The controls established in CZ1 (browser isolation, VPN, persona hygiene) protect the work you do from this point forward. They cannot retract data already in circulation. Before those controls have any value, you need to know what is already out: the addresses, handles, associations, breach records and archived pages an adversary will find in the first twenty minutes of looking.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this tutorial you will be able to:
Map your own digital footprint across search engines, data brokers and breach databases using the same tools applied to investigation subjects
Classify each exposure as recoverable or unrecoverable and prioritise remediation accordingly
Produce an adversary summary and a remediation list to documented, auditable standard
Run a six-month follow-up audit against your own baseline to detect new exposures
