Protect High-Visibility Executives from Digital and Physical Threats
Protect your team members and their families from human-driven threats, and reduce your business risk.
What is Executive Shield?
Executive Shield is a human risk management solution designed to protect your high visibility personnel from fraud, doxing, cyber attacks, reputational damage and physical threats. Through risk assessments, investigations, and monitoring, we uncover vulnerabilities, reduce digital exposure, and prevent harm by tracking social media, the dark web, and clandestine forums.

How Executive Shield Works
We provide end-to-end protection for executives with services that reduce risk, prevent exposure, and mitigate threats. Our assessments provide visibility into your digital footprint and awareness of exploitable risks of your key team members. We monitor for PII and other sensitive data that’s been exposed. We provide alerts and investigations for any threats to your employee and their family, and help reduce their PII exposure and digital footprint to minimize the risk of further threats.
