DepartureShield™

Forensic protection built
for the moment an executive
walks out the door.

Every departure carries risk for the company losing the executive and for the executive leaving. DepartureShield is the only forensic service built for both sides. Know who you are and choose your track.

For Companies

Corporate
Protection

Your executive resigned. Now you need to know what left with them. Client lists, strategic documents, trade secrets. Standard IT offboarding does not catch it and general counsel cannot act without evidence. DepartureShield gives you a forensic record before the window closes.

Castle Keep

Your team has never practiced
the threat most likely
to hit you.

Every company runs ransomware tabletops. Nobody is practicing what happens when a trusted executive walks out the door with your data. Castle Keep is the only tabletop exercise program built specifically around executive departure risk and insider threat. The human threat vector that no technology solution fully stops.

The Gap No One Is Practicing

Your CFO resigns Friday. By Monday, HR is confused, IT is reactive, Legal is asking questions no one can answer, and nobody knows if company data left with them. Your organization has no playbook for this. Most do not. Castle Keep builds one before you need it.

Four scenarios. One unifying theme: the trusted insider.

Castle Keep exercises are built around the departure and insider threat scenarios your leadership has never sat in a room and practiced. Facilitated by former law enforcement and forensic investigators who have worked these cases for real.

01
Executive Departure with Suspected Data Exfiltration A C-suite executive resigns with two weeks notice. IT flags unusual file transfers in the 30 days prior. Tests coordination between HR, Legal, Security, and the CEO and whether your organization can preserve evidence before it disappears.
02
Insider Threat: Trusted Employee to Competitor A senior sales leader accepts an offer from a direct competitor and resigns. Client lists, pricing data, and strategic documents are missing. Tests non-compete enforcement readiness, forensic response speed, and legal counsel coordination.
03
Contractor Access Abuse Discovered Post-Departure A terminated contractor retained access to cloud systems for 60 days post-departure. Sensitive data was accessed. Tests IT governance gaps, legal notification obligations, and litigation hold readiness.
04
Team Poaching and Mass Departure Three key employees resign simultaneously and join a competitor. Evidence suggests coordinated planning during employment. Tests board communication, trade secret preservation, and the window for injunctive relief.

Who Participates

The Full Response Team, Not Just IT

Castle Keep is designed for the people who actually make decisions when this happens: CEO, General Counsel, CHRO, CISO, CFO, and Communications. Departure and insider threat incidents are leadership decisions, not technical ones.

Facilitation

Former Law Enforcement. Real Case Experience.

Every Castle Keep exercise is facilitated by professionals who have investigated actual departure and insider threat cases. They know how evidence degrades, how litigation unfolds, and where organizations fail under pressure. That experience shapes every inject.

Deliverable

Departure Readiness Report

Every exercise concludes with a formal Departure Readiness Report documenting gaps identified, decisions that broke down, and specific remediation steps for Legal, HR, IT, and leadership. Attorney-ready. Board-presentable.

Castle Keep + DepartureShield

Castle Keep exercises consistently reveal the same gap: organizations have no forensic capability in place when a departure turns adversarial. DepartureShield closes that gap. Companies that complete a Castle Keep exercise are first in line to deploy DepartureShield protection.
