Dark Web Scan
What you don’t know will hurt you. A Dark Web Scan can uncover if your data is for sale, and tell you if your personal or business data may be at risk.
Peel Back the Layers of the Onion
You may know the “Web,” a collection of accessible sites. But with this only accounting for about four percent of all pages, the rest of the internet is much less open. Then you have the “Deep Web,” the part of the internet that’s meant to be hidden—online banking, email clients, business applications—things meant to be protected by passwords.
But deep within the deep web lies another subset, the Dark Web, a vibrant marketplace where anonymity is preserved and criminality thrives. Featuring everything from drugs to white-label malware to black market organs to hitmen, the dark web’s number one product is user data.
Passwords for pennies, social security numbers for squat, company credentials for a couple bucks—data is dirt cheap. But the question you’re asking… “Is my data for sale?” Probably.
There are many ways to find out—many people just wait for a service to announce a data breach. But if you’re looking to know if your information is up for sale now or want a notification when it does, the best way to go is to utilize a Dark Web Scan.

Track the Unknowns: Why Get a Dark Web Scan?
If you want to protect your business from the dangers of the dark web, the first step is to know when the dark web is brushing up against them.
Know What of Yours Is Up for Sale
If someone breaks into your home, you can usually document what’s missing so the police can track it down. This isn’t as easy with data. A dark web scan can reveal what information may have been exposed to help you take actions to correct course.
Identify Weak Points
In addition to monitoring for data from your business, you should also monitor the dark web for references to your business, including names of employees. Monitor for references to specific software and hardware you use, as that chatter can reveal vulnerabilities and potential attacks.
Create a Plan of Attack
Once your data goes up for sale on the dark web, there’s little you can do to get it down. Paired with dark web monitoring and you can receive an alert when something suspicious happens, giving you the ability to create a plan of attack before any damage is done.
