The threat isn't just the systems, it's the people and the personal data sitting exposed on the public web.
That's the problem VanishID was built for. We continuously find and remove sensitive personal information for executives, employees, and their families.
We're proud to share that VanishID has been named winner of the 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards for Best Digital Executive Protection Platform, awarded by The Hacker News.
Executives have an external identity, the trail of personal information that lives outside your firewall,
across the open web. Our AI agents continuously find and remove exposed personal information across data brokers and anywhere else an executive's name gets tied to personally identifiable information.
Thank you to The Hacker News, our customers, and our team members.
He's consulted and testified on legislative efforts in various states on passage of laws pertaining to personally identifiable information, including Daniel's Law.
