PII Removal + Doxxing Response

Automate PII discovery and removal across data brokers to reduce physical, fraud, and reputational risk.

PII Removal + Doxxing Response

Removal Without Context Is Just Cleanup

Standalone PII removal tools win on volume and breadth, but they stop at the removal request. They can't tell you whether the same address keeps resurfacing, whether a threat actor is actively circling the listing, or if it's worth escalating. ZeroFox pairs PII and credential removal with threat intelligence, so exposure connects to action instead of a checked box.

Frequently Asked Questions

A data broker is a company that collects personally identifiable information (PII) from public records and other sources, then sells or publishes it as searchable “profiles.” These listings can include current and past addresses, phone numbers, relatives, age, and other identifying details that make targeting easier.
Corporate Security teams protecting people whose visibility or access increases organizational risk. This typically includes executives and board members, plus key employees with privileged access (Finance, IT, HR), and anyone facing elevated harassment or stalking risk due to role or public exposure.
ZeroFox scans data broker and people-search sites for listings that match approved identifiers tied to the individual being protected (for example name, known aliases, and other matching signals). When a match is found, it’s captured for review and removal workflow tracking.
It depends on the site. Some removals can happen in days, while others take weeks due to site-specific review steps and processing timelines. ZeroFox helps by submitting requests at scale, tracking status, and monitoring for re-listings so the data doesn’t quietly reappear.
Data brokers pull information from all over, other brokers, scraped websites, public records, and stitch it into a single profile for each person. Sometimes they stitch together two different people by mistake, and that error becomes part of what shows up when someone searches your name. We show you the record the site is actually surfacing, since that's what a threat actor would see too, and we cast a wide net on purpose, so a partial match or an inherited mistake doesn't slip through just because it's not a perfect one-to-one hit.
No tool finds everything, every time, and we're not going to claim otherwise. Gaps happen: bad or incomplete identifiers, a site that's briefly down, a new listing posted since our last scan, or a site that just won't show its hand. What continuous scanning does is close those gaps over time, instead of leaving you with a one-time snapshot that goes stale the moment something new gets posted.
