Scope Creep

The Deception That Obscures the Take

THE TAKE

They take more than you agreed to give.

//TECHNICAL_DESCRIPTION

Data used for purposes beyond stated scope. The vendor's DPA says they process data for analytics, but their scripts also feed identity resolution networks, retargeting platforms, and data broker syncs. The contract is a subset of reality.

//ESCALATION_CONTEXT

How This Escalates BTI-C Findings

Escalates any BTI-C data collection finding. If the vendor is authorized for C07 (Session Recording) but also does C14 (Identity Resolution), the scope creep transforms authorized collection into unauthorized exfiltration.
