Step 01 of 03
Confidential Assessment

We begin where
an adversary would.

The assessment starts with open-source intelligence — the same methods, tools, and databases a motivated threat actor would use to research you. We do not ask you to describe your exposure first. We find it.

Within two weeks you receive a written findings document covering all six domains: breach exposure, property linkage, data broker profiles, family network visibility, credential databases, and a prioritized remediation roadmap.

This document is yours regardless of what you decide next. Most clients who see the findings proceed — not because of pressure, but because the picture is difficult to ignore once you know what is there.

What you receive

Written assessment report across all six domains including breach database results, public record exposure, property linkage analysis, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. Delivered within two weeks of engagement.

Step 02 of 03
Remediation & Hardening

You receive
confirmation.
Not a checklist.

Findings are addressed in priority order. Critical exposures — active credentials in breach databases, home addresses on high-traffic data brokers, account vulnerabilities — are tackled first.

Your advisor coordinates specialist partners across each domain. You do not manage the coordination. You receive confirmation that findings have been resolved and verified.

What you receive

Coordinated execution across all critical and high-priority findings. One advisor manages specialist partners and tracks completion. Verified resolution report at the close of each remediation phase.

Ongoing Advisory

Risk is not static.
Neither is your advisor.

A new property. A liquidity event. A data breach at a company you have an account with. A family member's changed visibility. Each can shift your exposure profile overnight.

Ongoing advisory keeps a dedicated advisor watching your full picture continuously. When something changes — in the threat landscape or in your life — your advisor identifies the implication and responds before you have to ask.

The relationship accumulates context. Your advisor knows your situation, your family, your properties, and your preferences. That continuity is what makes protection effective over time.

What you receive

Continuous oversight across all six domains. Standing availability for emerging situations. Proactive breach monitoring. Full annual reassessment with updated findings and roadmap.
