Tracelight
Executive protection

Threat assessment for principals,
delivered fast.

EP teams need fast OSINT on three things: what's publicly exposed about their principal, who's saying what about them on social + dark-web, and what's the threat landscape at upcoming venues. Tracelight runs all three in parallel and ships a structured EP brief in under 5 minutes per principal.

What this fixes.

PAIN 1
Manual social-media monitoring on named targets is slow.
EP teams running social monitoring on principals across 15+ platforms manually is full-time analyst work. Automated cross-platform monitoring with severity-graded alerts beats it.
PAIN 2
Pre-event venue assessment lacks OSINT context.
The dark-web mention of the principal in connection with a venue, the local anti-X activity on social media in the 48 hours before the visit — these are not in traditional advance work but they matter.
PAIN 3
Doxx exposure baseline is hard to monitor over time.
Knowing what's currently public about your principal — home address, family details, daily routine signals — informs both your security posture and your remediation strategy.
What gets checked

8+ data sources running in parallel.

Common questions.

Can you monitor for credible threats in real-time?+

Tracelight runs continuous-monitor cadences (daily/weekly/custom) with severity-graded alerts via Slack, Discord, Teams, or webhook. Real-time-real-time monitoring (sub-minute) requires a dedicated TI platform on top — we surface persistent signals, not minute-by-minute streams.

Does this work for non-US principals?+

US-source coverage is most complete (PACER, OFAC, US social platforms). UK + EU + most of LatAm covered well through sanctions, adverse-media, and social monitoring. Some Middle East + Asia coverage is uneven by jurisdiction; tell us where you have specific principals and we'll be honest about coverage.

Is this compliant with GDPR for EU principals?+

We're a data processor; you're the controller. GDPR DSAR export + retention controls are built in. For named-target monitoring, you'll need a documented legitimate-interest basis in your EU operations.
