I help you stop identity fraud before it starts.

I build the controls that make fraud and account takeover far harder to pull off.

A fraud alert, an account takeover, or a lockout has shaken your confidence in the safeguards you relied on. I close the gaps and help you regain control.

Exposed information can be used again later. I help you lock down the places it could be used, before anyone tries.

Protecting someone else's accounts is hard to do from a distance. I work with both of you, and I explain each step in plain language.

Monitoring alerts you after something has already gone wrong. I add the controls that make that far less likely.

I configure the protections your financial institutions offer. If you've been a victim, I know how to request elevated fraud monitoring and victim-of-identity-theft status, and what to say so the right workflow starts. I also restrict checks, ACH, outbound wires, and new linked accounts, and when needed, move you to new account numbers.

These need their own protection. I set up multi-factor authentication, transfer and withdrawal restrictions, and alerts wherever the provider allows.

Password resets for nearly every other account land in your email. I harden email and cloud accounts so they're far harder to take over: FIDO2 security keys and passkeys where supported, multi-factor authentication everywhere else, clean device and session lists, and login alerts.

Attackers often stay in through mail-forwarding rules, added recovery emails and phone numbers, app passwords, and third-party app access. I find and remove them. I also set you up with a password manager, unique passwords, and safely stored backup codes.

Your phone number is a key to many of your other accounts. I set port-out locks and SIM-swap protections at your carrier, so your number is far harder to hijack or reroute. I also move sign-in codes off text messages wherever a service allows.

Locks and freezes can't stop a scam where you send the money yourself. I set transfer limits and alerts on payment apps and bank accounts, and add a trusted contact where offered. I also help your family set up a code word and a call-back habit for urgent requests.

A credit freeze keeps lenders from seeing your credit file, which they need to open new credit in your name. I set up freezes and fraud alerts properly, including protected-consumer freezes for children and for adults who can't manage their own credit. For confirmed victims, I add extended fraud statements that ask lenders to verify by phone before approving new credit.

A credit freeze doesn't reach these. I set up an IRS Identity Protection PIN and lock your Social Security account against changes to benefits, address, and direct deposit. I also place freezes at ChexSystems and Early Warning Services, which screen new bank accounts and cards, and at other specialty agencies such as NCTUE, Innovis, and The Work Number.

If a provider or insurer has been breached, medical identity fraud is in play. I request privacy locks with your providers and insurers to help prevent fake claims and prescription fraud.

Criminals often redirect mail after financial fraud. I set up USPS Informed Delivery with identity verification, so address-forwarding fraud is far harder to pull off.

One good monitoring service is enough. I set it up as a warning layer if your SSN or banking data surface again, not as the strategy. I also help remove your personal details from people-search sites and tighten social media privacy, so scammers and attackers have less to work with.

After fraud, an account takeover, or a lockout, I remediate the vulnerabilities behind it and remove the conditions that let it happen. I also help you prepare the police report, FTC identity theft report, FBI IC3 complaint, and fraud affidavit that institutions and investigators rely on. I'm a vetted InfraGard member with decades of collaboration with law enforcement, so the reports I prepare reach the right people quickly.

How is this different from credit monitoring?

Credit monitoring alerts you after something has already gone wrong. I work to make those failures far less likely in the first place, by hardening your accounts and putting preventive controls in place.

Can you help if something has already happened?

Yes. Often that is exactly when people come to me: after a fraud alert, an account takeover, or a lockout. I close the gaps, remediate the vulnerabilities, and help you regain control of your accounts and identity.

Which accounts and systems do you cover?

Banking, investment, phone and carrier, email, device, and cloud accounts, plus your credit, tax, Social Security, medical, and mail records. I also help you resist scams. If you're not sure where your biggest risks are, that is what the first conversation is for.

Can't I just do this myself?

Some of it, yes. The harder part is knowing which controls matter for your situation and how they work together across your accounts. I set them up to hold against how attackers actually operate.

Isn't a credit freeze enough?

A freeze is a strong control, but it covers one risk: new credit opened through the credit bureaus. It doesn't reach your existing accounts, your phone number, or the screening agencies outside the three bureaus. I set up freezes and fraud alerts properly, then cover what they can't reach.

Who will I be working with?

You work directly with me. I'm a CISSP-certified cybersecurity professional and vetted InfraGard member with an MS in Information Assurance from Norwich University. I have more than 20 years across defense, federal, intelligence, law enforcement, nuclear, and private-sector environments.

Can you guarantee I won't become a victim of fraud?

No, and no honest security professional can. I remove the paths attackers rely on, so the attempts that remain are far more likely to fail.
