What your employees’ broker exposure actually buys an attacker
Broker data hands spear-phishers the pretext they need — Shield removes it across every employee, with admin oversight and audit trails.
A spear-phisher who knows your senior engineer’s home town, their spouse’s first name, and their child’s school doesn’t need to be clever. They send a fake permission form from “the school.” Your engineer opens it on their phone over lunch. By Friday, the password they reuse at work is on a Telegram channel.
Every detail in that story came from a registered data broker. Most brokers are required by law to delete that data on request. In our experience filing these requests, few respond to a single-person ask inside 45 days. You have to file under the right statute and follow up on a set cadence.
KnytX Shield for Teams removes the input across every employee, in the background, with admin oversight and audit trails. That forces the spear-phisher to do real reconnaissance instead of buying an estimated $0.50 dossier.
Who this is for
Security teams fighting OSINT-driven spear-phishing — the fix is removing the OSINT.
This is the product if your security team triages phishing for a living. It fits if your last red-team report cited “publicly available employee PII” as the entry point. It fits if your CISO has read one too many articles about CEO-impersonation wire fraud. The threat model is OSINT-driven spear-phishing. The fix is removing the OSINT.
If sales or marketing leads the purchase and the problem is weeks lost to security review, you want KnytX Trust instead. It automates buyer-facing security questionnaires and hosts your public trust page. Both products are reached from the Business door. The pitch differs because the buyer differs, not because they’re competing bundles.
What rollout looks like
Pilot in week one, full coverage by week three, with per-team RBAC and optional SIEM feeds.
The three steps above cover the shape of it. Two details worth calling out: in weeks two and three you set RBAC separately for security, IT, and HR, so each team sees only what it should. And if you want one, the API can feed risk posture straight into your SIEM.
Brokers typically process removals in 7-45 days, so your first quarterly threat-surface PDF already shows movement. It lands at the end of quarter one. That gives you a defensible answer for the next CISO peer who asks how you cut employee PII exposure this year.
What it costs
$9.99 per seat, per month — one invoice line for per-employee removal, admin tooling, and a quarterly threat-surface PDF.
At $9.99 per seat per month, a 50-person team runs $499.50 a month, or $5,994 a year. That’s one line on one invoice for per-employee broker removal, admin tooling, and a quarterly threat-surface PDF.
Compare it yourself: DeleteMe’s individual plan lists at $129 per person per year (DeleteMe pricing as of early 2026; check their current rate before comparing). Multiply that across 50 employees, then add a separate dark-web monitoring product and the security-team hours now spent triaging executive-impersonation reports. Do the math for your own headcount.
