AUTHORIZED EXPOSURE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Understand what your organization reveals publicly—within a clear scope.

For an organization with written authorization to assess its own public exposure, review search-visible professional information related to approved business roles and domains. Follow source terms, keep the scope tied to the organization, avoid collecting unrelated people or sensitive inferences, and restrict access to any identifiable results. Preserve source dates, verify findings with the relevant owner, and do not use the information for unauthorized targeting or contact.

Keep in mind

Public information can be outdated, incorrectly attributed, or subject to platform terms. Limit searches to an authorized purpose, minimize identifiable data, validate findings with the organization, and do not use results to target or contact individuals without separate approval and a lawful basis.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Record written scope and review purpose

Define the organization, role terms, sources, and boundaries before collecting results.

Follow source terms and privacy requirements

Use permitted public information and avoid unrelated personal profiling.

Limit identifiable result access and retention

Secure the report and set a review date for removing unnecessary details.

Require owner validation before action

Treat results as leads for internal review, not proof or authorization to contact.
