In the modern threat landscape, physical protection without digital security is fundamentally incomplete. Sentinel Africa Group's Cyber Protection division bridges this gap, providing executive-level digital protection that mirrors the rigour and thoroughness of our physical close protection services. Our digital intelligence team monitors, defends, and actively reduces the cyber attack surface of executives, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and their families, using our proprietary ThreatWatch platform to provide continuous, AI-assisted threat detection across the surface, deep, and dark web.

Every engagement begins with a comprehensive digital exposure assessment. Our analysts map the principal's entire digital footprint, identifying every piece of personal information accessible online, from data broker listings and social media profiles to leaked credentials on dark web marketplaces and exposed corporate records. The average executive has over 247 identifiable data points scattered across the internet, each one a potential vector for social engineering, identity theft, doxxing, or physical security threats. Our digital footprint reduction service systematically removes or suppresses this information, typically achieving 80-90% reduction in exposed personal data within the first 60 days.

Ongoing monitoring is where ThreatWatch delivers its greatest value. The platform continuously scans dark web forums, paste sites, criminal marketplaces, and social media for mentions of protected principals, their family members, and their organisations. When threats are detected, whether a leaked password, a physical threat posted on social media, or reconnaissance activity by hostile actors, our team responds immediately with remediation actions and alerts to the principal's close protection team. This integration between digital and physical security is what makes Sentinel's approach uniquely comprehensive.

Our Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) capability extends digital protection into the physical world. Using specialist equipment including non-linear junction detectors, spectrum analysers, and thermal imaging, our TSCM team conducts thorough sweeps of offices, residences, vehicles, and meeting rooms to detect hidden cameras, audio recording devices, GPS trackers, and compromised telecommunications equipment. Combined with our device security audits and home network hardening services, we ensure that our principals are protected from digital threats regardless of where they originate. With 142 principals under continuous monitoring and a growing roster of corporate clients, our cyber protection division represents the future of integrated executive security.

ThreatWatch™ Digital Intelligence Platform

ThreatWatch is the engine driving Sentinel's cyber protection services. The platform uses AI-assisted analysis to continuously monitor the digital environment surrounding each protected principal, processing data from the surface web, deep web, and dark web to identify threats before they materialise into real-world risk.

The platform monitors for credential leaks, social media threats, doxxing attempts, impersonation accounts, and reconnaissance activity by hostile actors. When threats are detected, ThreatWatch automatically generates alerts to our cyber analysts and, where relevant, to the principal's physical protection team. This closed-loop integration between digital intelligence and physical security is what sets Sentinel apart from standalone cybersecurity providers.

AI Threat Analysis

Machine learning algorithms identifying patterns and anomalies across millions of data points.

Dark Web Crawling

Automated surveillance of criminal forums, marketplaces, and paste sites.

Social Monitoring

Real-time detection of threats, mentions, and impersonation across social platforms.

Credential Watch

Immediate alerts when protected email addresses or passwords appear in data breaches.

Case Study

UHNW Family | Digital Protection Programme
89% Digital Exposure Reduction

Sentinel Africa Group was engaged by an ultra-high-net-worth family to conduct a comprehensive digital protection programme after receiving credible threats linked to their online exposure. Our initial assessment revealed extensive personal data across 34 exposed accounts, data broker listings, social media profiles, and dark web credential leaks. Over a 90-day intensive programme, we systematically removed or suppressed personal information, secured all compromised accounts with advanced authentication, conducted TSCM sweeps of three properties, and implemented ongoing ThreatWatch monitoring for all family members. Digital exposure was reduced by 89%, and the family now benefits from continuous 24/7 monitoring and quarterly TSCM sweeps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Digital executive protection is the cyber equivalent of physical close protection. It involves monitoring and defending an executive's digital presence, including email accounts, social media profiles, financial accounts, and personal data exposure across the internet and dark web. The goal is to reduce the digital attack surface, detect threats before they materialise, and protect identity, reputation, and assets from cyber-enabled attacks.
ThreatWatch is our proprietary intelligence platform combining OSINT monitoring, dark web surveillance, social media analysis, and credential monitoring. The platform uses AI-assisted analysis to process thousands of data points across the surface, deep, and dark web, alerting our analysts when relevant threats, data exposures, or mentions of protected individuals are detected.
Our digital footprint reduction service systematically identifies and removes or suppresses personal information from data brokers, people search sites, social media platforms, and public records databases. While complete removal is technically impossible, we routinely achieve 80-90% reductions in exposed personal data. The process is ongoing, as new data exposures are continuously detected and addressed through our monitoring platform.
Yes. Our dark web monitoring service continuously surveys dark web marketplaces, forums, paste sites, and chat channels for any mentions of protected principals, their family members, their companies, and their credentials. When we detect exposed data being traded, we immediately alert the client and take remediation steps including credential resets and fraud alerts.
A TSCM (Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures) sweep is a comprehensive physical inspection for electronic eavesdropping devices. Our team uses specialist equipment including non-linear junction detectors, spectrum analysers, thermal imaging, and RF detection equipment to identify hidden cameras, audio recording devices, GPS trackers, and compromised telecommunications equipment. We conduct TSCM sweeps of offices, residences, vehicles, and meeting rooms.
