Black Mirror
Assessment.

A BMA evaluates an individual or entity's online exposure, data vulnerabilities, and exploitable footprint - the way a motivated adversary would. The output is a confidential report: what an attacker can see, what an attacker can use, and what to fix first.
§ 01What it is

The thesis,
in plain language.

The premise of a Black Mirror Assessment is to look in the same mirror an adversary would. We run the same searches, query the same forums, pull from the same breach corpora, and assemble the same exploitable profile that a sophisticated targeting operation would assemble against the subject - but we put it in the subject's own hands, with a remediation plan.

Executives, family offices, family members, and key personnel are the typical subjects. The deliverable is a sealed report accessible only by the subject and the engaging principal.

§ 02Capabilities

What it does,
operationally.

01

OSINT sweep

Social media profiles, professional records, public databases, property records, court filings, photography metadata - everything an opportunistic adversary would collect.

02

Dark web exposure

Search of dark web forums and breach corpora for compromised credentials, leaked PII, hacker-database appearances, and active sale listings.

03

Risk assessment

Identification of exposure that materially elevates physical, financial, or reputational risk - and which signals would-be adversaries treat as a green light.

04

Family + close-ties scan

Optional inclusion of family members and immediate ties - adversaries frequently pivot to the principal through softer targets.

05

Mitigation playbook

Concrete remediation: data broker removal, privacy setting changes, credential rotation, posture changes - prioritized by risk reduction per unit of effort.

06

Re-assessment cadence

Annual or semi-annual re-runs measure remediation success and surface new exposure that has accumulated since the prior assessment.
