● Executive Digital Exposure Assessment

What can a hostile actor learn about you in an hour?

Before a business dispute, hostile negotiation, media investigation, or targeted attack — someone may already be researching you and your family from open and compromised sources. This assessment tells you exactly what they can find, and helps you reduce it.

The Risk

The information about you is already out there. The question is who has it.

Executives, founders, and high-profile individuals are high-value targets. Not because of what you know — but because of what access to you, or leverage over you, is worth to someone else.

🎯

Hostile Actors & Criminals

From targeted social engineering to physical threats — knowing your home address, daily patterns, family members, and security gaps makes you a tractable target.

⚖️

Adversaries in Disputes

Litigation, divorce proceedings, hostile acquisitions, and business disputes all involve parties who may commission OSINT research on you before a single court filing.

📰

Journalists & Investigators

Public exposure, short-seller campaigns, regulatory scrutiny — investigative journalists and financial analysts use the same tools we do. Know your profile before they do.

🕵️

Competitor Intelligence

Competitors, investment banks in opposing mandates, and private intelligence firms conduct background research on key executives as standard practice.

Who This Is For

For individuals where exposure has real consequences

This is not a background check. It's an intelligence assessment — conducted on your behalf, from the perspective of someone who wants to find leverage against you.

Founders & C-Suite Executives

Pre-IPO, pre-exit, entering a major transaction, or managing a sensitive business situation that's attracting attention.

Family Offices & UHNW Individuals

Wealth creates exposure. Family members, properties, travel patterns, and corporate structures can all be discovered and exploited by the wrong people.

Executives in Geopolitical Environments

Travelling to or operating in regions with elevated political, intelligence, or criminal risk — where your digital profile can make you a target.

Executive Protection Firms

Pre-travel and pre-event OSINT assessment to inform physical security planning and identify social engineering risk vectors.

Common triggers: receiving threats or suspicious approaches · entering a significant dispute or litigation · planning high-risk travel · pre-IPO or major public exposure event · concerns about family member safety · a competitor or activist campaign beginning to focus on you personally.
What We Investigate

Everything a hostile researcher would look for. Nothing more.

This assessment is conducted entirely from external, open sources — the same sources accessible to anyone with time and methodology. We do not require access to your accounts, devices, or networks.

What You Receive

A personal exposure report — and a plan to reduce it

The report is written for a non-technical reader. It tells you what is findable, from where, who is most likely to use it against you, and what you can do about each finding.

How It Works

Discreet. Structured. Confidential from day one.

⏱ Duration: 1–2 weeks
📋 Engagement type: Fixed-fee
🔒 Access required: None
1

Confidential intake

You provide your name, known digital identifiers (email addresses, usernames), and any specific concerns. An NDA is signed before any information is exchanged.

2

Open source investigation

Systematic search across data brokers, public records, social platforms, news archives, and corporate databases — structured as an adversarial research exercise.

3

Dark web and breach research

Cross-referencing your identifiers against breach databases, dark web marketplaces, and threat actor forums for active exposure or targeting.

4

Risk assessment

Each finding is assessed not just for what it reveals, but for what threat actor would find it useful and how it could be weaponized — to ensure remediation priorities reflect real risk.

5

Confidential delivery and review

The report is delivered securely. A private review call follows to walk through findings, answer questions, and agree on immediate priorities.

Anonymized Example

What we typically find

Details have been modified to protect client confidentiality.

Senior Partner · Private Equity · Significant pending transaction

A senior partner at a PE firm was about to close a major secondary transaction involving a counterparty known for aggressive tactics. Before signing, he commissioned a personal exposure assessment to understand what the opposing side could find about him.

The assessment found his home address and names of two family members listed on four data broker sites, accessible to anyone willing to pay a nominal fee. His personal email address appeared in two breach databases with what appeared to be cracked passwords still matching his current format. An impersonation account on one professional platform had been active for seven months, sending connection requests to his known contacts. A decade-old press interview contained a detail about his daily routine that could inform physical surveillance.

All four data broker listings were removed before the transaction closed. The impersonation account was reported and taken down. Email credentials were rotated.
FAQ

Common questions

Do you need access to my email, social accounts, or devices?
No. This assessment is entirely external — we use only publicly available sources and breach data. We do not require, request, or want access to any of your accounts or devices.
How is confidentiality maintained?
A mutual NDA is signed before any information is shared. All research is conducted by Karen Shahbazian personally or under direct supervision. We do not subcontract to third parties. The report and all associated data are deleted after delivery unless you request otherwise.
Can you actually remove my data from these sources?
For many data broker sites, yes — the report includes specific step-by-step removal instructions for each source. Removal timelines vary (days to weeks). Some sources in certain jurisdictions are harder to address; we explain which and provide alternatives where possible.
What if you find something alarming during the assessment?
You will hear from us immediately — not at report delivery. If we identify active targeting, credentials being actively used, or an imminent risk, we contact you the same day with the critical finding so you can act before the full assessment is complete.
Can the assessment cover family members?
Yes. Family member exposure is included within the agreed scope as standard for most engagements. If you want a more extensive assessment of family members specifically, we can scope that separately.
How often should this be repeated?
At minimum annually, given how frequently new data appears across broker sites and breach databases. Also recommended before significant life events: IPO, major litigation, high-risk travel, public role assumption, or major press exposure.

Know your profile before someone uses it against you

Initial conversations are confidential and come with no obligation. We can usually scope an engagement within 24 hours of a first call.
