The Information Was Always There. We Built the System to Find It.
DigitalStakeout exists to give security and risk teams the intelligence they need to protect people, organizations, and communities — before threats escalate, not after.
Where It Started
DigitalStakeout began in 2010 as a project within a state bureau of investigation — built to solve a specific problem: law enforcement teams needed a way to monitor the open internet for threats without relying on manual searches and fragmented tools.
Within weeks of launching, the platform helped recover a human trafficking victim. That moment defined our mission: the information was always there, scattered across the open web. What was missing was a system that could find it, understand it, and deliver it to the right people at the right time.
More than a decade later, that mission hasn't changed. The scale has. Today DigitalStakeout serves security firms, corporate security teams, law enforcement agencies, and family offices — monitoring millions of sources continuously across the surface web, social media, dark web, and domain infrastructure.

Our Team
Based in Atlanta, our team comprises highly vetted security professionals with distinguished backgrounds in military intelligence, federal law enforcement, corporate security, and executive protection. Every team member undergoes rigorous background screening and maintains the highest security standards.
This diverse expertise represents decades of combined experience protecting high-profile individuals and organizations. Our team understands the full spectrum of modern threats, from cyber exposure to physical surveillance, enabling us to deliver protection that bridges the gap between online risks and real-world security challenges.
Each professional contributes specialized knowledge in threat assessment, digital forensics, intelligence analysis, and crisis response, ensuring we can address any security challenge our clients face.

DigitalStakeout is a private US-based organization backed by 25+ private US-based investors who drive the innovation of our company and platform. Our advisory board features best-in-class leaders across the tech and security industries, bringing decades of combined expertise to guide our strategic direction and ensure we remain at the forefront of digital threat intelligence.
What We Believe
Our product decisions follow from a set of convictions about how intelligence platforms should work — and how vendors should treat the teams that depend on them.
Intelligence Should Be Accessible
A five-person team protecting a school district deserves the same caliber of threat intelligence as a Fortune 500 security operation. We built entity-based pricing and a full-platform-at-every-tier model so that coverage scales with your mission, not your budget.
Own Your Infrastructure
We collect every data point ourselves — no third-party APIs, no platform dependencies. When social networks change their terms or revoke access, our coverage doesn't skip a beat. That independence protects our customers from risks they shouldn't have to think about.
Transparency Builds Trust
We publish our pricing. We publish our classification taxonomy. We publish our documentation. When we can't do something, we say so. Security teams make high-stakes vendor decisions — they deserve a partner that doesn't hide behind "contact us for a quote."
Knowledge Should Outlast People
When analysts leave, institutional knowledge walks out the door. We're building a platform where every entity, relationship, and pattern your team discovers becomes permanent organizational memory — so your intelligence compounds instead of resetting.
Where We're Heading
DigitalStakeout is evolving from a monitoring platform into a digital workforce for security and risk teams — where AI handles the repetitive work so humans focus on judgment.
Detect & Monitor
Continuous monitoring across the surface web, social media, and dark web — with AI classification across 16 risk domains, investigation tools, and real-time alerting.
Know & Remember
A knowledge graph that preserves institutional memory — entities, relationships, and context that survive people, tools, and organizational changes.
Act & Automate
Agentic workflows that handle collection, triage, investigation, and reporting — multi-step intelligence operations that run without manual intervention.
