Overview

Optery for Business is an enterprise-grade solution tailored to dramatically reduce the online exposure of executive and employee personal data, enhancing corporate security and employee privacy. We are the only fully self-service employee data removal offering for businesses. This service, covering 605+ data broker sites, is essential in mitigating risks from a variety of threats, including phishing, smishing, vishing, credential theft, Business Email Compromise (BEC), impersonation, doxing, and harassment. Optery for Business enables IT teams and cybersecurity staff to close a significant security gap and address a neglected but critical part of their attack surface- exposed employee profiles online. In doing so they dramatically reduce their risk of attacks and breaches.

Optery for Business is part search engine and part opt out software. Our patented search technology finds where executive and employee personal info is being posted online by data brokers and sends Exposure Reports with screenshots and links to the results. We find on average ~100 exposed profiles per person, including ~20-50 missed by other services.

Optery for Business is also available as an API, enabling other companies to seamlessly embed Optery’s award-winning and patented data broker scanning and removal technology into their applications at scale. By integrating the Optery API, they can quickly scan hundreds of data brokers, produce dozens of screenshots their customers can see, and send automated opt out requests for removal. Additionally, our API partners can provide ongoing monitoring and deliver notifications when new data is exposed online, enabling them to ensure the privacy and security of their customers’ personal information. The Optery API can be utilized to create new data privacy and security features across various use cases and industries, including Consumer Internet, Cybersecurity, Identity Theft Protection, Insurance, Personal Finance, Physical Security, VPN Software, and others.

How we are different

1) Optery employs award-winning search technology, including patented and proprietary search technologies, enhanced with advanced anti-bot detection, sophisticated AI matching algorithms for discovery, and consistent monitoring through monthly automated searches, making it the most sophisticated data broker scanning software available today, far surpassing Google and competitors in uncovering user profiles, averaging ~100 profiles per user. Customers often switch to us after experiencing the limitations of other services, evidenced by ~50+ profiles missed by competitors but identified by Optery. No one has data broker scanning software even remotely close to us. For more info and to read the full patent, see the "Optery's Patented Search Technology" article on our blog page.


2) Optery is the only personal data removal service that provides detailed exposure and removal reports, complete with screenshots and links to results, to demonstrate the effectiveness of its services. Our Removals Report has no peers in the market and is provided quarterly.


3) When it comes to removals, Optery leverages a sophisticated 'humans + machines' approach, combining the best of automation with the added precision of manual reviews and handling of edge cases. This is further enhanced by the utilization of Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) and Authorized Agent Requests, ensuring an effective and comprehensive data removal process from hundreds of sites. Optery's strategy surpasses competitors who rely solely on manual methods or outdated technology (which is slow and error-prone), or those depending entirely on automated processes with limited scope (focusing only on the easiest-to-opt-out-of sites).
