🌑 Dark Web Monitoring
Your Passwords Are
Already for Sale.
Do You Know It?
The average business has compromised credentials on the dark web for 197 days before anyone knows. Securafy monitors over 35 billion breached records 24/7 — alerting you the moment your data appears, before attackers can use it.
The Threat You Can't See
What Actually Happens When You Get Breached
The dark web is a hidden layer of the internet — invisible to normal browsers — where stolen data is bought, sold, and traded. Your employees' email addresses and passwords from one breach become the keys to your bank accounts, email systems, and business applications.
Step 1 — The Breach
A third-party service your employee uses — LinkedIn, Dropbox, Adobe, a payroll vendor — gets hacked. Your employee's email and password are stolen. You don't know it yet.
Step 2 — The Dark Web
Within hours, those credentials are posted on dark web forums and criminal marketplaces. Attackers buy lists of thousands of breached passwords for as little as $5 and begin testing them against business targets.
Step 3 — Credential Stuffing
Because people reuse passwords, attackers try the stolen credentials on Microsoft 365, your banking portal, your VPN. One match gives them full access — email, files, wire transfers, client data.
The critical insight: 80% of all data breaches involve stolen or weak credentials (Verizon DBIR). The breach that takes down your business often started with a password stolen from a completely unrelated site — months ago.
How We Do It
Powered by Kaseya Dark Web ID
Securafy uses Kaseya's Dark Web ID — one of the most comprehensive dark web intelligence platforms available. It continuously scans criminal forums, black market sites, private hacker chat networks, and billions of data records that never surface in public breach databases.
When your business domain or employee credentials appear in any monitored source, our team receives an instant alert — and so do you. We don't just notify you — we walk you through exactly what was exposed and what to do about it.
Compliance Impact
Required or Expected Under These Frameworks
Dark web monitoring is no longer optional — it's expected by auditors, insurers, and regulators across virtually every major compliance framework your clients and contracts may require.
Most cyber insurers now directly ask whether you have credential monitoring. Saying no increases premiums — or results in denial. Many policies require it for ransomware coverage.
HIPAA's Security Rule requires risk analysis and safeguards for all ePHI access points — including credentials. A compromised employee login that leads to a PHI breach is a reportable violation.
CMMC requires continuous monitoring and incident response capabilities. Dark web monitoring directly supports the Incident Response and Identification domains required for Level 2 certification.
Under the Identify and Detect functions of NIST CSF 2.0, organizations must maintain awareness of threats targeting their credentials and infrastructure — including dark web exposure.
Financial firms and auto dealers under the FTC Safeguards Rule must implement continuous monitoring of information systems — which includes credential breach detection.
Ohio's Data Protection Act provides legal safe harbor for businesses that implement a cybersecurity program. Credential monitoring is a documented control that strengthens your safe harbor claim.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is dark web monitoring? +
Dark web monitoring is a continuous scanning service that searches criminal forums, marketplaces, and data dumps on the dark web for your business's email addresses, passwords, and credentials. When a match is found, you receive an immediate alert so you can change compromised passwords before attackers can use them.
How is this different from HaveIBeenPwned? +
HaveIBeenPwned is a public service that only covers publicly disclosed breaches — often months after the fact. Kaseya Dark Web ID monitors private criminal forums, Telegram channels, and private marketplaces that never surface publicly. It also provides real-time alerts rather than requiring you to manually check a website.
How long does it take for stolen credentials to be used? +
Research shows stolen credentials are typically used within hours to days of appearing on the dark web. The average time between a breach and its public disclosure is 197 days — meaning your credentials can be circulating on criminal forums for months without your knowledge.
What happens when a breach is detected? +
You and our SOC team receive an immediate alert identifying exactly which credential was found, where it was found, and what data was exposed. We provide specific remediation steps — typically forcing a password reset on the affected account and checking for any unauthorized access. For Comply-CARE clients, we also generate documentation for your compliance records.
Is dark web monitoring required for cyber insurance? +
Most major cyber insurers now directly ask about credential monitoring on their applications. Many require it for ransomware coverage. Demonstrating that you have active dark web monitoring in place can reduce your premium and make you a more favorable risk in underwriting.
