360 Privacy and Hetherington Group Forge Alliance to Redefine Digital Executive Protection

360 Privacy and the Hetherington Group (Hg) have announced a strategic partnership that merges high-tech automation with elite investigative intelligence. The collaboration will deliver a fortified shield of privacy, threat detection, and personal data defense to high-profile individuals navigating an increasingly hostile digital environment.

The two companies are combining forces at a critical inflection point. With the explosion of online data brokers, the deep web, and persistent reputational threats, executives and high-net-worth individuals are grappling with a fragmented security ecosystem that too often overlooks the human factor in digital risk.

360 Privacy, known for its cutting-edge platform that spans PII removal, deep web monitoring, and threat surface minimization, will now be bolstered by Hg’s veteran intelligence expertise and open-source intelligence (OSINT) capabilities. For nearly 30 years, Hg has been the go-to firm for cyber investigations, enterprise due diligence, and reputation intelligence.

“We are proud to partner with Hg to deliver even greater value to our joint clients,” said Adam Jackson, co-founder and CEO of 360 Privacy. “Cynthia and team have built one of the best brands in the industry, leveraging their expertise in the realms of background and cyber investigations, enterprise-level due diligence, and intellectual property risk monitoring, all with the white glove experience our clients expect. Together, we will provide a new level of elite security for those with assets to protect.”

At the core of this partnership is a belief that traditional cybersecurity alone is no longer sufficient. Today’s threat landscape targets the person as much as the perimeter. The alliance brings together 360 Privacy’s scalable, tech-driven defense mechanisms — such as 360 Delete, which continuously wipes PII from hundreds of data broker sites — and Hg’s forensic approach to mapping digital vulnerabilities and identifying threats in real-time.

“In today’s dynamic digital landscape, true protection requires more than a single line of defense,” said Cynthia Hetherington, founder and CEO of Hetherington Group. “Partnering with 360 Privacy allows us to combine our investigative and intelligence expertise with their innovative platform, giving clients unmatched digital resilience. This alliance raises the bar for executive protection.”

For clients, the implications are significant. The integrated solution spans digital identity scrubbing, dark web surveillance, real-time risk monitoring, and comprehensive due diligence. Whether protecting a Fortune 50 CEO, an NFL team owner, or the family of a public figure, the partnership delivers a security perimeter that is both deep and wide — automated for scale, and personal in execution.

The alliance also reflects a growing industry trend: the convergence of cybersecurity, physical security, and private intelligence into a unified approach to digital risk. By embedding investigative rigor directly into an automated tech stack, the partnership aims to reduce latency in threat detection and provide a proactive posture that can evolve with attackers.

Clients will be able to access the joint services through either company, simplifying procurement and ensuring seamless integration into existing risk management frameworks.

This collaboration is not just a business alliance — it’s a signal to the market. The executive protection industry is entering a new era, where reputations, identities, and families are shielded not just by firewalls, but by forensic precision, algorithmic speed, and a human understanding of how data can be used to do harm.

As digital footprints expand and threat actors grow more sophisticated, the need for next-generation privacy protection has never been more urgent. With this partnership, 360 Privacy and Hetherington Group are answering that call — and setting a new industry standard while doing so.
