Identify Executive Vulnerabilities Before They Become Threats
due to publicly available information, digital exposure, and real-world threats.
Key Digital Risk Considerations
Online Activities that Increase Executive Risk
An executive’s digital footprint exposes them to personal and business risks, making them a prime target for threat actors.
- Pattern of Life Exposure: Details shared on social media and digital platforms can be used by threat actors for stalking, surveillance, and harassment.
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Publicly available data—such as utility records, property records, and campaign donations—can be exploited by attackers.
- Doxxing: The intentional exposure of sensitive personal information online, often used for blackmail, threats, or intimidation.
- Credential Theft: C-suite credentials are high-value targets for hackers, often compromised due to password reuse, poor cybersecurity habits, and risky online engagement.

Proactive Protection Starts with Understanding Risk
Executive Risk Assessment Explained
Executives and high-profile personnel face growing risks—both online and in-person. Social engineering, public visibility, and cyber threats continue to evolve, making it crucial to assess vulnerabilities for effective protection.
Many physical threats originate online, highlighting the need for Executive and Employee Protection (EEP) programs that cover both digital and physical risks.
A comprehensive risk assessment helps security teams:
– Understand an executive’s risk profile
– Identify and mitigate existing threats
– Protect individuals, their families, and the organization
By proactively assessing risks, organizations can stay ahead of threats and strengthen security.
