Abstract

An identity scanner monitors information regarding a target individual on various data sources, such as social networking sites. The information is analyzed to identify risk and/or reward factors that are indicative of risk levels associated with the target's privacy, reputation, safety, health, and/or other attributes. Various information regarding the identified risks and/or reward factors identified may be provided to a monitoring individual (e.g., a guardian of the target individual) in various customizable manners and mediums.
