    Family Office Security Audit — A 30-Day Programme

    Family OfficeBy Roy · Director, VIP Protection Services30 June 202610 min read

    The short version: Family Office Security Audit — A 30-Day Programme — 2026-rated SIA cover, insured. short-notice cover, subject to availability in London, nationwide by arrangement.

    Most family offices have grown the security architecture by accretion — a CPO here, a residence there, a vetting policy that nobody has tested. A 30-day independent audit resets the baseline and produces a written, prioritised remediation plan.

    Week 1 — Staff & Vetting Review

    BS 7858 status of every household and office hire reviewed. Right-to-work, criminal record, employment history, social media. Gaps logged; remediation timed.

    Week 2 — Residence & Movement

    Walk-through of primary, secondary and travel residences. Door, alarm, panic-room route, neighbour familiarisation. Movement protocol for principals reviewed against current threat picture.

    Week 3 — Travel & Digital Overlap

    Standard travel pattern reviewed for predictability. Digital exposure (geo-tagged posts, household account leakage) reviewed. Insurance certificates aligned with documented risk.

    Week 4 — Written Report & Remediation Plan

    60–80 page written report with prioritised remediation, indicative cost and 90-day implementation plan. Delivered under NDA to principal or principal's chief of staff.

    Pricing — Audit Programme

    Single-family-office 30-day audit: priced per assignment. Multi-residence international scope: bespoke. Implementation handled separately if desired.
