Understand Your Digital Exposure
Cyber risk can involve more than technical weaknesses. Publicly available personal information and information appearing in known breach or exposure sources may increase the risk of phishing, impersonation, social engineering, or account attacks. Our Cyber Risk Check services address two distinct aspects of digital exposure.
Digital Exposure Check
What Information May Be Publicly Discoverable?
A digital footprint can include public profiles, usernames, websites, online accounts, contact details, and other information available online. Digital Exposure Check reviews relevant publicly discoverable information associated with a defined person, identity, or digital presence.
- Public profiles and relevant usernames
- Online accounts and websites
- Publicly available contact or profile information
- Other relevant digital-footprint indicators
Public information can sometimes be combined to support phishing, impersonation, social engineering, or targeted scams. Understanding what is discoverable can help you make more informed decisions about online privacy and security.
Cyber Hygiene Check
Check for Potential Information Exposure
Personal information may appear in known data breaches or exposed sources without the affected person knowing. Cyber Hygiene Check assesses whether defined information may appear in known breach or exposure sources, helping clients understand potential exposure and consider account-security measures.
- Email addresses and usernames
- Phone numbers or relevant identifiers
- Known breach indicators and reported exposure information
Potential exposure can increase the risk of phishing, credential attacks, account takeover, social engineering, and targeted scams. Depending on the findings, practical steps may include changing affected passwords, avoiding password reuse, enabling multi-factor authentication, reviewing account activity, updating recovery details, and treating unexpected messages cautiously.
Digital Exposure Check vs. Cyber Hygiene Check
The two checks address different aspects of digital risk and are not interchangeable.
