I have found AITEC’s cybersecurity due diligence document to be an invaluable resource in strengthening investment firms’ cybersecurity stance regarding third party access.

_{Partnership Program - NEW!}

The AITEC Partnership Program is designed to bring more value to members by providing bridges to select firms. These bridges will allow for value flow both ways. Members can provide direct feedback to our Partners to enhance their offerings, which in turn creates better products with more intrinsic value to our members and thus their client base.

_{AITEC-AIMA DDQ} 

In 2014, AITEC created a vendor DDQ to streamline the process of conducting due diligence on vendors servicing the alternative investment industry.  The DDQ represents a superset of technology questions compiled by a committee of AITEC members who are senior technologists in the financial services industry.  AITEC has since partnered with the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) to greatly expand the reach of the DDQ and rebranded it to the AITEC-AIMA Illustrative Questionnaire for the Due Diligence of Vendor Technology and Cyber Security.

AITEC and AIMA are a single industry voice sharing its knowledge to promote efficiency.  The benefit of a standard approach is realized across the industry. Vendors benefit by having a single set of questions disseminated to multiple parties.  In return, clients will receive consistent information across vendors more timely.

_{AITEC Gives Back Golf Tournament} 

Vendors are encouraged to sponsor the AITEC Gives Back Foundation’s Annual Golf Classic. Learn more about the golf tournament.

_{Executive Winter Retreat} 

The Executive Winter Retreat typically takes place in February or March and is open to a select number of sponsor firms. Join our e-mail list to receive updates about this and other opportunities. 

_{Speaking Engagements} 

From time to time, the AITEC Board will invite vendors to speak at member events. We seek expert opinion leaders whose deep industry knowledge brings real value to our members.

AITEC does not endorse solutions, vendors, or market practices. AITEC does not score, rate, pass, or recommend any specific solution or vendor. The opinion of individual members does not reflect the broad opinion of the AITEC group. Qualitative due diligence on a vendor is the exclusive responsibility of the member.
