Why Family Offices Are Prime Targets

Cybercriminals know family offices manage significant assets with small teams. You're a high-value target without the security infrastructure of large institutions.

Wire Transfer Fraud & BEC

Attackers impersonate family members, wealth advisors, or attorneys to redirect wire transfers. A single fraudulent transfer can result in millions in losses. The FBI reports BEC attacks have caused over $50 billion in global losses.

Targeted Social Engineering

Criminals research family members through social media, public records, and leaked data. They craft convincing scenarios exploiting family dynamics, travel schedules, and relationships with advisors.

Privacy & Reputation Attacks

Extortion attempts, leaked private information, and reputational attacks can damage families personally and professionally. Personal photos, medical records, and family communications are valuable targets.

Advisor & Vendor Compromise

Attackers target accountants, attorneys, and wealth managers who have access to family information. A compromised advisor becomes a trusted pathway into family finances and communications.

Family Office Security FAQ

Questions we commonly address with family offices and principals.

Why are family offices specifically targeted?

Family offices are "big game" targets - they manage substantial assets with small teams, often without dedicated security staff. Criminals know a single compromised email can lead to a multi-million dollar wire transfer. You have the assets of an institution without the security infrastructure.

How do you protect against wire fraud?

We implement multiple layers: advanced email security to detect impersonation, mandatory callback verification using pre-established numbers (never from the email), dual authorization for transfers above thresholds, and staff training to recognize social engineering.

How do you maintain confidentiality?

Discretion is fundamental to our practice. We use code names when requested, encrypted communications, and minimal data retention. We never discuss clients publicly. Many families engage us through their attorneys for additional privilege protection.

Should we extend security to family members?

Yes. Family members are often the entry point for attacks - their social media, travel plans, and relationships provide attackers with social engineering ammunition. We recommend security awareness training and digital hygiene for all family members and close staff.
