ORAM Tailors Technology & Cybersecurity Services for Any Family Office

High-net-worth individuals (HNWI) have special needs when it comes to technology and cybersecurity. They often require a complete team of people to assist them with their estates from landscapers to estate managers. When a family office requires tools such as an estate manager, they are large enough to also need a cybersecurity technologist to protect its assets. That’s where ORAM Corporate Advisors comes in.What is a Family Office?A family office is a private wealth management advisory firm that supports the unique needs of HNWIs. Whether a long affluent family or a newly wealthy individual, family offices provide a team of individuals to protect the family or individual’s assets with services from budgeting and insurance to tax services and charitable giving.Technology, Cybersecurity & the Family OfficeAs a family or individual with such large assets, they typically have a target on their back, even if they are not considered high-profile. Cybercriminals are looking for large paydays when it comes to breaches and an HNWI is an ideal target. That’s why employing the best technology and cybersecurity are so imperative to protecting the wealth of the family or individual.When it comes to a family office, the term doesn’t just refer to a business owned and operated by the HNWI or family, but the individual, entire family, and any businesses owned and operated by them. It also includes the team of people that supports and protects them. This means protecting everyone from the mother and father, the children, extended family, and even staff members working within the household and in the organizations owned and operated by the family office.Protecting the Family OfficeWhen it comes to protecting the family office, technology and cybersecurity must be constantly employed to secure assets from nefarious actors. No family office is too small to become a victim and proper cybersecurity is a necessity in today’s world where breaches are on the rise.In the report Surveying the Risk and Threat Landscape to Family Offices: Insights and Recommendations by Dentons, 26 percent of family offices report having suffered a cyberattack. Additionally, the report showed that 17 percent of family offices suffered a cyberattack in the last 12 months. Furthermore, Dentons reported that underestimating threats and complacency are serious obstacles to the risk management of family offices with 47 percent underestimating threat levels, 41 percent being too complacent in their approach to cybersecurity, and 38 percent citing cost as a reason for failing to properly implement cybersecurity.According to EisnerAmper, statistics show family offices are at an increasingly higher risk for targeted data breaches. A recent UBS Global Family Office Report 2022 warned, “Cybersecurity will also increase in terms of cost. It’s a very high agenda point at the board and family level.” Wealth Briefing Asia reported that the USB also showed nearly half of family offices in both the United States and Switzerland were worried about cybersecurity and the danger of being hacked due to the fact significant wealth is involved.ORAM Corporate Advisors is a tool in the tool belt to protect and manage the family’s assets.
