A ransomware attack or wire-fraud scheme can quickly affect an entire private equity portfolio. Coalition believes that stronger cyber insurance and continuous security tools can help reduce this risk. The company has launched a Private Equity Practice for firms, sponsors, general partners, and their portfolio companies. This new service combines cyber insurance with cybersecurity tools for deal teams and risk managers. Coalition says the practice helps manage cyber risks from deal screening to exit, offering early monitoring and visibility. The package, called Active Cyber Insurance, combines coverage with risk management tools. Marcin Weryk will lead the Private Equity Practice.
“I’m thrilled that Marcin Weryk, a seasoned leader at Coalition who is experienced in the private equity industry, will lead this new practice and help guide firms through their cyber risk journeys,” said Shawn Ram, Coalition’s Chief Revenue Officer.
Cyner Insurance With Faster Diligence And Portfolio Visibility
Coalition says it can provide security assessments and premium quotes within 24 hours. This helps speed up cyber due diligence so deals can move forward without delay. Coalition Control, a single dashboard, tracks risks for both individual companies and entire portfolios, helping teams find and address exposures early.
Marcin Weryk stated, “Our goal is simple: provide private equity companies with custom cybersecurity and insurance solutions that meet both their needs and those of their portfolio companies.”
Coverage, Recovery Support, And Security Services
Coverage includes ransomware, funds transfer fraud, and invoice manipulation, as well as rapid claims support and flexible policy structures. Options include master programs where available and standalone tail coverage, plus private equity-focused underwriting and claims support.

Coalition also described fraud recovery steps that include law enforcement coordination and emergency injunctions. Buyers can access Coalition Incident Response consulting tied to acquisitions, including technical validation and integration support. Coalition highlighted automated MDR services and a free 90-day Wirespeed MDR trial. Wirespeed clients may qualify for premium credits up to 12.5%, Coalition said. Coalition also reported that policyholders see 73% fewer claims than the industry average.
“Private equity firms need speed and certainty in cyber due diligence without sacrificing rigor,” said Weryk.
Availability
Coalition said the private equity cyber insurance offer is available to eligible organizations in North America through broker partners. Interested organizations are encouraged to contact their broker partners to learn more or apply. The company also plans international expansion.
