The problem it solves

Staying on top of new data breaches means checking security feeds manually, and it's easy to miss something that affects your customers or vendors. You need to know fast, not after the fact.

Who it fits

A security team, compliance officer, or business that needs to track publicly reported data breaches.

How it works

  1. Every morning, the system checks for the latest reported data breach
  2. It compares the breach against previously logged entries
  3. New or updated breaches are added to a tracking spreadsheet
  4. A formatted email alert with the breach details is sent to you
What you get

Breaches you learn about first

You get an email the moment a new data breach is reported, so you can act before customers or regulators bring it to your attention.

What you get

A daily email alert and an updated spreadsheet log of new data breaches.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
