What a LeakTrace forensic audit surfaces for a construction / trades account

The exposure categories we consistently observe across construction / trades. Each finding maps to a remediation path with severity ranking and step-by-step playbook.

Layer 01
Email authentication posture
DMARC / SPF / DKIM configuration on your business domain. The single most common wire-fraud enabler across the sector.
Layer 02
Credential exposure landscape
Employee credentials appearing in monitored breach databases. Cross-referenced across your platform stack and given severity ranking.
Layer 03
Infrastructure attack surface
Public-facing services, open ports, aging platforms, and unpatched infrastructure surfaced with reproducible verification for each finding.
Layer 04
Principal personal exposure
Owner and executive discoverability across data broker sources. The material threat actors use to construct impersonation attacks.

Different from every other cyber vendor pitching your inbox.

You are the target audience of a lot of cyber marketing right now. Most of it is either fear-based sales for a product that does not exist, or Fortune-500-priced enterprise engagement your firm cannot justify. LeakTrace was built specifically for the space in between.

What most cyber vendors sell you

Sector-tuned to construction / trades. Regulatory mapping specific to your vertical. Attack patterns specific to how your peers get targeted. Not a template.

LeakTrace was built by operators who watched too many small firms get quoted $80K enterprise engagements they could not justify, then get breached six months later. The gap between "enterprise cyber" and "your IT partner runs antivirus" is where every small business sits. That is the gap we exist to close.
