The process
From baseline to ongoing protection
- 01
Baseline: Phase I
An intelligence analyst manually removes personal information from hundreds of online data aggregators, sharply reducing the risk that a basic threat actor finds a client's home address, vehicle, phone number, email, or family relations through a search engine or data broker.
- 02
Baseline: Phase II
We build a complete risk profile, ranking exposure across residential, financial, communication, social media, family, travel, and lifestyle categories. The profile is delivered to the client along with a verbal debriefing of the work performed. From there, the client can address some vulnerabilities themselves with our guidance, or have them professionally removed in the Advanced Phase.
- 03
Advanced Phase
Manual removal or obfuscation of the deeper personally identifiable information (PII) identified in Phase II. The primary goal remains protecting residences and other physical assets, with close attention paid to travel, including hotels, rental cars, and airlines. These are frequent targets of advanced threat actors, particularly where C-suite executives and high net worth individuals are concerned.
- 04
Monitoring
Alongside traditional dark web monitoring, DataShroud® keeps personal information suppressed across every category we cover, flagging vulnerabilities as they surface. Remediation begins immediately. The work is part software-driven and part hands-on, with intelligence analysts regularly checking a client's exposure and launching their own investigations to find where other vulnerabilities may lie.
