Cybersecurity
Early notice when your organization's credentials show up where attackers trade them.
Our dark web monitoring service continuously watches dark web forums, breach databases, and credential markets for your organization's domains and email addresses. When exposed credentials turn up, you hear about it early, so passwords can be reset and access reviewed before an attacker uses them. It is built for regulated organizations where one reused password can open the door to client, patient, or contract data.
Monitoring is only useful if a finding leads to action.
Ongoing monitoring of dark web forums, breach databases, and credential markets for data tied to your organization.
When a work email address or password appears in breach data, the finding is flagged so it can be acted on quickly.
Affected passwords are reset, multi-factor authentication and recent sign-in activity are reviewed, and the user is told why.
Each finding and the action taken are recorded, which supports your risk assessment and the questions insurers ask about credential security.
Exposed credentials are a symptom. These controls reduce the damage they can do.
A stolen password alone should not be enough to sign in.
Teaches staff not to reuse work passwords and to spot phishing that harvests them.
Around-the-clock monitoring for suspicious sign-ins and activity if a credential is used.
Dark web monitoring is built for regulated organizations that need early warning before a leaked login turns into a breach.
This published case study shows the layered controls, including MFA and training, that a carrier required at renewal.
Your organization remains responsible for its own compliance program. We help you implement and document the technical and administrative work that program depends on. Nothing on this page is legal advice or a certification.
