Controller, Schell's

Thriveon has been an outstanding business alliance for our company. At certain times, we are high maintenance. It is wonderful to know that no matter what our demand, they are always there to help. In our industry, managing data and compliance are the cornerstone to ensuring privacy for our clients. Their reliability and dedication to network management lets us know we are protected. This has led to not only improvements in productivity but also peace of mind.

Managing Partner, Carlson Highland

Thriveon is one of the best things that happened to us this year. We started out retaining their services to obtain a more reliable and effective data backup solution, but their services to us evolved into a partnership where they are providing not only backup, but also disaster recovery, enhanced security, regular system and hardware monitoring and maintenance, and day-to-day speedy, reliable, professional and knowledgeable support services for all our IT needs (which Thriveon offers through their unlimited support program). Thriveon encourages support requests from all our staff members, for all of our IT questions, big or small, including questions regarding Microsoft Office and our other applications and software programs. Their engineers are friendly and really approachable.

Steve Franta

Managing Partner, The Legal Professionals

Thriveon truly focuses on the customer service side of the business. They impress us often with their support. And Thriveon is the first IT company that we found would prevent problems before they happen, rather than react to them after they happened.

Fractional CIO

Executive IT Clarity

A dedicated Fractional CIO gives your firm executive-level technology leadership without adding a full-time role. You receive a documented IT roadmap, annual budget guidance, technology spend oversight, and strategic recommendations tied to firm and portfolio goals.

This leadership connects deal velocity, operational risk, cybersecurity, and scalability so IT decisions are not made in isolation. The result is clearer prioritization, stronger governance, and more confident board-level technology discussions.

Portfolio Alignment

Portfolio Growth Support

Portfolio companies often operate with inconsistent systems, vendors, security controls, and documentation. Thriveon assesses the environment, identifies gaps, and creates a practical roadmap for standardizing IT where it creates measurable value.

This can include infrastructure reviews, application rationalization, endpoint and identity controls, vendor consolidation, and lifecycle planning. The goal is to reduce operational friction, improve visibility, and support scalable growth without unnecessary technology spend.

Cybersecurity

Embedded Security

Cybersecurity is embedded into every engagement, not treated as a separate add-on. Thriveon evaluates risk, strengthens endpoint and network security, applies layered controls such as MFA and encryption, and supports continuous vulnerability management.

With managed Endpoint Detection and Response, SIEM capabilities with 1-year retention, and 24×7 SOC monitoring, your firm gains stronger threat visibility and faster response coordination while maintaining a practical, business-aligned security posture.

Compliance Support

Audit-Ready Structure

For firms navigating investor expectations, audits, regulated data, or portfolio compliance obligations, Thriveon helps create the structure needed for audit readiness. Services can include policy development, System Security Plan support, evidence management, risk assessments, and control documentation.

Framework alignment may include SOC II, NIST, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, or other relevant standards. The outcome is organized documentation, clearer accountability, and a more efficient path through audits and diligence reviews.

Vendor Management

Spend Control

Uncoordinated technology vendors, overlapping tools, and unclear licensing can quietly drain value across a firm or portfolio. Thriveon reviews technology spend, manages vendor relationships, evaluates ROI, and identifies opportunities to reduce duplication.

Clients have achieved meaningful savings through vendor and software optimization, including documented annual software savings of $84,000 in relevant engagements. Your leadership team gains cleaner contracts, better accountability, and a more predictable IT budget.

Proactive Support

Reliable User Support

Reliable support matters when deal teams, operating partners, and portfolio leaders need access to critical systems. Thriveon combines responsive end-user support with proactive monitoring, patching, documentation, and continuous improvement.

The support line is answered in under 1 minute on average, with a 70% first-touch resolution rate and client satisfaction consistently above 98%. Beyond tickets, the process focuses on preventing repeat issues and improving the underlying environment over time.

Turn Portfolio Technology Into a Measurable Advantage

Investment firms need technology decisions that support speed, confidentiality, and disciplined growth. Thriveon connects executive IT leadership, cybersecurity, and proactive IT management so your firm can evaluate risk, control spend, and support portfolio companies with greater consistency.

A Fractional CIO provides the strategic bridge between deal priorities and IT execution, including roadmaps, budgets, vendor oversight, security planning, and board-level visibility where appropriate. Instead of reacting to technology problems after they disrupt operations, Thriveon uses a standards-based methodology to identify gaps, improve reliability, and align IT investments with business outcomes.

Reduce IT Risk Before It Reaches the Boardroom

Technology risk should be visible before it affects valuation, productivity, or compliance. Thriveon helps venture capital and private equity firms bring structure to IT across internal teams and portfolio environments.

Cybersecurity risk assessments with a quantifiable score and improvement roadmap
Fractional CIO guidance for technology budgets, governance, and board reporting
Vendor and license reviews to reduce duplication and unnecessary spend
Proactive audits across Microsoft 365, identity, networks, endpoints, and servers
Compliance support for frameworks such as SOC II, NIST, ISO 27001, and HIPAA when relevant

Build Scalable IT Governance for Growth

Growth creates IT complexity. New acquisitions, fund operations, remote teams, application changes, and compliance expectations can quickly turn fragmented systems into operational drag. Thriveon brings the governance and execution discipline needed to standardize technology without slowing the business.

Your leadership team gains documented priorities, clear accountability, and a practical path for improving security, support, infrastructure, and applications. With proactive management built on more than 500 self-developed best practices, Thriveon helps prevent recurring issues, simplify decision-making, and create a scalable IT foundation for the next stage of growth.
