Pete Herzog — CEO
Digital Investigator & Evidence Specialist | High-Stakes Asset Recovery | Executive Protection | Co-Founder, ISECOM & OSSTMM I solve the "impossible" technical problems that arise in high-stakes legal, personal, and financial crises. With over 30 years in the trenches of cybersecurity from co-founding ISECOM and creating the OSSTMM to pioneering AI security at Urvin.ai, I have spent my career defining the laws of system persistence and defense. Today, I apply those universal principles to the most sensitive, discrete cases for high-net-worth individuals, executives, and law firms. I am the "tech magician" hired when standard security measures fail. Whether it is uncovering an anonymous attacker, recovering lost crypto assets, or finding the "dirt" hidden deep within evidence, I provide the results that legal teams and private clients require but cannot find elsewhere. Core Capabilities for Law Firms & HNWIs: Digital Forensics & Evidence Collection: Forensic-grade recovery of electronic evidence with a strict chain of custody for court cases at scale. Media Restoration & Analysis: Advanced "clean-up" of audio and photos to reveal critical details or unmask deepfakes. Asset & Crypto Recovery: Tracking and recovering assets lost to fraud, scams, or complex digital theft. Counter-Infiltration & Unmasking: Hunting down anonymous attackers, scammers, and extortionists through advanced OSINT and infiltration techniques. Discrete Executive Protection: Specialized digital "sweeps," reputation management, and containment of cyber-extortion or blackmail. I operate with a philosophy of "Hack everything, harm none," combined with the absolute discretion required for high-profile cases. When the opposition thinks they've covered their tracks, I find what they missed. Let’s discuss your case. Discretion is guaranteed.
