Most concerning situations begin with information. We show you what is already exposed
Our team will respond within one business day.
If someone became fixated on your family, how much could they already find?
The Digital Exposure Assessment shows you what is publicly available about you and your family, and what someone with hostile intent could do with it.
The problem
Building a detailed picture of a family’s private life takes very little these days. Home addresses, property records, business interests, travel patterns, family connections, school affiliations, the names of household staff. Most of it can be found within minutes. Not by hackers, but by anyone with a laptop and an hour to spare.
The information is rarely in one place. It sits across public records, data broker sites, social media, business filings, charity disclosures and online archives. Each piece looks harmless on its own. Gathered together, it tells someone where you live, when you are away, who you love, and how to reach them.
Most families find out how exposed they are only after something concerning has already happened. By then the decisions are being made under pressure, and the choices have narrowed.
What the assessment covers
The assessment is a one-off review of what is exposed about you and your family. It covers:
- Publicly available information.
- Data broker exposure.
- People-search websites.
- Social media exposure.
- Public records.
- Breached data.
- A full risk analysis.
- A findings report with clear, prioritised recommendations.
Within seven to ten working days, you have a clear picture of what is out there, where it sits, how easily someone could map your routines and relationships, and what a motivated person would learn from a few hours of research. This is not theoretical. It is what is available today about you.
This is what is exposed, why it matters, and what should be done about it.
What you do with what you find
This is not about living in fear. It is about taking back control through understanding. Once exposure is identified, it can be reduced. Once vulnerabilities are understood, they can be dealt with in proportion to the risk, calmly, and without spending for the sake of it.
You receive a clear, prioritised action plan that sets out what can be dealt with immediately, what needs specialist support, and what does not warrant any concern.
Clients tell us the assessment is eye-opening, and reassuring. It replaces uncertainty with clarity, and most leave the briefing relieved rather than worried. They know, often for the first time, exactly where they stand.
How it works
Initial consultation. A confidential conversation to understand your circumstances, what concerns you, and where you would like the assessment to focus.
Research. Systematic analysis across open, deep and secondary sources, using the same methods applied in behavioural threat investigations. The work is done quietly, with your name kept out of anywhere it should not appear.
Findings and briefing. Within seven to ten working days, you will receive a written report and a personal briefing, in person or by video call, explaining what was found, what it means and what matters.
Action plan. A practical roadmap for reducing exposure, with clear guidance on priorities, next steps and where specialist help may be needed.
Investment
The assessment is priced according to family size, geographic coverage and complexity. It includes the full research, a written report, a personal briefing and a prioritised action plan. For clients who go on to retain us, the fee is credited against the engagement.
What comes next
For most clients, the assessment is the start, not the finish. It shows what is exposed and what to do about it, but information has a habit of returning. Circumstances change. New entries appear. The people who matter to you move through the world, and the data about them moves with them.
From here, there are two retained packages.
The standard, ongoing package.
We remove your personal information, reduce your visibility in search results, and continuously monitor, taking information down again whenever it reappears. We also watch for breached credentials, activity on the deep and dark web, and any sign of doxing or impersonation, alerting you as concerns arise.
We identify, remove and continuously monitor the personal information that could be used to locate, target, impersonate or exploit you and your family.
The enhanced package.
The Advisory includes everything above. The Digital Exposure Assessment and Digital Exposure Protection are both built into it, not bought separately. On that foundation, it adds the wider threat picture around you, your family and your reputation: monitoring of references to you and your key associates, a watch on your personal and professional reputation, protective intelligence and escalation assessment, behavioural threat assessment, direct access when something does not feel right, support through incidents, disputes or campaigns, and regular intelligence-led reviews.
Continuous intelligence, assessment and advice, designed to identify concerns early, provide context, and support informed decisions before issues escalate.
For clients who retain us, the assessment fee is credited toward either package.
