On 16 July, Crisis24 launched what it calls Digital Executive Protection, a service that pushes principal protection past the corporate firewall and into the executive's personal digital life.
The offer covers a principal's personal devices, home network, personal accounts, digital footprint and family members. Named components include removal of personally identifiable information from more than 200 data brokers, round-the-clock breach alerting, deep and dark web monitoring with quarterly reporting, structured hardening of home networks and connected devices, family cyber-awareness training, and a dedicated response line. The company's framing is blunt: personal channels have become the leading attack vector against senior leaders, because corporate systems are now well defended while the executive at home is not.
This matters to close-protection professionals for a practical reason. The intelligence that lets a hostile party find a principal, their home address, their routine, their travel, their family, is increasingly assembled from data brokers, breaches and open sources rather than physical surveillance. Digital exposure feeds the physical threat. A team that only holds the kerb-to-door piece is working with half the picture.
The commercial signal is worth reading too. Providers are packaging cyber and privacy work into the protection offer and selling it to boards as one service. Operators who understand how open-source exposure translates into a physical threat picture, and can speak to it in a client briefing, are more useful and harder to replace than those who cannot.
