Executive Intelligence Program
Executive exposure intelligence without surrendering sensitive identifiers to a generic intake portal.
A high-touch program combining an onsite Executive Concierge Baseline, human-led monitoring of authorized identifiers, priority notification, and direct reporting to the client’s designated security team.
Why the baseline matters
Meaningful monitoring begins with understanding the executive’s real digital identity.
A corporate email address alone rarely captures the relevant exposure. With the executive’s knowledge and authorization, the baseline can map personal and historical email addresses, usernames, aliases, domains, past affiliations, public roles, and specific concerns that may create discoverable risk.
DarkWater does not access personal accounts. The program monitors approved identifiers associated with those accounts across selected, lawfully accessed sources.
Executive Concierge Baseline
- Private, onsite executive interview
- Client security sponsor alignment
- Authorized identity and threat-profile mapping
- Initial exposure assessment and risk priorities
- Monitoring scope, recipients, and escalation matrix
- Individual executive brief and CISO-level summary
Program components
Baseline first. Ongoing intelligence second.
The initial engagement creates a defensible starting point. Monitoring then focuses on meaningful change rather than repeating broad searches without context.
Sponsor Session
Define program goals, executive count, authorization, recipients, handling rules, and onsite logistics.
Onsite Interviews
Meet privately with participating executives. DarkWater does not conduct executive onboarding by video conference.
Exposure Baseline
Assess existing public, credential, breach, impersonation, document, and threat-source exposure within scope.
Human Monitoring
Review authorized identifiers across selected sources and triage findings for relevance and confidence.
Escalation & Briefing
Notify defined contacts of priority findings and provide recurring reports and leadership briefings.
Potential source categories
Coverage is broad enough to be useful and defined enough to be honest.
Exact sources depend on lawful access, licensing, client scope, and operational availability. DarkWater does not promise visibility into every criminal forum, private channel, breach corpus, or ransomware publication.
- Credential-exposure and information-stealer intelligence
- Public breach references and selected paste or repository sources
- Public ransomware and extortion publications
- Selected public Telegram channels and threat-actor communications
- Impersonation, domain, profile, and username observations
- Leaked-document filenames, metadata, and content indicators where lawfully available and approved
What the corporate sponsor provides first
High-level program information only.
- Organization and authorized security contact
- Approximate number of participating executives
- Preferred onsite city, facility, and timing
- Desired notification and reporting cadence
- Known program concerns and internal stakeholders
Do not send executive personal emails, usernames, phone numbers, credentials, or sensitive family information through the public website.
What may be established onsite
Authorized identifiers and risk context.
- Full and commonly used names
- Personal and historical email addresses voluntarily included
- Usernames, aliases, and personal domains
- Prior employers, boards, public roles, and known impersonation concerns
- High-priority accounts or identities—without passwords or account access
The final identifier set, retention, storage, reporting, and destruction requirements are documented for the engagement.
Deliverables
Reports designed for both the participating executive and the security team.
Executive Baseline Brief
Concise exposure summary, key risk observations, confidence, and personal remediation priorities.
CISO Program Summary
Program-level findings, cross-executive trends, escalation items, and recommended corporate actions.
Priority Notifications
Human-reviewed alerts sent through the agreed channel when a finding meets the documented escalation criteria.
Recurring Intelligence Brief
New findings, changes, source context, disposition, limitations, and tracked recommendations.
Quarterly Review
Leadership-level discussion of trends, unresolved exposure, source coverage, and program adjustments.
Annual Re-Baseline
Optional reassessment of identifiers, life changes, board roles, travel exposure, and monitoring priorities.
Executive program inquiry
Start with executive count and onsite location—not personal identifiers.
DarkWater will discuss program fit, procurement needs, travel, handling requirements, and the initial baseline scope before requesting sensitive monitoring data.
