Drawbridge is trusted by hedge funds, private equity managers, portfolio companies, investors, LPs and other entities to protect their finances – and reputation – by identifying vulnerabilities, mitigating risk and ensuring business continuity.
The Drawbridge Backstory
Cybersecurity has been a growing concern in the finance world for decades but in the late 2010s alternative investment firms with less than $15B AUM were particularly vulnerable. Not only did they have to worry about phishing attacks and data breaches, but they also had to manage regulatory compliance, human resources, procurement, and other back-office responsibilities – with limited resources.
Few could afford to invest in a full-scale cyber program, and even fewer had the internal bandwidth to manage one. That’s when one forward-thinking cybersecurity expert set out to stem these mid-size asset managers’ escalating exposure. He brought together every cyber risk management solution a modern firm needed under one roof – including policy creation, advisory, and risk assessments.
Then, he launched a first-of-its-kind cybersecurity platform where firms could continuously monitor their risk, track their remediation, and answer the rising concerns of investors with deep data, analytics, and benchmarking.
What Makes Drawbridge Different
Drawbridge is fully independent — no strings attached. We’re not an MSP or an IT provider; we just do cyber security. That’s it. That’s all.
We don’t carry the inherent conflicts of interest of your MSP or IT provider when they offer to “take care of your cyber” by auditing their own cybersecurity. As a completely independent entity, Drawbridge can be trusted to provide an accurate readout of your cyber posture, enumerated by our industry recognized and bias-free cyber score – part of our complete Cyber Risk Intelligence platform.
Our Cyber Risk Intelligence platform is what makes us stand out from the crowd. With all of the tools you need in one place, our clients can see their cyber score at any time, benchmark it against their peers, and improve it in real time. The Drawbridge cyber score is the industry standard metric for strong cyber.

The right platform matters. But the right people matter too.
Behind every cyber assessment and every response plan, there’s a team of people who know the alternative investment industry inside and out. Drawbridge is home to specialists who don’t just understand cybersecurity – they live and breathe it.

We’re also not disappearing behind technology. Every Drawbridge client gets access to two named advisors, hands-on support, and ongoing guidance tailored to their business goals and regulatory obligations.
