Industry · Family Office + UHNW
Naples to Palm Beach.
A senior practice for the principal.
245 verified Florida single-family offices (Altss Q1 2025). Naples leads FL in millionaire density — Port Royal alone is over 55%. Serious SFOs spend $200K-$500K per year on cybersecurity. Most still get sold a per-seat enterprise stack that doesn’t map to the actual UHNW threat model: deepfake-CEO wire fraud, household-member compromise, vendor impersonation, executive surveillance. We run the practice that does.
Varcoe is headquartered in Naples. The first call is with Quinn directly. NDA-protected from minute one.
What we run for family-office partners
Eight components. Tuned to the principal.
Principal + Household Threat Model
Documented per-principal threat profile — public exposure, real-estate footprint, household staff, family members, philanthropic surface. Updated quarterly. Drives every other control on the list.
Deepfake + Wire-Fraud Defense
Voice-print verification protocols for treasury wires, video-call codeword authentication, vendor-impersonation detection, finalize-payment-by-callback policy. The deepfake CEO playbook is the #1 SFO loss event.
Executive + Family Email Hardening
MFA + conditional access + advanced phishing protection (Abnormal, Material, Sublime). DMARC + SPF + DKIM enforced across personal + family domains. Travel-mode posture for principals abroad.
Household Endpoint + Network
Senior IT for principal household: hardened laptops + phones + tablets, segmented home network, smart-home device isolation, Wi-Fi audit, residential VPN, backup posture for personal devices.
OSINT + Brand + Reputation Monitoring
Continuous OSINT on principal + family + holdings + key staff. Dark web monitoring. Typosquat + impersonation detection. Quarterly threat-actor briefing.
Travel + Physical + Digital Convergence
Pre-travel digital posture (burner devices, VPN, bricked phones in-region), in-region monitoring, physical-security coordination with executive protection providers, post-travel device sanitization.
Vendor + Service-Provider Risk
SFO-specific vendor risk: art advisors, yacht crew, household staff agencies, accountants, attorneys, philanthropy advisors. Annual review. Background-check coordination where appropriate.
Incident Response + Insurance Liaison
Pre-vetted breach counsel relationships. Cyber + kidnap & ransom insurance carrier liaison. IR retainer pre-negotiated with carriers. Privilege-protected forensic process from minute one.
Buying triggers
When SFOs evaluate a new partner.
Wire fraud near-miss. Family office finance director catches a $1M+ vendor-impersonation wire mid-attempt. The board asks ‘how do we stop this from happening for real next time?’ That’s the trigger. We document the codeword + callback protocol the same week.
Principal LinkedIn / news exposure. Forbes profile, philanthropic announcement, real-estate closing in the news. Public exposure spikes phishing + impersonation attempts within 30 days. We pre-position monitoring + hardening before the article runs.
Peer SFO incident. A peer family office lost $2M to deepfake CEO wire fraud last quarter. Quinn’s first call: 30 minutes, NDA-protected, walk through the same threat surface for your principal. That’s how this practice grows.
Insurance carrier questionnaire. Cyber + K&R insurance underwriting now requires documented MFA + endpoint protection + IR retainer before binding above $5M. We translate the questionnaire into renewal-ready evidence.
Generational transition / next-gen onboarding. Next-gen principals coming of age inherit unmonitored email accounts, unsecured devices, social-media exposure. We onboard them properly with executive-tier hardening from day one.
