About Us

The Cyber Foundation Vision

TCF was founded by family office leaders who have experienced the gap between the institutional-scale risk family offices face and the resources available to address it. That lived experience has shaped our vision to create purpose-built standards, develop practical guidance, and provide independent advisory support designed specifically for family offices.

Ynez Arce, Founder and Advisor at The Cyber Foundation

Ynez Arce

FounderAdvisor

Ynez has worked in family office finance and operations since 2007, living through the shift from in-house infrastructure to cloud and SaaS - and the security challenges that followed. As a family office executive and Advisor to The Cyber Foundation, Ynez is helping to lead the effort to build what the industry has lacked: a practical, organized framework for managing cybersecurity in family offices.

Kasey Batterman, Founder, Technology and Strategy at The Cyber Foundation

Kasey Batterman

FounderTechnology & Strategy

Kasey has spent more than twenty years dedicated to elite digital security - at the intersection of technology, risk, and trust within the highest levels of the Family Office world. He has built programs from the ground up, led teams, and worked directly with families to manage risk where no roadmap existed. Along the way, he developed insights and standards the broader industry had yet to imagine. The Cyber Foundation is the natural extension of that work, born from seeing what was missing and the resolve to build it.

FAQs

Is The Cyber Foundation a non-profit?
The Cyber Foundation currently operates as a fiscally sponsored project of the Digital Harbor Foundation. As a fiscally sponsored project, we adhere to the non-profit model of our parent organization including compliance and tax-exempt status for donations. You can support our work with tax-deductible contributions.
Why a non-profit? Why not just another cybersecurity firm?
We’ve spent our careers working in family offices and have experienced firsthand how vendor-driven agendas and conflicting guidance leave family offices without the independent support they need. A non-profit structure allows us to do this work differently, setting standards, advancing education, and providing truly independent guidance.
What makes you different than IT or cybersecurity consultants?
The Cyber Foundation works to evolve family office cybersecurity across multiple capacities including standards development, advisory partnerships, education, vetting vendors and service providers, and other strategic initiatives. We are agnostic partners, working to have industry-wide impact.
Do you provide services?
We partner with family offices to provide advisory services as cybersecurity Owner’s Representatives. We are here to understand your needs and represent your interests. As such, we are platform, vendor, and service agnostic, providing guidance, identifying gaps in service and knowledge, developing a vision for your organization, and connecting you with the right partners.
How is The Cyber Foundation funded?
We have a number of funding sources. As a fiscally-sponsored project of the Digital Harbor Foundation, we are able to receive contributions from donor advised funds, bequests, and tax-deductible private party donations. Additionally, our projects and initiatives may be sponsored by trusted partners who share our mission.
