How fast are takedowns?
Median time-to-takedown across 2025 engagements: phishing domains 18 hours, fake mobile apps 36 hours, impersonation social profiles 24 hours. Times vary by registrar and platform cooperation.
What sources do you monitor?
Surface web, paste sites, Telegram, Discord, dark-web markets and forums, breach corpora, certificate transparency logs, app stores and major social platforms.
How is this different from a DRP tool we could buy?
Tools generate alerts; we deliver outcomes. Our service includes 24×7 triage, deduplication, takedown execution and quarterly tuning — not just a dashboard.
Can you protect executives and VIPs?
Yes — executive monitoring covers doxxing, impersonation, family-name exposure and credential leaks. Output integrates with corporate and personal security teams.
What is the typical price point?
From USD 2,500/month for SME footprints up to enterprise programmes covering multiple brands, geographies and executives. Fixed monthly fee — no per-takedown billing.
Will we get false positives?
Every alert is human-triaged before it reaches you. Our 2025 false-positive rate to client inbox was under 4%.
How experienced is the team that will actually deliver Brand Protection & Digital Risk Monitoring?
Every engagement is led by a partner or principal with at least 12 years in cybersecurity and supported by certified consultants (CISA, CISM, CISSP, CIPP/E, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, ISO 42001 Lead Implementer, OSCP, CREST). You meet the actual delivery team before contracts are signed.
How do you handle confidentiality and data residency?
All client data stays within the regions you authorise. NDAs are signed before scoping calls, and we offer fully on-premise delivery for sensitive engagements. For UAE and KSA clients, evidence remains in-country by default.
Can MAST work alongside our existing Big 4 auditor?
Yes. We routinely collaborate with EY, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, BDO and Grant Thornton as your implementation partner while they retain audit independence. Roles are agreed upfront in writing to preserve auditor independence rules.
Do you offer multi-year continuous compliance?
Yes — our Managed Compliance Service operates the programme on a monthly subscription, covering control monitoring, evidence collection, internal audit and recertification across every framework in scope.
How is success measured?
Success criteria are agreed in the engagement charter — typically a passed certification or regulator submission, an audit-ready evidence repository, trained control owners and a 12-month continuous-improvement plan.
