Anyone preparing a fraud, a phishing campaign or a physical threat starts the same way: by looking you up. Home addresses on data broker sites, staff lists scraped from social networks, old accounts in breach dumps, a phone number on a forgotten forum post. Each piece is small. Together they are a working file on a person.
Durandir Counterintelligence runs that search before someone else does. It takes a subject you are entitled to protect, such as yourself, an executive or your organisation, and finds what is publicly exposed about them.
Then it helps you reduce it.
From exposure to source
A list of places where your data appears is not much use on its own. The same record is often copied across dozens of sites that all took it from one origin, and removing the copies while the origin stays online means they come back.
For each exposure, it captures evidence of what is published and confirms that it really refers to the subject and not to someone with the same name. It then traces the record back to where it was first published.
The result is an exposure map: what is out there, how serious each item is, and which sources feed which.
Removal requests
For each source, Durandir Counterintelligence identifies who can remove the data, such as the site operator, the data broker or the search engine, and prepares the request with the legal basis that applies, including erasure and objection rights under the GDPR.
You review and send the requests. Each one becomes a tracked case with its date, its recipient and its deadline.
If a recipient refuses or does not answer in time, it prepares the escalation, for example a complaint to the data protection authority, with the full history attached.
Checking that it worked
A confirmation email is not proof of removal. It goes back to each source after the request, checks whether the data is still there, and records the outcome.
Exposure returns over time as new sites copy old data, so the check can be repeated. You keep a dated history of every case and a report showing what was exposed, what was removed and what remains.
