Family Cyber Safety · Kids · Spouse · Household

Your kid's iPad is
the weakest link
in the house.

We fix that without making them hate you.
You've locked down your own accounts. Your kids' devices run on old Apple IDs, no content filtering, and the same Wi-Fi password your housekeeper has. Your spouse's phone has photos on iCloud and passwords on a sticky note. The family is the attack surface. We close it — for every person, every device.

Kids' devices

What we set up
for the kids

Age-appropriate. Not oppressive. The goal is protection without a daily fight — policies that hold even when you're not in the room.

01
Separate Apple IDs Done Correctly

Most kids share a parent's Apple ID or have one that's never been properly locked down. We create a correct child Apple ID under your Family Sharing plan with purchase approvals on, Screen Time parental controls configured, and location sharing set up in a way that doesn't require you to constantly interrogate your kid. Each child gets their own vault credentials for the few accounts they actually need — nothing else.

02
Screen Time Without the Daily Fight

We configure Screen Time (iOS) and Digital Wellbeing (Android) properly — not just slapping on an hour limit and calling it done. App categories locked by age, downtime schedules that actually match your household rules, communication limits so they can reach you but not run open DMs with strangers. The passcode for Screen Time is yours, not theirs. When they hit a limit, they ask you — not a UI that gives them six workarounds.

03
Content Filtering That Actually Works on iOS and Android

DNS-level filtering on the home network combined with on-device restrictions. We use a managed DNS resolver (NextDNS or equivalent) that blocks entire category trees — adult content, social media during school hours, gambling, hate content — without you needing to maintain a block list. When your kid connects to a friend's Wi-Fi, the device-level restrictions are still in effect. One layer fails gracefully into the other.

04
Location Sharing That Respects Privacy

Find My Family configured with the right share-with settings per child by age. Younger kids share location with both parents continuously. Older teens get a "check in" model instead — share when they arrive somewhere, not a live feed that treats a 16-year-old like a package. AirTag scanning enabled on their devices so they know if someone's tracking them without consent. We document who can see whom and why — no silent surveillance, no mystery.

05
AirTag and Tracker Monitoring

Unknown AirTags and Bluetooth trackers travel in bags, jackets, and backpacks — sometimes placed by strangers, sometimes by people who know your kid. We enable Unknown Accessory Alerts on every iOS device and install Android tracking detector apps on every Android device in the household. Your kids know to check, know what the alert means, and know to bring it to you. We set up a response protocol: what to do when one is found, who to call.

Spouse onboarding

What we set up
for the spouse

Independent. Not subordinate to the principal's account. The spouse should have their own security posture — not a dependent extension of yours.

01
Independent Password Vault with Shared-Where-Appropriate Access

Your spouse gets their own 1Password account — not a seat on yours with full visibility into everything. The family vault is shared for household logins (streaming, utilities, the household Wi-Fi). Personal logins stay in their private vault. Your business credentials stay in yours. Sharing is deliberate: a shared item, not a shared account. We migrate every credential they have from browser autofill, Apple Keychain, or memory — nothing left unsecured.

02
Breach Monitoring on Their Email and Phone Number

Your spouse's email and phone number appear in data breaches they've never heard about. We enroll every address and number they use in continuous HIBP-backed monitoring. When a breach surfaces their credentials — and it will — the alert goes to them and to Amir. Compromised credentials are rotated the same day. Phone number alerts trigger a SIM-lock review. This isn't a one-time check — it's ongoing, monthly, for as long as they're a member of this household.

03
Social Media Privacy Lockdown

Every social media account your spouse uses — Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X — gets a privacy audit. Who can see their location tag history? Who's in their follower list that shouldn't be? Are old apps still connected to their accounts? We work through each platform's privacy settings systematically: audience controls, connected app revocations, data download and deletion requests for platforms they've left. Public posts that shouldn't be public get addressed. Former employers, old gyms, and defunct accounts get cleaned up.

04
A Real Backup of Their Photos That Survives a Lost Phone

iCloud Photo Library is not a backup — it's a sync. If they delete a photo on the phone, it disappears from iCloud too. If the account is compromised, the photos are gone. We set up a proper three-layer backup: iCloud as the working copy, a secondary encrypted backup to a dedicated cloud account (Backblaze or equivalent), and an annual archive to a physical encrypted drive stored at home. Photo library is documented by size and date. Recovery procedure is tested. We don't call it done until we've run a restore drill.

Monthly monitoring

What we watch
every month

Setup is one day. Monitoring is permanent. The household changes — new devices, new apps, new accounts. We track the delta so you don't have to.

Active household monitoring stack
Four layers. Continuous.
  • New account signups by the kids — we watch for new app accounts linked to your child's email addresses. When a new login appears that wasn't there last month — a new social platform, a gaming account, a site with age verification that was bypassed — it surfaces in the monthly review. We flag what's unexpected, you decide what to do. You're not auditing your child's phone every month; we are.
  • New device joins on the home network — every device that connects to your home network is logged. New devices get reviewed: what it is, who brought it in, whether it belongs. A new gaming console is fine. A device with an unfamiliar MAC address connecting at 2am is not. We review the device list monthly and flag anything that shouldn't be there.
  • Breach hits on any family email — every email address in the household — yours, your spouse's, the addresses your kids use — is enrolled in continuous breach monitoring. A new breach surfaces, Amir knows before the password reuse can cause damage. Affected accounts are locked and rotated before the attacker has time to exploit the credential. This runs automatically; you only hear about it when something actually hits.
  • Suspicious login alerts routed to the principal — login notifications from your kids' accounts and your spouse's critical accounts are routed to Amir for review, and escalated to you when something's wrong. You don't see every routine login — only the ones that don't fit: wrong device, wrong location, wrong time of day. When something looks off, you hear about it. When it's normal, you don't.
The direct line

How your spouse calls
Amir directly

The principal doesn't have to be the relay. When something happens to your spouse's device, they should be able to reach the right person without going through you first.

How it works
One contact. Named. Stored on their phone. During onboarding, your spouse gets Amir's direct number saved to their contacts. Not a helpdesk. Not a support queue. Not "ask your husband first." When their phone is acting strangely, when they get a suspicious call, when they think something's wrong — they text or call directly. Amir knows their setup. He doesn't need to be briefed on who they are or what devices they use. He can act immediately.
What's covered
Any household member can surface an incident. Your kids can't call Amir directly — that goes through you. But your spouse has full access. Their concerns are treated with the same urgency as yours. A suspicious text they received. A weird popup on their laptop. An account they think was accessed without their knowledge. They don't have to decide if it's serious enough to mention — they ask, and Amir assesses.
The limit
One person who knows everything. There's no team. There's no escalation path. It's Amir. That's the model — one expert who knows your household, your devices, and your history. When you're traveling, your spouse isn't left managing an unknown support contact. They have the same person they've dealt with since day one. That continuity is why it works.
Part of the Family Guard tier

Everything on this page is included in Family Guard ($799/mo) → and in Estate Protection ($1,599/mo) →. The direct-line access, the kids' device setup, the spouse onboarding — it all comes with full household membership. If you're protecting one person and want to add the family later, that's a conversation we have during onboarding. The household doesn't have to be all-or-nothing from day one.

Your family is part
of your security posture.

You can lock down your own accounts perfectly and still get hit through your kid's iPad or your spouse's old email. The household is the attack surface. We fix the whole thing. Request an assessment — we'll tell you what's exposed and what it takes to close it.
