Attackers reach executives through their families.
A public profile, a school photo and one direct message to a child are enough to start. We map what an attacker can see about your executives and their households, test it with consent, and put detection on the children's devices.
How the attack runs
- Reconnaissance: public profiles, schools, sport clubs and routines of the executive's household.
- First contact: a direct message to a child from a fake peer, or to a partner from a fake recruiter or colleague.
- Pressure: AI-generated images make sextortion possible from a single school photo. First contact to crisis can take hours.
- Leverage: a compromised family member gives the attacker a hold over the executive, for payments, access or information.
What the assessment covers
Exposure map
What is public about each executive and their household: profiles, schools, clubs, addresses and routines. Ranked by how an attacker would use it.
Social-engineering test
A consented test against adults only: the executive, their assistant, and a partner who agrees. Children are never tested.
Family protocols
Verification phrases, payment rules and who to call, written for the household and the executive assistant.
Protection on the device
Guardii on the children's devices, set up for first contact from unknown senders, with detection running on the device.
How it is built
- Detection runs on the device, including the AI models.
- Message content never leaves the device unless the family chooses to share it.
- The executive's work and personal messages are out of scope.
- Each account is connected by the family, with its consent.
What your security team sees
- De-identified counts and categories across the protected households. No content and no identities.
- Escalation routes each family agrees: the family first, then your security team or police where agreed.
- An architecture review pack and data-flow maps before anything is installed. IT & cyber ›
What you hold at the end
- An exposure report for each executive household, seen by that executive only.
- A summary for the board and security team, with no personal detail.
- A protocol pack for each family and the executive assistants.
- A pilot plan for protected households, with success measures agreed.
