Consultations for specified concerns and additional recommendations are provided and addressed for every service.
The Process
BASELINE PHASE I
An Intelligence Analyst manually removes personal information from hundreds of online data aggregators, eliminating the risk a Basic Threat Actor will find a client’s home, vehicle, phone, email or family relations via search engines and data aggregators.
BASELINE PHASE II
A holistic risk profile is created, ranking exposure at the residential, financial, communication, social media, family, travel and lifestyle levels. This risk profile is furnished to the client along with a verbal debriefing of efforts. The client may remediate some of the vulnerabilities themselves with our guidance, or elect to have them professionally purged in the Advanced Phase.
ADVANCED PHASE
Manual removal or obfuscation of the more advanced PII identified in Baseline Phase II. The primary goal continues to be the protection of residences and other real life items. Keen attention is also paid to travel, including hotels, rental cars, and airlines. These are popular targets of Advanced Threat Actors, particularly related to C-Suite executives and high net worth individuals.
MONITORING
In addition to traditional dark web monitoring, DataShroud® monitoring ensures a consistent blackout of PII across all areas, with notifications of vulnerabilities as they are detected. Remediation efforts commence immediately. This is part software-driven, and part the active efforts of Intelligence Analysts who regularly check-up on a client’s PII exposure and launch their own investigations to determine where other vulnerabilities may lie.
