Entering Public Life Prepared
Candidates and public figures face unique cyber risks. We help you understand your exposure, prepare appropriately, and maintain security throughout heightened-visibility periods.
The Campaign Environment
Running for office or stepping into public visibility changes your threat landscape fundamentally. Your digital footprint becomes opposition research. Your family's privacy becomes a vulnerability. Your campaign infrastructure becomes a target.
Effective campaign security isn't about fear — it's about preparation. We help candidates and their teams understand what matters, what doesn't, and how to maintain appropriate security without disrupting the work of reaching voters.
What Makes Campaigns Different
Compressed Timeline
Campaigns operate on fixed schedules. Security measures must be implemented quickly and work immediately.
Expanding Attack Surface
Volunteers, donors, staff, and vendors all create access points that need appropriate controls.
Motivated Adversaries
Opposition researchers, activists, and sometimes state actors have incentive to find and exploit weaknesses.
Personal-Political Overlap
The candidate's personal digital history becomes campaign liability. Family members become targets.
Advisory Services
Pre-Campaign Hardening
Before you announce, we assess your digital footprint, identify vulnerabilities, and implement foundational protections. Data broker removal, account security, family exposure assessment, and privacy architecture.
Campaign Infrastructure Review
Assessment of campaign systems — email, donor databases, volunteer platforms, and communication tools. We identify gaps and provide practical remediation guidance appropriate to campaign resources.
Staff & Volunteer Guidance
Security awareness training scaled to campaign needs. Practical guidance that campaign workers can actually follow — not corporate security theater.
Active Campaign Support
Ongoing advisory during the campaign period. Monitoring for exposure, incident response coordination, and adaptation as the threat environment evolves.
Incident Preparedness
Response planning for likely scenarios — account compromise, doxxing, disinformation, and targeted harassment. Know what to do before you need to do it.
Who We Advise
- Candidates for local, state, and federal office
- Campaign managers and senior staff
- Political consultants advising candidates
- Individuals considering public office
- Public figures entering heightened visibility periods
Beyond the Campaign
Win or lose, heightened exposure doesn't end with the election. Elected officials, appointees, and public figures need ongoing security posture. We provide continuity — from candidate to officeholder, or back to private life with appropriate protection.
Many campaign clients also engage us for personal privacy advisory and business security for their professional practices. The same advisory relationship, adapted to changing circumstances.
Preparation Before Announcement
The best time to address campaign security is before you're in the spotlight. Let's discuss your timeline and what preparation looks like for your situation.
