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. This isn't theoretical work—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 Vignali's background in military protective operations and insider threat detection translates directly to understanding how technology can be weaponized in abusive situations—and how to defend against it. The same skills that protect enterprises from sophisticated threats can protect vulnerable individuals from determined abusers.

Kenneth's digital forensics and safety work has been referenced in court cases around the country, providing critical evidence and expert insight in legal proceedings involving technology-facilitated abuse. His expertise has also supported survivors internationally, including cases in Europe, Canada, and Australia—demonstrating that digital safety knows no borders.

Our case work has led to the successful prosecution of abusers, stalkers, and other malicious actors who have targeted women and children. Through expert testimony and collaboration with defense lawyers and other agencies, we have also achieved successful defense outcomes—helping keep survivors out of jail when they were wrongfully accused or when the full context of their situation needed to be understood by the court.

Kenneth has been featured on podcasts including Slam The Gavel, where he discusses the intersection of cybersecurity, domestic violence, and digital safety, helping raise awareness about technology-facilitated abuse and empowering survivors with knowledge.

We regularly share insights from our case work on our blog, Family Sentinel, where we discuss digital safety strategies, case studies, and resources for survivors and advocates.
