Questions we
answer first.

Straight answers on engagement, privacy, pricing, and scope. If your question is missing, send it on the channel you prefer and an operator will reply.

01 / Engagement Working together

Engagement.

Who do you take as clients?

Executives, founders, public figures, their families, and a narrow set of organizations that carry the same risk profile. We decline work we cannot run at our standard or that sits outside defensive work.

How do I reach you?

Use the request form or reach us on an encrypted channel. We read it within one business day when there is fit. The first conversation stays high level. You do not need to ship evidence in message one.

When does the NDA start?

From first contact. Every conversation is treated as confidential. Active work runs under a signed NDA and engagement letter. We do not publish client names or case studies.

How fast can you start?

Guardian coverage can open in days once terms are set. Project work, sweeps, and federal files depend on clearance and travel. We give you a real date in the proposal, not a marketing window.

Do you work outside the United States?

Yes. Multi-country exposure is common for the clients we serve. Jurisdiction and travel are scoped up front so nobody improvises at the border.

What is the difference between Guardian and Organizations?

Guardian is the monthly retainer for individuals and households, with published tiers. Organizations covers corporate, family office, counsel, and federal work scoped on a written brief. If you are protecting one name or household, start with Guardian. If you are buying for a firm or office, start with Organizations.

What is the Guardian program?

A monthly retainer, not a one-time cleanup. Watch, Ward, and Aegis are cumulative tiers for exposure removal, device hardening, intelligence, and response. Line items live on the services page.

Can one file cover a family or a team?

Yes. Named clients, spouses, children, or an executive team can sit under one scope. Pricing follows headcount and depth, settled before signature.

02 / Privacy Discretion

Privacy.

How do you treat confidentiality?

Confidential from the first byte. Client names and engagement details stay private. Formal NDAs execute before substantive work, not after something sensitive has already been said.

Will you reference us to win the next client?

No. Not by name, sector, or story. Referrals come from clients who choose to speak for us. We do not trade on yours.

What happens to data when work ends?

Default is deletion. If you need retention for counsel or insurance, that is written into the letter. Otherwise we keep nothing when the file closes.

Can we stay on Signal or PGP?

Yes. Say so in the first line of your message. We answer with credentials, not a link to a portal.

03 / Pricing What it costs

Pricing.

Do you publish numbers?

Guardian tiers are listed on services as anchors. Project work and federal files are quoted after scope. You see a number before you commit.

What moves the quote?

Headcount, geography, how hostile the exposure looks, briefing cadence, and whether institutional ECLIPSE runs as a field kit, an install, or sweep-only. We do not pad with tools you did not ask for.

Retainer only, or projects too?

Both. Audits, training, OSINT profiles, and one-time sweeps live under Organizations. Many clients start with a project, then move to Guardian once they see the footprint.

Do you provide devices?

At Guardian Watch we harden the phones and laptops you already use. At Ward and above we supply new devices of your choice, preconfigured with privacy and security systems we monitor and maintain on the retainer. Aegis adds travel devices you choose for international trips. Models and quantities are scoped before work starts.

Is there a minimum term on Guardian?

Three months minimum. Brokers re-list and intelligence work needs time to show results. Shorter windows rarely match an honest engagement.

04 / Scope What is in the file

Scope.

What does a Guardian briefing cover?

Changes to your digital footprint, threats that matter to your profile, physical notes from the cycle, and standing adjustments. Watch is biannual, Ward quarterly, Aegis on call. Written for you and your counsel, not for slides.

What is ECLIPSE in one sentence?

Our counter-surveillance stack: RF, network, optical, and proximity sensing operated by our people on your site. For individual Guardian clients it is included with Aegis. Detail is on the ECLIPSE page.

What does ECLIPSE detect?

Clandestine transmitters, rogue wireless infrastructure, covert optics, and proximity trackers, reported with confidence stated. It is instrumentation paired with search, not a magic wand.

What are ECLIPSE detection limits?

Non-electronic bugs, encrypted payload content, powered-off devices with no signature, distant IMSI-catcher class gear, and endpoint malware. See limits on the ECLIPSE page.

Can I buy ECLIPSE without Guardian Aegis?

On an individual retainer, ECLIPSE is part of Aegis, not a standalone product. Corporate, family office, and federal sweeps are scoped under Organizations.

What work do you decline?

Offensive operations, harassment, anything that uses our access to target a third party, and work we cannot staff with integrity. Federal and B2B files that fit defensive TSCM, insider threat, and assessment work are routed separately on Organizations.
