Monthly protection for private life

Guardian is Darkveil's monthly program for individuals and households. Three tiers — Watch, Ward, and Aegis — cover online monitoring, new devices of your choice at Ward and above, and physical sweeps. Every engagement starts under NDA.

Program What Guardian is

One retainer instead of a stack of vendors

Most clients arrive with a broker-removal service, an IT firm, and maybe an investigator on speed dial. None of them share a file. Guardian puts online monitoring, new devices of your choice with security systems we monitor, and physical work under one operator team with published monthly tiers.

What people usually patch together

  • One-time data-broker opt-out with no follow-through
  • IT that hardens laptops but does not monitor them after setup
  • Help brought in only after something posts online
  • No one re-files when a people-search site lists you again

What Guardian covers

  • HORIZON monitoring on every tier
  • 600+ broker and facial-recognition removals maintained on schedule
  • Hardened devices at Watch; new devices of your choice, preconfigured and monitored at Ward and above
  • Encrypted operator line at Ward and above
  • Room sweeps and travel support at Aegis
Operations floor in low light.

Who runs the file

The operator who scopes the work does the work

You are not handed to another team after the first call. The same person handles removals, monitoring, and escalation on your encrypted channel when the tier includes it.

Compare tiers

Watch, Ward, and Aegis stack. Each tier includes everything below it. Most clients start at Ward once exposure is active. ECLIPSE sweeps ship with Aegis for individual retainers.

How an engagement opens

  1. 01

    Contact

    You reach out by introduction or through the contact form. The first conversation is short, encrypted, and under NDA. If we proceed, starting tier and scope go in writing.

  2. 02

    Baseline

    HORIZON maps what is already public about you online. We review devices and accounts, scope phones or laptops you want provisioned, and file removals against that picture.

  3. 03

    Run

    The retainer runs in the background: new devices of your choice at Ward+, security systems we monitor, broker re-filings, exposure monitoring, and your operator line.

  4. 04

    Review

    Briefings on your tier schedule. Watch is biannual, Ward quarterly, Aegis on call. Reports are written for you, not for an outside audience.

Boundaries What we decline

Defensive work only

If the brief crosses a line below, we say so on the first call and point you elsewhere when we can.

  • Executive protection details We coordinate with EP providers. We do not staff bodyguard details.
  • Surveillance of third parties We do not investigate or watch private individuals for a client.
  • Offensive operations Work stays defensive even when pressure is high.
  • Legal advice We work alongside counsel. We are not lawyers.
