Family office cyber readiness

Family Office Cyber and Provider Readiness

Coordinate family office cyber, wire, identity, vendor, and operating response responsibilities before a high-pressure event.

Decision-focused readiness

Make the response usable before it is needed.

Cybersecurity specialists protect systems; continuity planning ensures the family and office know how to decide and operate when an event crosses technical, financial, legal, insurance, communications, and personal-security boundaries.

We work alongside existing office leaders, counsel, fiduciaries, insurers, banks, security providers, and other specialists to clarify the operating response without displacing their professional responsibilities.

When this work helps

  • Cyber plans are technical but do not clarify principal or office decisions
  • Wire, identity, device, or vendor events require several advisers to coordinate
  • The office has not rehearsed how to operate during system or provider disruption
  • Insurance, counsel, security providers, banks, and leadership lack one activation protocol

What the office receives

  • Cross-functional event and decision map
  • Activation thresholds and escalation paths
  • Bank, counsel, insurer, security, and provider coordination plan
  • Manual-workaround and critical-service priorities
  • Tabletop exercise and improvement register

Questions office leaders often ask.

Do you provide cybersecurity testing?

No. Technical testing and managed security should be performed by qualified cybersecurity providers. Our role is to connect their plans to family and office decision-making and operating continuity.

Why include providers in the exercise?

Because real events often require banks, counsel, insurers, IT, security, and office leaders to act in sequence. A technically sound plan can still fail if activation and decision ownership are unclear.

How ready is the office to continue?

A confidential first conversation can identify the continuity question, the appropriate participants, and whether a focused readiness review would add value.
