Brand Risk Monitoring Case Study
Securing Investor Trust Through Proactive Brand Risk Monitoring
Find out how we detected lookalike domains, dismantled impersonating accounts and prevented investor data exposure for a leading mutual fund company.
The Challenge
The organisation’s expanding digital presence across investor portals, mobile applications and social platforms created growing exposure to brand misuse. Fraudsters were registering lookalike domains, running fake Telegram and WhatsApp groups, and circulating investor data on dark web forums. The organisation needed a unified, real-time capability to detect and neutralise these threats before they reached investors.
Our Approach
We implemented a targeted Brand Risk Monitoring programme covering the organisation’s full external digital footprint. The engagement combined surface web scanning, social media surveillance and dark web intelligence with a rapid takedown mechanism coordinated directly with hosting providers and social platforms.
