Kanary is the digital and physical attack surface management platform, for people. The platform builds a threat model for every individual, finds and mitigates active exposures, and delivers audit-ready intelligence. Kanary powers the protection of viral celebrities, non-profit leaders, grant makers, politicians, investors, corporate executives, board members, and their families and colleagues. The company is U.S. based, female founded, YC backed and SOC 2 certified.

Kanary was founded in Chicago, IL, by Rachel Vrabec. Her and the early team were working closely with the 2016 presidential campaigns, supporting software systems and data science research. The security breaches and personal privacy violations of the time like Cambridge Analytica and the DNC hack inspired the beginnings of the company. After receiving a grant from Y Combinator, we launched Kanary in 2020 and participated in Mozilla’s accelerator in 2021. In 2022, we raised a small seed investment and have been growing the company sustainably since. The core team manages all aspects of the service, support, and technology. We collaborate directly with members on our Reddit and via email: [email protected].

Kanary builds a threat model unique to each individual, finds top threat exposures across search engines, data brokers, social media, and AI/LLMs, and removes or mitigates the ones that matter most, not just the easy ones. We also help you strengthen account settings to stop new leaks, and assist with response and recovery when an incident occurs. Kanary’s proprietary technology powers every member’s experience, and saves members hours of tedious research and work.

Core members get managed removals and expert support via escalation. Advanced members get full-coverage monitoring, faster scans, and priority support, including research on active incidents. Need coverage for a team of five or more? Team gives you shared visibility, admin controls, and a mix of Core and Advanced seats.

We add new sites constantly, through research, member suggestions, and automated crawling, so we stay ahead of doxxing, impersonation, physical intimidation and phishing threats.

All members can view their dashboard and manage settings on the web. Kanary also offers a mobile app via iOS and Android for quick review of results and escalations at your fingertips.

Core and Advanced are our two coverage tiers, both billed monthly or annually. Core covers your highest-traffic exposures across search engines and data brokers. Advanced adds full-coverage monitoring and mitigation, including social media (LinkedIn, X, YouTube) and AI/LLMs, plus faster scans and priority support. Team is how you deploy either tier across an organization: five seat minimum, with unlimited free admin accounts and the option to select a mix of Core and Advanced seats.

Kanary works best if you are a US resident or citizen, or have a US work or residential address. Our team focuses on protecting you from risks associated with US-based social media companies, search engines, and data brokers. We've recently expanded our service to UK-based users and are continuing to expand coverage for international members in certain cases. If you live or work outside of the US and UK, let us know how Kanary can help: [email protected]

Most security tools protect your accounts, devices and networks. Kanary is focused on reducing the human attack surface that puts people and organizations at risk. Kanary fills critical human intelligence gaps in digital protection, identity, executive protection, pen-testing, privacy and physical safety programs. Check out our go-to privacy stack.

Kanary is purpose-built for people who require an online presence and need to manage doxxing, impersonation, or physical risk. We start with an individual’s unique risk profile, mitigate the exposures most likely to escalate first, and account for how threats shift based on indicators like gender, identity, or profession. Kanary also has the broadest coverage across the data broker ecosystem, social media platforms, search engines and AI/LLMs. See how we compare.
