Proactive Dark Web Monitoring to Protect Your Business Credentials

Continuous monitoring of your domain across breach corpuses, paste sites, and dark web marketplaces. When something appears, we notify, reset, and investigate the root cause. Most clients have leaked credentials they don't know about.

What's included

Everything you need, none of the upsell.

Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.

Domain Watch

Continuous, not annual.

Your domain is monitored across breach corpuses 24/7. New exposures trigger an immediate notification and reset workflow.

Executive Watch

Targeted for high-value identities.

Optional enhanced monitoring for executives and finance staff. Their personal addresses are often the weak link.

Investigation

Find the root cause.

When a credential leaks, we trace where it came from. Reused passwords, third-party breach, malware. Then we close the path.

Reporting

Quarterly trends.

Number of exposures, sources, time-to-reset. Trend over time. Tracked alongside the rest of your security posture.

How it works

The order we work in.

A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.

Step 01

Enroll.

Add your domain and exec emails. Initial sweep returns historical exposures within hours.

Step 02

Alert.

Real-time notifications when new exposures appear. We work them on the same SLA as security incidents.

Step 03

Reset.

Forced password reset and MFA challenge through Conditional Access. Documented as evidence.

Step 04

Investigate.

Trace the source. Adjust controls so the same path doesn't open again next quarter.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in a dark web report?

A dark web report from Northstar IT identifies whether your business email addresses or employee credentials have been found in known data breaches or on hidden marketplaces. It provides a snapshot of your current exposure, listing the specific accounts and passwords that have been compromised. This allows our team to help you secure those accounts before they can be exploited by cyber criminals.

Can you remove my information from the dark web?

Once information is posted to the dark web, it is virtually impossible to remove it. However, dark web monitoring allows you to take immediate action. When we find your data, we help you change passwords, implement multi-factor authentication, and monitor for suspicious activity. Proactive monitoring is about defence and response rather than deletion, ensuring that leaked data becomes useless to attackers.

How often does dark web monitoring scan for threats?

Our monitoring service operates 24/7. Unlike a one-time report, continuous dark web monitoring services scan the depths of the internet around the clock. As soon as a new database of stolen credentials appears, our system checks it against your protected domain. This real-time alerting system ensures that your IT department or our helpdesk can respond to a breach in minutes, not months.

Is dark web monitoring necessary if we have a firewall?

Yes, because firewalls protect your internal network, but they cannot stop the use of credentials stolen from external sources. If an employee uses their work email to sign up for a third-party site that gets hacked, those credentials end up on the dark web. Dark web monitoring bridges this gap by watching for leaks that happen outside of your immediate technical control.
