Digital Threat Protection and Cyber OPSEC Analyst
Praetorian is hiring analysts for data broker removal, social media threat monitoring, doxxing prevention, and digital footprint management for HNW principals.
Praetorian Executive Protection LLC is hiring digital threat protection and cyber OPSEC analysts for data broker removal, social media threat monitoring, doxxing prevention, and digital footprint management. Digital exposure is now one of the primary vectors for physical threats against HNW individuals and executives. These roles do not require a Florida security license and are open to analysts with OSINT, cybersecurity, or digital investigations backgrounds.
Every physical threat starts with information. An adversary who can find the principal's home address, daily routine, family members' names, and travel schedule online has already completed the reconnaissance phase.
Digital threat protection closes that gap. The work involves removing personal data from broker databases, monitoring social media for threats and exposure, preventing doxxing, and managing the principal's digital footprint so that publicly available information does not become a targeting package.
This is one of the fastest-growing disciplines in executive protection and Praetorian is building this capability now.
Data Broker Removal
Systematic identification and removal of the principal's personal information from data broker sites, people-search engines, and public records aggregators.
Social Media Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of social media platforms for direct threats, indirect indicators, location exposure, and mentions that could compromise the principal's security.
Doxxing Prevention
Proactive identification and removal of exposed personal data before it can be aggregated into a doxxing package. Dark web monitoring for leaked credentials and personal information.
Digital Footprint Management
Ongoing management of the principal's online presence to minimize the information available to potential adversaries while maintaining necessary public profiles.
What Digital Threat Protection Looks Like
A typical engagement starts with a comprehensive digital exposure audit: searching data broker sites, people-search engines, social media platforms, public records, and dark web sources for the principal's personal information. The analyst then works through a systematic removal process, submitting opt-out requests, contacting data brokers, and monitoring for re-listing.
Ongoing monitoring covers social media threats, new data exposure, and changes in the principal's digital risk profile. The work is analytical, detail-oriented, and directly connected to the physical protection mission.
Who We Hire for Digital Threat Roles
OSINT (open source intelligence) professionals, cybersecurity analysts with threat intelligence experience, digital investigators, and professionals with data privacy or information security backgrounds. Military intelligence analysts with OSINT or SIGINT experience are a strong fit.
Law enforcement officers with digital forensics or cyber crime investigation backgrounds also qualify. The work does not require a Florida security license, which makes this an accessible pathway for analysts without traditional EP backgrounds.
Why Digital Protection Is Physical Protection
The UnitedHealthcare CEO incident in December 2024 demonstrated what the industry already knew: digital exposure creates physical vulnerability. Executives whose home addresses, daily routines, and family information are available online face a threat that no amount of physical security can fully mitigate without addressing the digital vector.
Praetorian treats digital threat protection as a core component of the protection program, not an add-on. Analysts in this role work directly with the physical protection team to create a unified security posture.
