Learn Protecting High-Risk People

Monitoring & Response

High-risk people — journalists, activists, executives, and abuse survivors — need proactive protection: address privacy (registered agents, PO boxes), an organizational safety plan, takedown retainers, and rehearsed response through tabletop drills. Executive and personal protection is a growing professional field.

Some people carry far more exposure than others. Journalists, activists, and executives are public-facing targets, and abuse survivors face a different but equally serious danger: for them, a leaked address can mean an immediate physical threat. Protection for these groups has to be proactive rather than reactive.

The foundation is address privacy — using registered agents and PO boxes so a home address never enters public records — paired with an organizational safety plan that names who acts when someone is targeted and keeps takedown retainers ready so removals happen fast.

A plan only works if it has been practiced. Tabletop drills walk the team through a simulated doxxing so everyone knows their role before a real incident, not during one. This kind of executive and personal protection has grown into its own professional field.

High-risk groups: journalists, activists, executives, abuse survivors.

Address privacy uses registered agents and PO boxes.

Tabletop drills rehearse the org safety plan before a crisis.

Read the implementation

Connect each part of the code to the concept before you type.

1. Who is high-risk

Journalists, activists, and executives are visible targets who face elevated doxxing and harassment risk.

who: journalists-activists-execs

2. Survivors too

Abuse survivors are high-risk because exposure of their location can put their physical safety in immediate danger.

also: abuse-survivors

3. Address privacy

Address privacy measures — registered agents, PO boxes — keep a home address out of public records.

measures: address-privacy

4. Org safety plan

An organizational safety plan defines who acts, how takedowns are funded, and how the person is supported when targeted.

process: org-safety-plan

5. Tabletop drills

Tabletop drills rehearse the response so the plan works under pressure instead of being read for the first time during a crisis.
