Family offices and private equity (PE) firms are reshaping the investment landscape across the UAE and MENA, managing over USD 1 trillion in regional wealth and playing a pivotal role in economic diversification. With family-owned businesses contributing up to 60% of the UAE’s GDP and PE allocations reaching 28% among Middle East family offices, the sector is rapidly institutionalising, embracing global best practices, governance frameworks, and technology-driven investment strategies. For these firms, cybersecurity has become a board-level priority. From securing deal pipelines and investor data to protecting digital assets and ensuring compliance with PDPL, GDPR, and DIFC/ADGM mandates, the stakes are high.

How RSM Helps:

RSM UAE partners with family offices and PE firms to deliver cybersecurity consulting and professional services that safeguard investment platforms, enable secure digital operations, and support regulatory alignment. By embedding trust into wealth management ecosystems, we empower clients to invest boldly and protect their legacy across  generations and geographies.

Case Study:

  • We delivered a full suite of managed security services to a global investment firm, including 24/7 SOC monitoring, quarterly configuration checks (such as O365 mail), and bi-annual VAPT (black box testing). In addition, we provided a detailed incident response and forensics advisory service.
  • For a leading family office in the UAE, we conducted a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment that included VAPT, a dark web scan, and executive training on cybersecurity best practice.
