Getting Started with DigitalStakeout Protect

🔁 Upgrading from Scan

If you previously used DigitalStakeout Scan, you’ll already be familiar with core features like monitoring and alerting. Protect builds on that foundation with:

• ✅ Remediation capabilities (not just detection)
• ✅ Analyst support hours
• ✅ Takedown workflows
• ✅ Deeper classification and alert coverage

Protect is ideal for executives, public figures, high-net-worth individuals, and others with elevated online risk.

⚠️ Notes on Timing

• PII removals from data broker sites may take time — most brokers process requests within 30–45 days
• Takedown requests are executed upon detection and follow each platform’s terms
• Analyst time is scheduled upon request and must be used per quarter (not rolled over)

🔐 Your Responsibility

DigitalStakeout Protect is a managed service — you don’t need to configure anything manually. Simply keep your onboarding indicators up to date and notify us if:

• Your risk profile changes
• You encounter harassment or impersonation
• You need to allocate your analyst hours
