Dark web monitoring
A CLEAR PURPOSE
Dark web monitoring
Stolen or leaked account details can create risk long after the original breach. A scoped monitoring service can help flag potential exposure relating to agreed business domains and identities. We help you understand what an alert means, validate its relevance and decide what action is appropriate.
For organisations that want additional visibility into potential credential exposure alongside strong access controls and multi-factor authentication.

Can monitoring cover the entire dark web?
No. Visibility depends on the selected provider and its data sources. No service can guarantee discovery of every exposure or breach.
Does an alert prove an account is compromised now?
No. Data may be old, duplicated or inaccurate. Alerts need validation and should be assessed alongside account activity and other evidence.
Will you remove leaked information?
Removal is not guaranteed and is not included unless explicitly agreed. The immediate priority is assessing risk and protecting affected accounts.
Is monitoring included in managed IT?
Only where listed in your agreed package. We specify coverage, alert handling, reporting and any third-party licensing costs in the proposal.
