Overview
UK companies regularly appear on ransomware leak sites and credential markets, often through a supplier. We monitor for your domains, executives and key suppliers, and turn each alert into a short, practical action such as a password reset, a takedown request or a conversation with a vendor.
Attackers buy and trade stolen credentials, access to company networks and leaked data long before a breach becomes public. Spotting your organisation in those places early gives you time to reset passwords, close access and prepare.
Our Threat Intelligence & Dark Web Monitoring service watches criminal forums, marketplaces, ransomware leak sites, paste sites and code repositories for your domains, brands, executives and key suppliers. Every relevant finding is validated by an analyst and delivered with a clear recommended action.
Intelligence also feeds our SOC detections and penetration testing scenarios, so defences reflect the threats actually targeting your sector.

Frequently asked questions
Is dark web monitoring legal?
Yes. We collect intelligence passively from sources where data is already exposed and never purchase stolen data or engage in illegal activity.
What happens when leaked credentials are found?
We validate the finding and recommend immediate actions such as password resets, session revocation and MFA review.
Can you monitor our suppliers too?
Yes. Supplier monitoring helps you spot third-party breaches that could affect you.
Can you support UK organisations from India?
Yes. All services are delivered remotely by our team in India. India is 4.5 hours ahead of UK time during British Summer Time and 5.5 hours ahead in winter, so our working day overlaps with yours every morning and afternoon. Testing windows and escalation contacts are agreed around your UK schedule, and 24/7 services run around the clock.
Where is our data processed?
Engagement data is handled by our team in India under NDA, with encrypted storage, least-privilege access and secure deletion at the end of the agreed retention period. We can sign a data processing agreement using the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses where personal data is involved.
