Serious assets, protected by a very small team
A family office can hold hundreds of millions in assets and run on a handful of people. That combination is exactly what attackers look for, because the money is significant and the security team usually does not exist.
Published research
43% of family offices were attacked in the last year or two
Deloitte's Family Office Cybersecurity Report found that 43% of family offices globally had experienced a cyberattack in the previous 12 to 24 months, rising to 57% in North America and 62% for offices with more than one billion US dollars under management. Despite that, 31% had no incident response plan at all.

Size attracts attention, and a lean team is the reason an attack works rather than a reason it will not happen.
What we hear
The pressure points in family office
Wire and payment instructions
Large transfers approved over email, which is the single most targeted process in this sector.
Family devices outside the office
Phones, laptops, and home networks used by family members who are not employees and never will be.
Several entities, one small team
Trusts, holdings, and operating businesses each with their own systems and no single owner of IT.
Discretion above everything
You need the work done quietly, by people who do not talk about who they work for.
What we put in place
Built for how you actually operate
Not a generic support plan with your industry written on the cover. These are the things that matter in your environment.
Payment fraud controls
Verification steps for wire and payment instruction changes, plus email controls that make impersonation far harder to pull off.
Protection for principals and family
Device security, secure home network setup, and private account hardening for the people an attacker would research first.
Identity controls across entities
Multi factor authentication, conditional access, and a clear record of who can reach which entity's systems.
An incident response plan that exists
Written steps, named contacts, and a tested path back, so nobody is improvising on the worst day.
Backups for private records
Immutable offline copies of documents, accounting data, and correspondence, tested rather than assumed.
Quiet, senior support
A small group of experienced technicians who know the family, hold confidentiality seriously, and do not rotate.
What changes
What it looks like once this is running
We start by reviewing what you have now and telling you honestly what would cause problems. No obligation, and no pressure either way.
