Every advisor is a way in to every client.
Your advisors are publicly named by design. That is how the business works, and it is also the targeting list. One compromised advisor inbox is not one exposure. It is a credential to impersonate the firm to every household that advisor serves. We map that surface before someone else does, and we document it in a form your examination file can carry.
Four reasons the wealth firm surface is different.
Advisors are named in public by design
Team pages, regulatory filings, LinkedIn, conference rosters. The roster that wins business is the same roster an attacker enumerates on day one.
Impersonation borrows the trust you built
A lookalike domain and a spoofable mail configuration let an outsider send wire instructions that read as the firm. The client's guard is down precisely because your relationship is strong.
Client identity concentrates in one estate
Custodial statements, estate documents, and household financial detail all flow through advisor mailboxes. Compromise one inbox and the blast radius is the book, not the desk.
Disclosure is not optional
Under SEC Regulation S-P and the updated Safeguards Rule, incidents touching client records carry notification duties. Dated evidence of proactive review belongs in the file before the exam, not after the incident.
What the engagement delivers.
Advisor-level attribution
Findings are attributed to the named advisor and mailbox they touch, so remediation lands with a person rather than a committee.
Impersonation surface
Lookalike domains, spoofable mail posture, and the public footprint an attacker would use to write in your firm's voice.
Examination-ready documentation
Dated, evidence-backed findings mapped to SEC Regulation S-P, GLBA, and FINRA guidance. Evidence of diligence, prepared for the compliance file. This is not a certification, and we will never describe it as one.
Continuous coverage on conversion
Firms that continue past the initial engagement move to ongoing monitoring with briefings scoped to the firm and its enrolled client households.
