BlackCloak unveils improved data removal to enhance privacy

BlackCloak has introduced enhanced data removal capabilities to its Digital Executive Protection Platform, aimed at helping corporate executives and high-net-worth individuals better manage and secure their online personal information.

The platform's new features involve continuous scanning of the internet to uncover and remove clients' personal data from various data broker websites. This service aims to reduce the individuals' exposure online and protect them, their families, and their businesses from potential misuse of personal information.

Matt Covington, Vice President of Product at BlackCloak, stated, "We are committed to making the digital lives of our members safer by putting the power to control personal data back in their hands. BlackCloak is special because we not only put an effective, transparent, easy-to-use technology in the hands of our members, we also provide them with a high touch, personal concierge service. Together, we can address the growing challenges of online privacy. We believe everyone has the right to privacy, and we are here to protect that right."

The platform combines advanced technology with support from a cybersecurity concierge team. Clients receive alert notifications through the BlackCloak app when their information is compromised online, allowing them to take prompt action. The measures include executing password resets, setting up dual-factor authentication, implementing encrypted password vaults, and assisting with adding a pin to an IRS account. This comprehensive support aims to mitigate potential damage following a data breach.

Another new function of the BlackCloak app is the automatic removal request of detailed imagery of clients' homes from Google Street View, which is often exploited in extortion and social engineering attacks. By reducing the availability of such detailed images online, clients' digital footprints are minimised, providing less accessible information to potential attackers.

BlackCloak provides services to Fortune 500 companies and various industries, offering protection against cybersecurity, privacy, and reputational risks. Its holistic approach combines both technology and concierge support, ensuring that executives' families, reputations, and finances are safeguarded. This service aims to protect companies' brands, intellectual property, data, and finances from threats linked to their executives without intruding into personal lives.

Used by Fortune 500 companies across all industries, the BlackCloak Concierge Cybersecurity & PrivacyTM Platform includes mobile and desktop apps and concierge support. Executives and high-profile individuals gain peace of mind knowing their family, reputation, and finances are secured. Companies are assured that their brand, intellectual property, data, and finances are protected against threats from executives without invading their personal lives.
