Technology That Moves at the Speed of Deals

Why London PE Firms Trust Nerdster

Private equity operates at the intersection of speed, confidentiality, and complexity. Every deal involves sensitive financial data moving between multiple parties, every portfolio company presents a unique technology environment, and every regulatory requirement demands documentation that your firm may not have time to produce.

Nerdster provides private equity IT services in London that are purpose-built for this reality. We understand that your technology needs to protect deal flow, scale with your portfolio, and satisfy regulators — all without slowing down the pace of business.

Secure Deal Rooms and Transaction Infrastructure

The integrity of your deal pipeline depends on the security of every document, communication, and data room interaction. A single breach during due diligence can kill a transaction, expose investor data, or create regulatory liability that follows your firm for years.

We build and manage secure deal room infrastructure with end-to-end encryption, granular access controls, comprehensive audit trails, and data loss prevention policies. Every stage of a transaction — from initial screening to completion — is protected by enterprise-grade security that your counterparties and LPs expect.

Portfolio Company IT as a Value Creation Lever

Most PE firms inherit a patchwork of technology environments across their portfolio. Some companies run modern cloud infrastructure; others operate on legacy systems with significant security gaps. This inconsistency creates risk and reduces operational value at exit.

Nerdster standardises IT across your portfolio companies. We implement cybersecurity baselines, cloud infrastructure best practices, endpoint management, and compliance frameworks that reduce technology risk and create measurable operational improvements. When it comes time to exit, a well-managed technology environment is a tangible value driver that buyers recognise.

DORA Compliance Built Into Operations

The Digital Operational Resilience Act has raised the bar for every financial services firm, including private equity. DORA requires documented ICT risk management, regular operational resilience testing, strict incident reporting, and formal oversight of third-party technology providers.

We do not treat compliance as a checkbox exercise. Our team builds DORA frameworks that integrate with your existing operations, so compliance is maintained continuously rather than scrambled together before an audit. This approach protects your firm and gives your LPs confidence that operational resilience is embedded, not bolted on.

IT Due Diligence That Informs Better Decisions

Technology risk is increasingly material to deal valuation. Legacy infrastructure, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, licensing non-compliance, and integration complexity can all impact post-acquisition costs and timelines.

Our IT due diligence assessments provide detailed, actionable reports that your deal team can use to adjust valuations, plan integrations, and identify quick wins. We evaluate infrastructure maturity, security posture, technical debt, and data architecture — giving you clarity before you commit capital.

Built for the Pace of Private Equity

PE firms do not operate on IT support timelines. When a deal is closing, when a portfolio company has a security incident, or when a regulatory deadline is approaching, you need immediate, competent support from people who understand your business.

Nerdster delivers that. Our team knows the PE operating model, speaks the language of fund management, and provides the kind of responsive, expert support that keeps your firm moving at deal speed.
