Protect every digital identity your business depends on

Continuous monitoring, takedown, and identity hardening across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, app stores, look-alike domains, and the dark web — for executives, employees, and the brand. Generative-AI deepfakes, CEO impersonation, doxxing, and credential leaks detected, escalated, and resolved before they reach the boardroom.

Beyond monitoring — actual takedowns

Detection without resolution is just an expensive alert feed. Every confirmed impersonation, fraudulent domain, or sensitive content exposure is escalated through documented platform-relations and legal-takedown channels — measured against time-to-removal SLAs, not promised on a slide.

Built for the deepfake era

Generative AI lowered the cost of convincing executive impersonation to near-zero. Our detection layer combines behavioral analytics, image / voice forensics, and network-graph analysis to surface synthetic content before it reaches a wire-transfer request or a market-moving headline.

Senior analysts, fixed fee

Every engagement is led by senior threat analysts with documented investigative experience — not an automated feed and a chatbot. Fixed-fee delivery, ~20% below mid-market digital risk protection medians for equivalent enterprise scope.

Detection, takedown, and identity hardening — across every channel

Modern impersonation crosses surface web, deep web, dark web, paid advertising, app stores, and end-user messaging platforms within hours of an executive going viral. We monitor 100+ sources continuously and execute takedowns through documented escalation paths — measured against time-to-removal SLAs, not "best effort" promises.

Continuous identity monitoring

24/7 surveillance of executive and brand profiles across 100+ sources: LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Telegram, Discord, Reddit, paste sites, code repositories, app stores, paid-ad networks, look-alike domains, breach databases, and curated dark-web markets. Behavioral baselining catches new account creation in under 30 minutes on most platforms.

Impersonation & deepfake response

Cloned profiles, fraudulent CEO/CFO accounts, deepfake video and voice, fake support channels, and synthetic identities surfaced by image-forensics models, voice-print mismatch, and network-graph anomaly analysis. Every confirmed impersonation triggers a documented takedown workflow with time-stamped evidence preservation for legal action.

Takedown & content remediation

Direct platform-relations channels with LinkedIn, Meta, X, TikTok, YouTube, app stores, and registrars. DMCA, UDRP, and platform-specific impersonation reports filed with full evidence packages. PII removal at data-broker aggregators (Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, etc.) for executives requiring personal-exposure reduction.

Account hardening & identity hygiene

Defensive configuration audits across executive personal and corporate accounts: phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2 / passkeys), session-management hygiene, app-permission cleanup, recovery-vector hardening, profile-privacy enforcement, and family-circle protection where exposure increases targeting risk.

How does it work?

Engagement starts with a 1–2 week digital exposure assessment: full identity inventory (every owned, shadow, and unauthorized account associated with each protected entity), look-alike domain enumeration, breach-data exposure check across major credential-leak sources, dark-web mention scan, and a baseline impersonation sweep across the major platforms. The output is a current-exposure report with prioritized remediation actions — many of which we execute as part of onboarding.

From there, the service runs continuously: 24/7 monitoring with named senior analysts, weekly executive-summary reporting, monthly stakeholder review with the CISO or general counsel, and an SLA-bound incident response workflow when a critical impersonation, deepfake, or doxxing event lands. Quarterly we re-baseline the threat surface — new platforms, new account variants, new family-member exposure — and update the protection model accordingly.

Always-on protection — discover, detect, respond, defend

Online profile security isn't an annual project. It's a continuous loop: discovering new exposure, detecting active threats, responding with takedowns, and defending against the next attack vector. Every phase of the cycle feeds the next — and every cycle tightens the protection.

What we actually deliver — every engagement

Every visual below is drawn from real client deliverables. No demo data, no boilerplate templates, no copy-paste content.

Identity inventory · owned / shadow / imposter / unused

Comprehensive Identity Inventory

Every account, profile, page, domain, and digital identity associated with each protected entity — mapped, classified, and tracked. Owned accounts you control are hardened. Shadow accounts you forgot about are claimed or retired. Imposter accounts pretending to be you are queued for takedown. Unused handles you should defensively register before a squatter does. The inventory is the single source of truth for every downstream decision — and the document we use to prove protection coverage in board reviews and cyber-insurance renewals.

Documented escalation · DMCA · UDRP · platform-relations

Takedown Operations & Evidence Chain

Every confirmed threat enters a tracked ticket: timestamped evidence preservation (screenshots, full-page archives, whois snapshots, content hashes), escalation path selection (platform impersonation reports, DMCA, UDRP, registrar abuse, app-store policy), legal-team copy where applicable, and an SLA-bound resolution window. The queue is reviewed weekly with your CISO or general counsel — so every executive can see exactly what's protecting them, what's been resolved, and what's still in flight. No black-box vendor reporting; full transparency on every escalation.

Deepfake & Synthetic Content Forensics

Detection engines tuned for the threats that actually matter in 2026: deepfake video (CEO/CFO impersonation for press, social, and conferencing), voice clones (CFO authorizing wire transfers), AI-generated profile photos for impersonation accounts, and synthetic press releases timed to move markets. Each detection ships with a confidence score, the specific forensic signals that triggered it, and a recommended response — escalate to legal, file takedown, alert the CISO, or clear and document. Confidence thresholds are tuned per-client to balance false-positive cost against missed-detection cost.

Incident response · timestamped · audit-defensible

Incident Timeline & Audit Trail

Every incident — from initial detection through final resolution — is captured in a timestamped audit trail with named actors, evidence references, and decision rationale. The timeline is the document your insurance carrier wants for breach claims, your general counsel needs for legal action against the impersonator, and your audit committee reviews quarterly. Sub-4-hour mean time to resolution on critical impersonations is the standard, not the exception. When an incident exceeds SLA, the post-mortem documents why and what changed in the protection model afterward.

Three scenarios where digital identity protection pays for itself

Some organizations get away with reactive monitoring — until they don't. These are the three signals that move online profile security from "nice to have" to "this fiscal year, no exceptions."

An impersonation already cost you

A cloned executive profile messaged your customers. A fake support channel collected credentials. A deepfake voice authorized a wire transfer. Even a near-miss reveals the gap — and the next attempt will be more polished. Reactive cleanup costs more than continuous monitoring, every time.

Executive visibility is rising

A new CEO joined. The CFO is on a public earnings circuit. A founder is suddenly a media figure. Litigation, M&A, IPO, or public controversy multiplied targeting risk overnight. Personal exposure becomes corporate exposure when threat actors target the person to reach the institution.

Insurance & board are asking

Cyber insurance carriers now require documented digital risk protection coverage. Audit committees ask about deepfake readiness in quarterly reviews. Board directors want to know — specifically — what stops their LinkedIn from being cloned. The reporting alone justifies the engagement; the protection is the dividend.

Scope-driven, fixed-fee engagements

Every online profile security engagement is quoted as a firm fixed monthly retainer after a 60-minute scoping call — there is no public price tier because the cost is driven entirely by your environment: number of protected executives, family-circle inclusion, brand and domain monitoring scope, regulatory burden, and incident-response SLA tier. We benchmark our quotes quarterly against published 2026 rates from ZeroFox, Recorded Future, BrandShield, Bolster, PhishLabs, Netcraft, and Fortra, and price our engagements approximately 20% below the mid-market median for equivalent scope and SLA. Ask for our scope-comparison worksheet — we'll send it with your quote so you can validate the benchmark for yourself.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get most from CISOs, general counsel, and executive operations teams. Talk to a senior analyst for anything else.

How is this different from a reputation-management agency?
Reputation management is primarily about suppressing negative content (SEO push-down, positive-content creation, review management). Online profile security is a security discipline — detecting and removing actual threats: impersonation, deepfakes, doxxing, credential leaks, look-alike domains, and account takeover attempts. The two services often complement each other, but the operating model is different: we measure success in time-to-takedown and incidents-resolved, not in search-ranking improvements.
How fast can a confirmed impersonation actually be removed?
Platform-dependent. LinkedIn impersonation reports with full evidence packs typically resolve in 2–8 hours via the verified-trust-and-safety channel. X / Meta / TikTok depending on the verified status of the protected entity, usually 4–24 hours. Look-alike domain seizures via UDRP run 30–60 days for adversarial cases (much faster if the domain is hosting active phishing — registrar abuse channels often resolve within hours). Telegram and Discord scam channels typically 12–48 hours. Dark-web mentions are not "removed" — they are documented, attributed, and used to escalate to law enforcement or the affected platform's TIP partners.
Do you protect family members and personal accounts?
Yes — and we recommend it for any executive whose targeting risk is meaningful. Spouses, children, executive assistants, and key advisors are common pivot points for social engineering, doxxing, and physical-security escalation. Family-circle protection includes their public-account monitoring, PII removal at data-broker aggregators, social-media privacy hardening (with their consent), and household DNS/email-security recommendations. We never act on a family member's accounts without their explicit, documented consent — protection requires participation.
What about deepfake video calls / voice clones?
Three layers. Detection: our forensic models analyze video and voice samples for known synthesis artifacts (lip-sync mismatch, frame interpolation, GAN/diffusion signatures, voice-print divergence). Prevention: account hardening (FIDO2 / passkeys block voice-clone-based account-recovery attacks), and an executive-comms protocol (out-of-band verification for any wire transfer, M&A, or public statement, plus a shared verbal codeword that no AI model can synthesize because it was never recorded). Response: incident workflow that includes legal escalation, platform takedown, evidence preservation, and stakeholder notification within hours, not days.
Will my information be sent to third-party platforms?
Only what's required for takedown. Filing an impersonation report against a cloned LinkedIn profile requires submitting the official-account URL and the impersonator URL — by definition both are already public. We do not share executive PII, internal documents, organizational data, or family-member information with third-party platforms. Forensic analysis runs in our environment; only the conclusion and the public-evidence pack are shared with the platform receiving the takedown. All client data lives in a dedicated tenant with named-analyst access only.
How does this fit with our existing managed security service?
It complements. A SOC monitors your network and endpoints; we monitor your external digital surface — the social profiles, domains, marketplaces, and dark-web mentions that sit outside your perimeter. We integrate with your existing SOC by feeding confirmed external incidents into your SIEM or ticketing system, attending your monthly threat-review with your MSSP, and coordinating on incidents that cross the perimeter (e.g., a credential leak surfaced externally that affects an internal account). Most clients run this alongside an MSSP, not instead of one.
Can you remove information from data-broker sites?
Yes — for executives requiring personal-exposure reduction, we file removal requests against the major US data-broker aggregators (Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, MyLife, Radaris, Intelius, FastPeopleSearch, TruePeopleSearch, and 40+ others) and the EU equivalents. Most accept removal under CCPA / GDPR / state-specific privacy laws within 14–45 days. We also monitor for re-listing — these sites continuously re-scrape public records, so removal is a recurring activity, not a one-time event. For executives in active threat scenarios, this is part of the standard monthly retainer.
What does an engagement cost?
Engagements are quoted as fixed monthly retainers after a 60-minute scoping call. Pricing is driven by the number of protected executives (with or without family circle), brand and domain coverage scope, regulatory burden, and incident-response SLA tier. We benchmark quarterly against published 2026 rates from ZeroFox, Recorded Future, BrandShield, Bolster, PhishLabs, Netcraft, and Fortra, and price approximately 20% below the mid-market median for equivalent scope and SLA. The proposal includes a side-by-side scope comparison so you can validate the benchmark.
