What’s in the guide?

In Outside the Perimeter, you’ll find:

Where attacks on your brand and ad accounts actually land

Why your security stack can't see these accounts

A control-by-control map of NIST, ISO 27001 and SOC 2

How the SEC's disclosure rule reaches brand accounts

A 12-step, 30-day plan for Q4 2026

Problem

Why are security leaders starting to take social and ad accounts seriously?

Brands find only 9% of the fake accounts impersonating them on their own.
A hijacked ad account comes with no chargeback, and no spending limit the attacker can't change.
Former staff and agencies can keep access for years, because two major ad platforms support neither SSO nor SCIM.
The SEC's disclosure rule already reaches brand accounts, and nobody has had to file on one yet.
Tools documented this year steal the two-factor codes and login sessions behind business ad accounts, without triggering an alert.
In one documented case, a company was billed about $1.5 million in two days on an ad account with a daily budget of under $200.

Spikerz protects your brand

Spikerz brings your social and ad accounts under the same monitoring, access control and audit trail as every other business system.

Account and access control

See who has access to every social and ad account, remove former staff and agencies in one place, and get alerted to suspicious logins in real time.

Jamie Carter has 83% completed protection with LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube icons plus three more. Taylor Reed is marked Protected with icons for X, Facebook, Instagram plus one more. Alexis Monroe and Morgan Ellis both have 37% protection completed with YouTube, Facebook, TikTok icons plus nine more. A notification overlay highlights Jamie Carter as a detected former team member with 9 permissions to be revoked to prevent unauthorized access, with options to revoke permissions or view details.

Impersonator takedown

Find fake accounts posing as your brand and executives across social and video platforms, and have them removed before they reach your customers.

Built into your security stack

Every login, permission change and threat across your social and ad accounts is logged in a full audit trail, and alerts go straight to Slack or your SIEM, including Splunk and Google Chronicle.
