Discretion is a condition: whoever sees your query is part of the examination.
In a family office, every check is a matter of trust — toward the family and toward us. Indicium reports carry dated sources, a full audit trail and a confidentiality model that treats your inquiry as part of the engagement. Your queries stay under European law, are not used for training, and reach only the people who process them.
Not the check. The trust you build around it.
Discretion is not a feature. It is the engagement.
A check ordered by a family office can touch the most sensitive affairs of a family. That is why our confidentiality model is explicit — before the first report runs.
| Principle | What it means | How Indicium implements it |
|---|---|---|
| EU hosting | Your most sensitive data stays under European law | Query and report data hosted and processed in the EU, on AWS infrastructure (Frankfurt/Ireland) |
| No training use | Your inquiries never become model training data | Contractual commitment; access limited to the case team |
| revDSG | Swiss data-protection framework respected for Swiss-related matters | Processing follows the revDSG framework; roles assigned in writing, case by case |
| Art. 22 GDPR | No solely automated decision with legal effect about a person | Human final review at fixed trigger thresholds, four-eyes principle, audit trail |
The honest boundary: what is registered nowhere — unregistered trusts, purely private holdings — no automated check can see from open and licensed sources. Every report states that limit rather than papering over it.
€79 is the automated baseline — not the whole spectrum.
A price that low invites the question every principal is right to ask: can this actually be trusted? The honest answer is that €79 buys the Essential tier of the Software-Report — the fully automated depth that resolves around 70% of routine cases, every source dated and reproducible as of the cut-off date. It is the baseline, not the ceiling.
Where the stakes are higher — a suspicious counterparty, a nested ownership structure, a case that will end up in front of the family — Hybrid adds documented human review under the four-eyes principle, and Boutique is fully analyst-led. You choose the depth per case; the audit trail records which depth you chose and why. Set against a partner-rate hour of outside counsel, even the analyst-led depth is a fraction of the cost.
"With Indicium, we were able to implement a digital process that provides structured and traceable reports and supports our internal documentation processes. The decisive factors for us were European data residency and the clear consent structure."— Bruno Schneller, Managing Partner, Erlen Capital Management AG
Erlen Capital is a FINMA-licensed asset manager, not a family office — but it operates under the same documentation bar: KYC, anti-money-laundering and ongoing-monitoring duties that must survive internal and external audit. Read the case study →
