Case Study

Compliance and technology infrastructure for two real estate fund raises

How KTG delivered the governance documents, security policies, and audit remediation that anchored investor due diligence across two real estate fund raises — under a low-touch advisory engagement.

A real estate investment firm preparing to close two new fund raises faced increasing investor diligence demands — formal disaster recovery, data loss prevention, audit-ready governance, and incident response capabilities — without the in-house compliance or IT infrastructure to satisfy them. Existing audit findings, privileged-user gaps, and a fragmented document landscape across four-plus repository systems were compounding the timeline pressure for capital close.

KTG took on the full compliance and infrastructure stack as Fractional CTO under a low-touch advisory engagement. Delivered the four core governance documents: a DLP Policy with four-tier data classification on Microsoft 365 / Purview, a Disaster Recovery Plan with RTO/RPO tables and break-glass procedures, a Tabletop Exercise Playbook, and an updated IT Framework with expanded BCDR. Coordinated audit remediation across privileged-user controls, BCM policy, and DR readiness. Established the operational backbone in parallel: Okta SSO rollout, Intune endpoint auto-lock, KnowBe4 security awareness training, and SharePoint document standardization with AI-assisted classification on the roadmap.

Governance Documents Delivered

DLP Policy, Disaster Recovery Plan, Tabletop Exercise Playbook, and updated IT Framework with expanded BCDR — all redlined by client compliance and shipped at version two, ready for investor review.

Audit Remediation Established

Privileged-user controls, BCM policy, and DR readiness coordinated into a single remediation framework. Operational backbone — Okta SSO, Intune, KnowBe4 — set up in parallel without disrupting business operations.

Investor DD-Ready Posture

The firm walked into investor due diligence with formal documentation and a defensible IT posture across both fund raises. Document AI roadmap delivered and adopted as the next phase of the engagement.
