Digital Threat Protection and Cyber OPSEC
Your digital footprint is your first vulnerability. Before someone can target you physically, they research you digitally. We close that gap.
Physical security starts with digital exposure. Home addresses on data broker sites, geotagged photos on social media, family information in public records, and corporate bios that detail travel schedules all create targeting opportunities. Praetorian's digital threat protection service identifies where you are exposed online, removes personal data from commercial aggregators, monitors social media for threats, and reduces the digital footprint that makes physical targeting possible.
Data Broker Removal and Personal Information Scrubbing
Dozens of commercial data brokers collect and sell your personal information: home address, phone numbers, email addresses, family members, property records, estimated net worth, and more. This data is freely available to anyone with a search engine. Praetorian conducts a comprehensive audit of your digital exposure across major data broker platforms and executes systematic removal requests. Because data brokers continuously re-aggregate information, this is not a one-time fix. We provide ongoing monitoring and re-removal to keep your personal data suppressed.
Social Media Threat Monitoring
Threats against executives and public figures increasingly surface on social media before escalating to physical action. Praetorian monitors social media channels for direct threats, mentions in extremist forums, doxxing attempts, and coordinated harassment campaigns targeting the principal or their family. When a credible threat is identified, we escalate to the protection team and, when appropriate, coordinate with law enforcement. Monitoring covers major platforms as well as forums, paste sites, and dark web sources where targeting information is shared.
Digital Footprint Management
Beyond data brokers, your digital footprint includes corporate bios, conference speaker profiles, board memberships, property records, court filings, political donations, and media appearances. Each of these creates a data point that can be assembled into a targeting profile. Praetorian audits your complete digital presence and provides specific recommendations for reducing exposure without eliminating your professional visibility. For family members, we assess social media accounts, school affiliations, and activity patterns that may inadvertently reveal the principal's location or routine.
Doxxing Prevention and Incident Response
Doxxing (the public release of someone's private information) has become a common tactic against executives, public figures, and their families. A single doxxing incident can expose a home address, children's schools, vehicle information, and daily patterns. Praetorian's prevention protocol reduces the available data that makes doxxing effective. If a doxxing incident occurs, our response protocol includes rapid content takedown requests, security posture escalation at the residence, coordination with law enforcement, and a reassessment of the principal's overall digital exposure to prevent follow-on targeting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is digital threat protection?
Digital threat protection is the identification, monitoring, and removal of personal information that creates physical security risks. It includes data broker removal, social media threat monitoring, digital footprint reduction, doxxing prevention, and ongoing surveillance of online threats directed at the principal or their family.
What is a data broker removal service?
Data broker removal is the systematic process of identifying and requesting deletion of personal information from commercial data aggregators. These brokers collect and sell home addresses, phone numbers, family members, property records, and other personal data. For executives and high-net-worth individuals, this information creates targeting opportunities. Praetorian identifies where your data is exposed and executes removal requests across dozens of data broker platforms.
Why do executives need social media threat monitoring?
Social media platforms are where threats materialize before they become physical incidents. Direct threats, doxxing attempts, location tracking through geotagged posts, and coordinated harassment campaigns all begin online. Monitoring these channels provides early warning that allows the protection team to escalate security posture before a threat reaches the physical environment.
