Situations we've been brought into.

Situation

A private equity principal relocating primary residence across jurisdictions commissioned a full exposure assessment ahead of the move. The client had accumulated significant digital history, multiple business identities, and a household of twelve including staff and adult children — all with varying degrees of digital hygiene.

Approach

• Full OSINT and data broker audit across all principal identifiers
• Credential and account inventory across personal, business, and estate structures
• Staff and vendor access review for the transitioning household
• WEM baseline score established pre- and post-intervention

Outcome

WEM score reduced from 87 to 61 over a twelve-week engagement. Eleven data broker listings suppressed. Three dormant high-access accounts closed. Estate vendor access governance documented for the first time.

Situation

A single-family office with operations across four jurisdictions had no dedicated security or resilience function. Following a spear-phishing incident that compromised an estate manager account, the principals engaged Stoneveil to establish ongoing cyber and resilience governance for the full family structure.

Approach

• Fractional CIRO retained across the family office and four operating entities
• Incident review and remediation of the compromised account
• Governance framework built for all seven principals and key staff roles
• Quarterly risk review and annual full-environment assessment established

Outcome

The retained advisory relationship now spans three years. A full vendor access registry has been built and is maintained quarterly. Two subsequent social engineering attempts against staff were identified and contained before compromise.

Situation

A principal with three primary residences and a superyacht was replacing aging estate technology across all properties simultaneously. The integrator proposed a unified platform with remote management access. The client wanted independent review of the security and resilience implications before committing to a multi-million pound installation.

Approach

• Review of proposed architecture, vendor credentials, and remote access model
• Third-party access risk assessment for the persistent integrator connection
• Alternative segmentation approach designed to preserve integrator functionality while reducing blast radius of any compromise
• Contractual requirements drafted for the technology services agreement

Outcome

The installation proceeded with a revised segmentation model. Remote access was scoped to specific systems rather than full network access. A contractual security schedule was added to the integrator agreement — the first of its kind in the client's estate management history.
