The everyday risks of online exposure
Judges, police officers, and social workers face higher stakes when their personal information is exposed. However, online risks aren’t limited to those in public-facing professions. Scammers target anyone, from servers and parking attendants to social workers and law enforcement. When they uncover someone’s identity or role, the exploitation can escalate quickly.
For judges, scammers can weaponize this knowledge, threatening exposure or reputational damage to extract money or other valuables. Acting fast to secure personal information is essential to mitigating these risks.
Swift response, lasting reassurance
At one Superior Court under the protection of Ironwall, a judge became concerned that his information might have been acquired by a scammer. He reported his concerns and Ironwall got to work immediately. Our team conducted a thorough investigation the same day, working closely with the client to address any exposure.
This incident happened early in the growth of Ironwall, so when this judge contacted us, our CEO followed up personally (despite being off work and traveling out of state) to ensure the situation was being handled. Since then, Ironwall has grown much bigger, but our commitment to high-quality service hasn’t changed, and our CEO still takes a personal interest in the welfare of every client, particularly in emergency situations when an active threat is reported.
Proactive monitoring at your fingertips
If there had been a violation in this case, Ironwall’s daily internet scan would have detected it without the need for a report. But we understand how vulnerable many judges and public officials feel in these divisive times. Our job is not only to remove threats to online privacy but also to communicate clearly and quickly with our clients to assure them that any arising situations are being addressed.
Ironwall’s personalized client portal offers real-time insights into the status of ongoing, daily scans and removals. This proactive approach allows clients to stay informed and confident that their privacy is protected.
With Ironwall, it’s not just about reacting to threats—it’s about preventing them from happening in the first place.
