Part 9: Who DoxxScore Is For (and Who It's Not)

A question I keep getting is "Who needs a doxxing risk assessment?"

The honest answer? More people than you'd think.

DoxxScore was built for:

  • People going through life transitions. A bad breakup, moving, applying for a new job; these are moments when your digital trail can become a real vulnerability.

  • Professionals with public-facing roles. Attorneys, therapists, real estate agents, doctors, teachers. Basically anyone whose work puts them in front of people who might try to find them outside of that context.

  • Political activists and online annons. One day you’re anonymous, the next day a political enemy is doxxing you online. A surprising amount of your personal information is publicly available and you want to get it cleaned up as best you can before someone tries to doxx you.

  • Anyone who's ever Googled themselves and didn't like what they found. If that search made you uncomfortable, a deeper assessment will show you a more complete picture, and what to do about it.

Who it's NOT for:

It's not for organizations (we focus on individual risk). It's not a monitoring service that runs continuously (it's an assessment at a point in time).

And it's not a magic button because reducing your digital exposure takes effort. We just make sure that effort is focused on the right things.

I assumed people would want the most detailed report possible.
