Using our expertise to protect those who need it most

Supporting Domestic Violence Survivors

At SPMA, we believe cybersecurity expertise should serve those who need protection most. Our team dedicates time and resources to helping domestic violence survivors regain control of their digital lives and personal safety.

Device Security

We help survivors secure their phones, laptops, and tablets from stalkerware, spyware, and unauthorized access. This includes removing tracking software, changing compromised accounts, and setting up secure communications.

Digital Footprint Reviews

We conduct thorough assessments of survivors' online presence to identify exposed personal information, location data, and privacy vulnerabilities that could put them at risk.

Digital Footprint Cleanup

We help remove personal information from data broker sites, social media, and public records. This reduces the ability of abusers to track or locate survivors through online searches.

Digital Safety Education

We provide education on secure communication practices, privacy settings, account security, and recognizing technology-facilitated abuse. Knowledge is the foundation of digital safety.

Real-World Impact

Our team has worked directly with domestic violence survivors and advocacy organizations to provide hands-on digital safety support. We've helped real people secure their devices, clean up their digital presence, and establish safe communication channels when their physical safety depended on it.

Kenneth's background in military protective operations and insider threat detection translates directly to understanding how technology can be weaponized in abusive situations. His digital forensics and safety work has been referenced in court cases across the country - and internationally in cases in Europe, Canada, and Australia. This work has contributed to successful prosecution of abusers and stalkers, and through expert testimony, to successful defense outcomes for survivors who were wrongfully accused.

Kenneth has been featured on podcasts including Slam The Gavel and shares insights on our blog, Family Sentinel, covering digital safety strategies, case studies, and resources for survivors and advocates.
