Insurance Review

We review your cyber liability insurance coverage to determine whether it adequately reflects your firm’s operating model, third-party exposure and regulatory obligations, flagging gaps before they become costly risks.

Cybersecurity Training​

People are often the weakest link in cybersecurity. We deliver engaging, firm-wide training that reinforces regulator expectations and firm-specific policies, helping your team recognize threats, respond appropriately and reduce human error.

Advisory and Breach Response Support

We serve as an extension of your compliance team, working alongside your internal IT team or Managed Service Provider (MSP) to ensure your cybersecurity program is fit for purpose. Our support includes responding to cybersecurity questions during investor due diligence and assisting with the coordination of incident response if a breach occurs.

Supplemental Cyber Compliance Services

Silver offers a suite of supplemental services that can be integrated into your ongoing cyber compliance initiative or engaged individually to address specific risks, satisfy investor expectations or enhance your overall cyber readiness.

Vendor Due Diligence

We evaluate the cybersecurity posture of key third-party service providers - such as fund administrators, custodians and technology vendors - to ensure proper data protection and risk controls are in place. Our assessments are tailored to regulator expectations and operational priorities.

Penetration Testing

We conduct controlled penetration tests that simulate real-world attacks to identify exploitable weaknesses. We help scope the testing exercise, interpret findings and prioritize remediation.

Vulnerability Scanning

We conduct recurring scans to detect and assess known vulnerabilities across your systems, networks and applications. Reports are customized with remediation guidance aligned to your infrastructure and resource availability.

Phishing Simulation Exercises

Our phishing exercises assess employee susceptibility to social engineering threats and identify where additional awareness training is needed. Detailed metrics support internal reporting and help build a more security-conscious culture.

Incident Response Tabletop Exercises

These scenario-based sessions allow your team to simulate a breach response in a no-risk environment. We facilitate cross-functional planning, test your IRP in action and highlight potential gaps in coordination or communication.

Annual Cyber Compliance Program Review

This comprehensive review assesses the design, implementation and maturity of your firm’s cybersecurity program. It can be delivered as a standalone engagement or as an integrated component of Silver’s Annual Compliance Review to provide a holistic view of your regulatory risk profile.
