What is threat leakage, and why does it matter for schools?

Leakage is when a person reveals intent to harm before acting, often in a post or a message. Finding it early gives a threat assessment team time to act. See the threat leakage guide for the research behind it.

Does DigitalStakeout monitor students?

No. It watches public sources for content that names your schools, events, buildings and leaders. It does not access student accounts, school systems or private messages.

Can we cover several campuses?

Yes. Each campus, event and venue is added to the same program, and alerts route to the team responsible for each one.

What does DigitalStakeout not do?

It does not predict or prevent violence, replace emergency notification or access private accounts and school systems. DigitalStakeout covers public and authorized sources, tells your team what it found and why it matters, and supports the investigation. Response stays with your team and your existing systems.
