Obscurity makes you
hard to find.

Obscurity is our digital executive protection program. We identify what an adversary can find about you, remove it at the source wherever possible, and suppress what cannot be removed. We continue finding and reducing your exposure throughout the year.

The category

Digital executive protection

Reducing what can be found about a person, their household, and the organizations around them. The term a board, a general counsel or a security team will already recognize.

The program

Obscurity DEP

One comprehensive audit, a year of reduction against what it finds, and a named analyst who holds your file.

The measure

What stays findable

The audit sets your score on the Threat Surface Index on day one. The work moves it, and the annual refresh states the difference, variable by variable.

Find it. Remove it. Keep it gone.

How it runs
Movement one

Exposure Discovery

What an adversary can find, and how they could use it.

The audit maps your footprint across accounts, emails, addresses and phone numbers; scans dark and deep web breach and leak sources; and reads public records, social platforms and the commercial surveillance economy against you.

It closes with an executive review session: what was found, what it enables, and what moves first.

Movement two

Exposure Reduction

Removal at the source. Suppression where needed. Ongoing verification.

Removals run against CODEX, the firm's index of the entities that actually hold consumer data, an order of magnitude beyond any public broker list. Location-data deletion measures run alongside.

Scanning continues through the year, because a record that drops from one surface returns on another, and the reduction returns to meet it.

What the year includes.

The program family
Circle of Trust Per member

Your exposure includes the people around you.

Extended coverage for a spouse, children, parents, or the trusted circle an adversary would route through: assistants, household staff, close associates. Each member is audited and reduced under the same program, because a profile assembled on them is a profile assembled on you.

Tactical Privacy Training Session or series

The habits that stop your threat surface from growing back.

Virtual or in person, for individuals, families, executive teams, or the enterprise. Devices, disclosures, travel, and the daily choices that feed the brokers. It moves the Posture variable of the Index, the part of your score only you can hold down.
