DARK WEB SCANS
Dark Web scans look for exposed credentials and domain data in sources that are not visible through ordinary search. The results help you decide which accounts, passwords or domains need review.
Choose a one-time or recurring scan and use the findings to plan follow-up actions.
DARK WEB SCANS
The Internet has a public-facing layer, often called the clear web, and less visible services known as the Dark Web. Any online account can leave a digital footprint through addresses, usernames, passwords and other data.
Reviewing that footprint can show where information may have appeared so you can change credentials, close unused accounts or investigate a domain.

COMPANY SECRETS ON THE DARK WEB
A trade secret is something that a company or organization keeps secret, usually because it could give it an advantage over competitors. For example, a company has a new product in development and doesn’t want anyone to know about it until it’s ready for release. Or a company has a secret formula for making its products and doesn’t want anyone else to know how to make it. However, company emails regularly become a gateway for unwanted visitors and company secrets leak unnoticed as company emails are compromised, either because they are also used for personal use or because the same password is used for multiple emails or logins. The company secrets then end up on the dark web at best, where there is a rather smaller number of viewers, or at worst on the clear web, where significantly more viewers have access.
Our dark web scan also takes into account common platforms on the clear web, where company secrets are regularly published by unauthorized third parties.

STOLEN CREDENTIALS ON THE DARK WEB
If you have a credential, it means you have permission to do something. For example, with a library card, you can check out books from the library. If someone steals your credentials, they have taken your permission to do something without asking. The unauthorized person could use your library card to check out books and not return them. If someone has your username and password, they can log into your account and do things that look like they are you. This is called stealing your credentials.
Companies fear for their reputation if their systems are infiltrated and data is leaked. As a result, companies tend to disclose as little as possible about hacks, even though they may be required by law and regulation to be more transparent. It therefore happens time and again that companies do not fulfill their duty to inform and their customer data circulates on the dark web. At the same time, credentials are a highly coveted commodity on the dark web. If you have purchased a subscription to our Dark Web Scan service, you will be notified as soon as your credentials are traded on the Dark Web.
ADVANTAGES OF DARK WEB SCANS

RISK REDUCTION
What is the Dark Web?
The Dark Web is a part of the Internet where people can buy and sell illegal things. Fraudsters and online attackers get stolen credentials, bank account access, hacking tools and bots on this marketplace and can trade them.
What is a Dark Web Scan?
What are the benefits of a dark web scan?
A scan shows whether selected data appears in the available sources at the time of checking. Repeated scans can surface new findings earlier where the service supports them; time and cost effects depend on scope and response.
What data is traded on the dark web?
Here are some common types of data you can find on the dark web. In most cases, the interconnectedness of the data makes it interesting for criminals.
- Personal health data
- Access data including passwords
- Technical data and source codes
- Names, birthdays and answers to security questions
- E-mail addresses
- Financial data such as bank account numbers and credit cards
- Company information
Which of my data can I search for in a Dark Web Scan?
Our Dark Web Scan includes:
- Domain names
- Persons (first and last names, email addresses)
- Keywords
- Credit card numbers
- IP addresses
- Complex search terms
Is one scan enough or should I repeat it?
A single scan is a snapshot. Whether and how often to repeat checks depends on the data, risk and rate of change; compare the current options for recurring scans.
Why does a dark web scan save me time and money?
A compromised access account of a company’s employee easily and often unnoticed becomes a gateway for hackers. The consequential damage caused by the loss of confidential company or customer data, as well as the loss of reputation and possible fines from the data protection authorities, are usually enormous. Finding the gateway as well as repairing the damage caused is comparable to extensive remediation after significant long-lasting water damage. The damage can easily eat away at your assets, and the cost to fix it can be difficult to shoulder in terms of time and money.
What can I do to prevent my data from being traded on the dark web in the first place?
This question cannot be answered in one sentence or paragraph, but we would be very happy to talk.
