What the Audit Covers

Every Audit Examines Two Threat Surfaces

Attackers target both your business identity and the people behind it. We examine both — because a breach of either can be used against your clients.

🏢

Business Audit

Your company domain and business identity, examined across public and breach sources

🔓

Domain Breach Exposure

Email addresses and credentials associated with your company domain that have appeared in known data breaches — across dozens of breach databases.

HaveIBeenPwned Breach Dumps Paste Sites
🌐

Public Domain Exposure

Business registration records, WHOIS data, reverse lookups, and public corporate information aggregated across data broker and business intelligence sites.

WHOIS Business Registries Corp Records
📋

Public Exposure Findings

References to your domain across paste sites, public forums, breach indexes, and data aggregation sources where company information is shared or sold.

Pastebin Public Indexes Leak Forums
👤

Employee Audit

🏠

Public Records Exposure

Home addresses, historical addresses, property ownership, and voter registration records from county databases and public records aggregators.

Why It Matters

Exposed Data Is the Starting Point for Every Targeted Attack

🎯

Spear Phishing & Business Email Compromise

Attackers armed with personal details craft emails that look legitimate to clients, triggering wire fraud or credential theft. BEC losses exceeded $2.9 billion in 2023.

🎭

Impersonation & Client Fraud

Criminals use employee photos, personal emails, and bios to pose as your agents — contacting clients to redirect funds or steal account information.

📞

Voice Phishing & Pretexting

With a phone number and personal background, an attacker can convince your staff or clients they're speaking to a known, trusted party.

⚖️

Regulatory & Liability Exposure

Regulated firms face scrutiny when client data is compromised via preventable social engineering. Proactive documentation demonstrates due diligence.

How a Targeted Attack Unfolds

1

Reconnaissance

Attacker finds home address, personal email, and family details through public sources in under 30 minutes.

2

Pretext Construction

A convincing email is crafted using the agent's real name, title, and phone — sent from a spoofed or lookalike domain.

3

Client Contact

The attacker emails or calls clients posing as the agent, requesting an urgent wire transfer or document.

4

Compromise

Funds are transferred or credentials stolen before anyone realizes the communication was fraudulent.

5

Aftermath

Reputational damage, regulatory filings, and legal liability — all stemming from publicly available personal data.

Who We Serve

Built for High-Trust Professional Firms

Mortgage Brokers

Loan officers who handle sensitive financial data are high-value targets for social engineering.

🛡️

Insurance Agencies

Client-facing agents whose professional relationships make them credible impersonation targets.

📈

Financial Advisors

Advisors managing high-net-worth client portfolios attract sophisticated, research-driven attacks.

⚖️

Common Questions

What Firms Ask Before They Start

Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most from business owners considering an audit.

Is this legal?

Yes. All research is conducted using publicly available, open-source information — the same data anyone can access freely online. We do not hack, use unauthorized access, or violate any platform's terms of service. Every finding in your report can be independently verified through the sources we document.

Who sees my employees' names and email addresses?

Only our audit team, under strict confidentiality. We never sell, share, or use employee data for any purpose other than conducting your audit. All submitted employee data is deleted from our systems within 30 days of report delivery. This is documented in our Privacy Policy.

Do my employees need to know about the audit?

Not during the audit itself — we're researching publicly available information, not accessing private systems or accounts. After receiving the report, many firms brief their employees, share the relevant findings, and walk through the remediation steps together. We can advise on how to handle that conversation effectively.

What happens after we receive the report?

The report includes a prioritized findings summary so you know exactly what was found and how severe each exposure is. We then review the findings with you and recommend a protection plan appropriate to your firm's actual exposure profile — which may include business exposure protection, employee exposure protection, executive protection, or a combination.

The plan is based on what we find, not a preset package you select in advance. Some firms need immediate exposure cleanup; others benefit more from ongoing monitoring and management. We make that recommendation after seeing your results.

How is this different from a cybersecurity audit or penetration test?

A penetration test looks for vulnerabilities in your systems and technical infrastructure. We focus specifically on the open-source intelligence (OSINT) layer — the personal data about your employees that exists on the public web. This is the reconnaissance phase that precedes nearly every targeted social engineering attack. Most cybersecurity audits do not examine it at all. Our work addresses a different and often overlooked threat surface.

Can we research this ourselves instead of hiring you?

You can search some of this information manually — but a thorough audit covers dozens of data broker sites, multiple breach databases, people-search aggregators, public records sources, and social platforms for each employee. Systematically checking all of them, knowing what to look for in each, and then repeating the process regularly for an entire team is a significant time commitment that most firms don't have the bandwidth to maintain. We do this consistently and know what to look for because it's the only thing we do.

Is there any obligation after the audit?

None. The report and findings are yours to keep regardless of what you decide to do next. If you'd like us to manage the exposure on your behalf, we'll recommend a plan based on the results. If you'd prefer to handle it internally, the report gives you everything you need to do so. There is no pressure and no commitment beyond the audit itself.

How does the free audit work?

Submit the short form on our Contact page with your company name, domain, email address, and up to 3 employees (first name, last name, city and state). We run a full audit — business domain review and employee exposure audit — and deliver a complete findings package to your email within 24 hours. No credit card, no sales call, no commitment.
