We help you reclaim your privacy in a world that profits from your exposure.
WigSec provides personal privacy and security services for individuals who want to understand their digital exposure and take control of it. We use professional OSINT techniques to show you exactly what's publicly available about you—then help you fix it.
Inspired by privacy advocates like Michael Bazzell, we believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a luxury. Our mission is to make professional-grade privacy assessments and cleanup services accessible to everyone—not just corporations and high-net-worth individuals.
Too many services tell you "you've been breached" and leave you to figure out the rest. We don't just hand you a scary report—we provide clear action plans and, if you want, do the cleanup work for you.
WigSec was founded by Larry Wigington, a PhD researcher in Operations Research with expertise in OSINT methodology and ethical intelligence gathering. What started as academic research into privacy vulnerabilities evolved into a mission to help people protect themselves.
We combine academic rigor with practical tradecraft. Every assessment uses proven OSINT techniques. Every guide is based on real client engagements. We don't cut corners, we don't use fear tactics, and we don't sell your information to third parties—ever.
Your assessment data is yours alone. We never sell information, share client lists, or retain data beyond project completion. We practice what we preach.
Our guides are completely free—no email required, no paywalls, no upsells. We believe privacy education should be accessible to everyone.
We don't just tell you what's wrong—we help you fix it. From data broker opt-outs to social media lockdowns, we do the tedious work so you don't have to.
We only use publicly available information through passive reconnaissance. No hacking, no social engineering, no gray areas. Every engagement is NDA-protected.
We map your digital footprint using professional OSINT techniques. You see exactly what data brokers, attackers, or anyone with internet access can find about you.
Not all exposures are equal. We help you understand which vulnerabilities matter most and create a practical action plan based on your specific situation.
You can follow our guides yourself (100% free) or let us handle it for you. We submit opt-outs, lock down accounts, configure privacy settings—everything on your action plan.
We follow up to ensure the cleanup held. Data brokers re-list people all the time—we catch them and resubmit opt-outs as needed.
Comprehensive guides on data broker removal, breach response, social media privacy, and more. Always free, no email required.
