Regulatory pressure compounds exposure
Family offices and their advisers also face a tightening regulatory environment that directly mirrors insurer requirements. The SEC’s amendments to Regulation S-P took effect for smaller registered investment advisers on June 3, 2026, introducing a written incident response program, a 30-day customer breach notification obligation and expanded vendor oversight requirements, according to Omega Systems. The SEC’s Division of Examinations has identified Regulation S-P compliance as a fiscal year 2026 priority, with examiners focused on security controls, staff training and operational resilience against AI-related threats, according to Shulman Rogers.
