• Context

  Principals, board members, senior partners, and high-profile individuals are increasingly used as points of entry for financial crime, coercion, reputational attack, and physical targeting.

  Exposure accumulates across public and commercial data sources and through the online activity of close associates. Aggregated, it enables profiling, leverage, and targeted action.

  The consequences extend beyond the individual to family and business interests. Most do not have a clear understanding of what information is available about them or how it can be used by adversaries.

• When to contact us

  Transactions or Capital Events

  • IPO, exit, acquisition, restructuring, significant capital raise, or entry into a new jurisdiction.

  • Events that increase scrutiny of principals and key decision-makers, including examination of historic associations, public record, digital footprint, and potential reputational linkage.

  Disputes or Hostile Interest

  • Litigation, arbitration, regulatory investigation, activist investor activity, short-seller research, or hostile media scrutiny.

  • Situations where personal exposure may be used to apply pressure, shape narrative, or influence outcome.

  Rising or Existing Public Profile

  • Board appointment, senior promotion, major transaction, political alignment, significant media coverage, or sustained public prominence.

  • Includes individuals whose profile, earnings, or influence place them in the public domain. Visibility may be longstanding or rapidly increasing.

  After Fraud, Harassment, or Suspicious Activity

  • Fraud attempts, impersonation, harassment, exposure of personal information, unusual contact, or compromised accounts.

  • Circumstances requiring immediate understanding of what information is available and whether it is contributing to risk.

  Changes in Personal or Family Circumstances

  • Relationship change, relocation, education milestones, or expanded online activity by family members or close associates.

  • Situations where exposure may shift without corresponding awareness or controls.

• Our approach

  Engagements are tailored and confidential. No two are the same. Measures are adapted to personal circumstances to ensure they are effective without becoming intrusive.

  We assess what information exists about the individual and, where relevant, close family and key contacts across public and commercial sources, exposed credentials, and illicit data environments. We identify indicators of impersonation, targeting, or misuse.

  We implement proportionate mitigation, including takedowns, removal requests, correction of records, and practical adjustments to digital posture. Where required, we engage directly with platforms and intermediaries.

  Advice is direct and discreet. We remain available as circumstances evolve.
