Born Between Generals, LLC · the perimeter, for your family

Close the paths attackers actually use.

A prevention-first edge for your whole family. Every step names the exact threat it closes — and we’ll never tell you you’re “safe.” It all runs here, in your browser. Nothing you enter leaves this device.

Map your surface

Four honest questions. They tailor what Perimeter shows you. Your answers never leave this browser — there's no account and no server to send them to.

Do you reuse the same password across more than one site?
Do your important accounts rely on text-message (SMS) codes for login?
Is your credit frozen at all three bureaus?
Are there children under 18 in your household?

Hardening playbook

Every action names the exact threat it closes. You do each one yourself — Perimeter never touches your accounts. Check an item when it's done to close that path on your shield.

Tier 1 — Close these first
Highest leverage. These shut the doors attackers use most.
Put phishing-resistant 2FA on your email account
Closes: Account takeover of your email — the master key attackers use to reset every other account you own.
Stop reusing passwords — move to unique passwords in a manager
Closes: Credential stuffing — one leaked password from any site being replayed across all your accounts.
Lock your phone number with a carrier port-out PIN
Closes: SIM-swap — an attacker moving your number to their device to steal SMS codes and reset your accounts.
Tier 2 — Then these
Real paths, slightly narrower. Strong moves once Tier 1 is done.
Freeze your own credit at all three bureaus
Closes: New-account fraud — someone opening loans or cards in your name. A freeze blocks new credit pulls cold.
Audit the recovery options on your top accounts
Closes: Backdoor takeover — an attacker resetting your account through a stale phone number, old email, or weak security question.
Find where your home address and phone are publicly listed
Closes: Doxxing and targeting — people-search sites handing your address and relatives to anyone, including a scammer building a believable story.
Tier 3 — Good hygiene
Lower urgency, still worth doing. Quiet, durable protection.
Turn on automatic security updates on your devices
Closes: Exploits of known, already-patched vulnerabilities — the kind that only work because a device is months behind.
Set up a real backup so ransomware can't hold you hostage
Closes: Ransomware and device loss — losing your photos, documents, and records to encryption or a dead drive.

Paid tiers add the things that take ongoing work on our side — monitoring, child-identity protection, and a hand when something goes wrong. We never gate the basics, and we never tell anyone they're “safe.”

Protect a child's identity

We protect your child's identity. We never watch your child. Perimeter freezes a child's credit, watches for their data in breaches, and hands control to the teen at 16. It does not — and never will — read their messages, track their location, or monitor their behavior. Protecting a child's identity and surveilling a child are opposite things, and we only do the first.

Freeze your child's credit at all three bureaus
Closes: Synthetic identity fraud — a criminal pairing your child's untouched SSN with a fake name to open credit that won't surface for years.

Children are the top synthetic-ID target precisely because no one checks a 7-year-old's credit. A freeze means there's nothing to open. Each bureau's minor flow is linked below.

Watch for your child's data in breaches
Closes: Quiet exposure — your child's SSN or records leaking in a school, pediatric, or app breach and circulating unnoticed.

This reuses Perimeter's exposure layer. Today it watches the seam and is honest that live alerts arrive once feeds are licensed. Only hashed selectors ever leave the device.

Hand control to your teen at 16
Closes: Protection curdling into surveillance — a parent keeping the keys past the point of consent.

Identity protection is a gift you give, not a leash you hold. At 16 the teen takes over their own freezes and selectors.

Freeze a minor’s credit (free, by bureau)

Perimeter links you to each bureau’s own flow — it never files on your behalf.

Equifax
For a minor, Equifax may require mailing proof (the child's birth certificate and your ID). Free.
Experian
Experian's minor freeze is handled by mail with proof of identity and guardianship. Free.
TransUnion
TransUnion offers a 'Protected Consumer' freeze for minors, by mail. Free.

After a breach

If something already happened, start here. These are step-by-step playbooks — information, not legal advice. Where it matters, they route you to the official source.

Someone took over one of my accounts+
  1. From a device you trust, use the provider's “forgot password” flow to regain access, then change the password to a new unique one.
  2. Turn on app-based 2FA or a passkey immediately so they can't get back in.
  3. Review recovery email/phone, connected apps, and forwarding rules — attackers add a hidden forward to keep reading your mail.
  4. Check anything that account could reset (bank, other email) and secure those next.
Someone is using my identity+
  1. Go to IdentityTheft.gov — it builds your FTC report and a personal recovery plan.
  2. Freeze your credit at all three bureaus (free) to stop new accounts.
  3. Place a fraud alert and dispute any accounts or charges you don't recognize.
  4. Keep a dated log of every call and letter — you'll need it for disputes.
Start at IdentityTheft.gov →
I sent money in a scam+
  1. Contact your bank or the payment app right now and ask them to recall/stop the transfer — speed matters most.
  2. For gift cards, call the card brand's fraud line; some funds can be frozen if reported fast.
  3. Report to ReportFraud.ftc.gov and your local police (you may need the report for your bank).
  4. Do not send more money to “recover” the first payment — that's the follow-on scam.
Report at ReportFraud.ftc.gov →
My private information was posted publicly+
  1. Screenshot and save everything (URLs included) before requesting removal.
  2. Use the platform's privacy/abuse reporting flow to request takedown.
  3. Search your name to find people-search copies and file each site's opt-out.
  4. If you feel physically unsafe, contact local police and consider the resources below.
Someone shared — or is threatening to share — an intimate image+
  1. Don't pay and don't send more. Save what you can — usernames, messages, links — without replying or engaging. Paying invites more demands.
  2. If you're an adult: create a case at StopNCII.org. It fingerprints the image on your own device and shares only the hash, so partner platforms can block it — the picture never leaves your hands.
  3. If anyone in the image is under 18: use NCMEC's Take It Down (takeitdown.ncmec.org) to get it removed, and report sextortion to the FBI at IC3.gov. This is the only path — Perimeter never views, stores, or handles the image itself.
  4. Tell someone you trust. This is a crime committed against you — not something you caused.

Our honest promise

Perimeter is one layer in a bigger net — not the whole net. Identity crime, scams, and abuse can be genuinely distressing, and some things need a real person, not an app. We’ll always hand you to the people whose job it is. If you’re in immediate danger, call 911.

How this works.

The Family Edge runs entirely in your browser — no account, no analytics. Your answers and checkmarks are never sent anywhere; close the tab and they’re gone. The one exception is ScamScan: it analyzes what you paste on your device and never retains it. We tell you that plainly on the page.

What we won't claim.

We will never tell you that you’re “safe.” Security isn’t a finish line; it’s a set of specific paths, each of which you can close. We don’t auto-rotate your passwords, auto-patch your devices, or promise to “beat the bank.” And in the family section, we protect a child’s identity — we never watch your child.

Not legal or financial advice.

The recovery steps are information to help you act, not legal advice. For identity theft, the authoritative source is IdentityTheft.gov. For anything consequential, talk to qualified counsel.
