We bridge the gap between high-risk profiles and absolute digital peace of mind. Built on over 15 years of international intelligence and security experience, Hopsec delivers human-focused, deeply customised OPSEC solutions for journalists, researchers, content creators, and public figures.
Hopsec is a specialised security consultancy founded by a team with over 15 years of international experience in high-level security and intelligence fields.
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all software patches or automated checklists or humanised ISO-standard risk assessments. True human operational security is human-focused. Every individual faces a unique threat model based on their profession, geographic location, personal connections and public exposure. We analyse your specific circumstances to build a defense strategy that integrates seamlessly into your daily life without paralysing your workflow.
The modern threat landscape thrives on the bleed-through between who you are publicly and how you live online privately. Our primary objective is to widen the gap between these two world as much as digitally possible.
Your Public Profile: Your intentional digital footprint. This includes public social media profiles, professional contact details, academic publications, and official work details. We help you optimise this space so you can remain visible to your audience without exposing avoidable vulnerabilities.
Your Private Profile: Your protected offline reality with the accompaning personal digital life. This includes personal email addresses and phone numbers, private social media accounts, family and friends network and your physical location details.
Our methodology is thorough, collaborative, and ongoing. Security is not a single product; It is a continuous posture.
Your engagement begins with a comprehensive, confidential questionnaire. From this data, our intelligence experts map out your digital footprint, identifying potential vulnerabilities and analysing the wider threat landscape based on your details.
We review your preliminary Threat Map together. To maintain absolute privacy, this meeting takes place either in-person or via Proton-Meet - an encrypted, no-log video interface. Together, we lock down your exact risk assessment.
You receive a step-by-step, actionable operational security plan. This includes a curated selection of vetted, open-source tools and precise instructions on how to maintain your public profile while removing the bridges to your private profile.
We don't just leave you with a document. Your package includes an optional one-to-one setup call. We can help you troubleshooting and answering any immediate operational questions.
The digital landscape changes weekly. For a full year following your consultation, our team actively monitors upgrades, patches, and shifts in the tools we recommended to you. If a configuration changes or a new vulnerability arises, you will receive a direct, actionable email telling you exactly what to adjust.
Just as your life, career, and geographical assignments change, the threat landscape evolvec around you.Tools change ownership, new data brokers emerge, and adversarial tactics adapt. To maintain a high-level of protection, we strongly advice our clients to re-engage our service every 12 months to audit, upgrade, and rebuild their threat maps against contemporary risks.
