We Work With Carpenters Union Benefit Funds. And Other Taft-Hartley Plans That Take Their ERISA Obligations Seriously.
Most IT and cybersecurity firms don't understand the Taft-Hartley environment. We do. It's the only environment we work in.
A Different Kind of Organization Requires a Different Kind of Partner
Taft-Hartley multiemployer benefit funds are not corporations. They are not government agencies. They don't operate like a typical employer's HR department.
They are jointly-trusteed organizations governed by both labor and management representatives, operating under ERISA, subject to DOL and EBSA oversight, and carrying fiduciary obligations that are personal, not organizational. When something goes wrong, it's not just the fund that is exposed. It's the trustees.
The people who run these organizations, including trustees, executive directors, fund administrators, and their staff, work inside a combination of regulatory pressure, participant expectations, vendor dependency, and operational complexity that most outside firms have never encountered.
When those organizations call a generic IT or cybersecurity firm, they spend half the conversation explaining what a Taft-Hartley fund is. That's not a partnership. That's a liability.
Who We Work With
Trustees
You carry fiduciary responsibility for how this fund operates. That includes how participant data is protected, how vendors are overseen, how technology decisions are made, and how the fund would respond if something went wrong.
You need a partner who understands that every decision you make about IT and cybersecurity has a governance dimension, not just an operational one. We help trustees demonstrate prudent oversight, build defensible documentation, and reduce the risk that a technology failure becomes a fiduciary event.
Executive Directors and Fund Administrators
You are responsible for making the fund office run, day in and day out, across eligibility, contributions, claims, communications, distributions, and vendor relationships. You carry the operational weight of everything the trustees govern.
You need a partner who understands that efficiency, accuracy, and continuity are not just IT concerns. They are participant-service obligations. We help fund administrators reduce operational drag, close the gaps that create risk, and build an office that doesn't depend on heroics to function.
Why Generic Firms Don't Fit This Market
Most IT and cybersecurity providers are built for corporate clients: medium-sized businesses, healthcare systems, financial institutions. They have standard onboarding processes, standard security frameworks, and standard language that does not map to the Taft-Hartley world.
They may be technically competent. But they have never navigated a DOL audit. They don't know what a remittance reconciliation workflow looks like. They don't understand the difference between an ERISA fidelity bond and a cyber insurance policy. They don't know what happens when a TPA has a breach and your fund is downstream of it.
We do.
Revolt Fund Guard, a Revolt program, works primarily with Carpenters union benefit funds and select other ERISA-governed Taft-Hartley plans. Our clients don't spend time explaining their environment to us. We come in already knowing it, which means we spend our time actually protecting it.
If You Run a Carpenters Fund or Another Taft-Hartley Plan, We'd Like to Talk
We keep our client relationships small and focused. When we take on a new fund, we commit to understanding it: the people, the workflows, the vendors, the ERISA obligations, and the risks that come with all of it. If that sounds like the kind of partner your fund office needs, the first step is a conversation.
