Silver Regulatory Associates Expands Portfolio Company Cybersecurity Offering, Powered by Advisor Armor
NEW YORK — Silver Regulatory Associates (Silver), a boutique regulatory compliance consulting firm serving investment advisers, broker-dealers, and private equity and venture capital (PE/VC) sponsors, today announced the launch of its Portfolio Company Cybersecurity Program – a sponsor-purchased cyber compliance offering delivered directly to portfolio companies (PortCo’s), powered by the Advisor Armor platform.
“The cybersecurity compliance burden on portfolio companies has grown substantially as regulators sharpen their focus on the investment management industry,” said Mike Regan, Director of Cybersecurity Compliance at Silver. “We developed this program to give sponsors a structured, scalable solution – one that delivers examination-ready compliance across an entire portfolio through a single engagement. Tapping into Advisor Armor’s technology infrastructure allows us to deliver consistent, documented outcomes at the portfolio level.”
The program addresses a persistent gap in how PE/VC-backed companies approach cybersecurity compliance. Most portfolio companies lack dedicated security staff and operate without documented programs that satisfy SEC, FINRA, and state regulatory expectations. At the same time, sponsors face increasing pressure from LPs and regulators to demonstrate portfolio-wide cyber risk management. Silver’s offering resolves both problems through a single sponsor-level contract covering all enrolled PortCo’s.
Each enrolled portfolio company receives a bundled annual program including policy development (Written Information Security Policy and Incident Response Plan), an annual cyber risk assessment, firm-wide cybersecurity training, an annual external penetration test, and continuous endpoint compliance monitoring.
The partnership reflects a growing recognition across the industry that portfolio-level cybersecurity compliance requires dedicated infrastructure, not a patchwork of firm-by-firm solutions.
