I want to explain why we did this and what it means for the firms that move money through 6lock.
Where fraud enters private markets
Private equity runs on large, time-sensitive transfers among fund managers, investors, administrators, and portfolio companies. Many firms still exchange banking details and approve payments through email, spreadsheets, and callbacks. Business email compromise, social engineering, and impersonation attacks are built to exploit exactly those channels. Capital calls, distributions, deals, and vendor payments all pass through them.
Trust in a high-value transaction should not depend on whether an email looks familiar or a voice sounds right.
Prevention comes first
6lock built Verified Money Movement around that belief. The platform guides every participant through four steps: invite, verify, fund, and reconcile. Verified people and entities, verified account ownership, and approved instructions are established before money moves. Sensitive banking details stay out of email. Firms keep their existing banking relationships. Every transaction produces a real-time, auditable record from invitation through settlement. We are SOC 2 Type II compliant, and we designed the platform to lock fraud and human error out of fund flows.
What insurance adds
We designed 6lock to remove the manual processes and unverified communications that let fraudulent instructions into a transaction. Insurance sits behind that design as another layer. Eligible transactions now carry coverage of up to $1 million per occurrence, subject to all applicable policy terms, conditions, exclusions, and limits.
Here is what that means for each group we serve:
- Private equity firms: You have a stronger answer when your investors ask what protects their capital during a call or distribution.
- Fund administrators: You get a complementary execution layer that adds verification and coverage to the work you already do for your clients.
- Investors: Capital moves through a process built on verification, with insurance coverage behind eligible transactions.
Why I'm excited about this
When we started 6lock, we set out to make Verified Money Movement the operational standard for private markets. A standard needs more than good software. It needs controls that hold up, records that stand up to audit, and financial backing that firms can point to when an investor or a board asks the hard questions. Verification, a SOC 2 Type II report, and now coverage in the Lloyd's market give our customers all three.
This milestone was built by the people who run 6lock every day, and the firms who trusted us early made it possible. I'm proud of the work, and I'm confident about where it leads. Every firm that moves to verified money movement makes the entire private markets ecosystem harder to attack.
