DATA FLOW INVESTIGATOR
What I Investigate
Who is tracking your visitors without consent?
Social pixels, ad trackers, analytics that share with parent companies, they load without asking. Most consent banners do not block them.
Fingerprinting: Canvas, WebGL, and audio fingerprints create an invisible, un-deletable device ID. No consent. No disclosure. No way to opt out.
What data is leaking to third parties?
Emails. Phone numbers. Health information. What people type into forms before they click submit. I found passwords unencrypted, login credentials in a govt URL;
If I can see them, who else can?
Can the data be exploited?
A vulnerability in a trusted integration. A breach in a shared CRM. One adversary, one exploit, hundreds of organizations fall at once.
Is there a single point of failure?
Your CRM talks to your email tool. Your email tool shares with ad networks. Your apps talk to each other. When one falls, they all fall. I map the connections. I show you where to cut the line.
