Dark Web Monitoring
Continuous coverage of dark-web forums, markets, and leak sites
What this engagement covers
The service
Continuous monitoring of criminal forums, ransomware leak sites, credential dumps, and closed communities for mentions of your organization, employees, and data.
What we test
Leaked credentials, ransomware victim listings, combolists, stealer logs, forum mentions, private Telegram channels, and access broker listings targeting your assets.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting Dark Web Monitoring with no internal credentials, source code, or architecture documentation. Assesses perimeter exposure, unauthenticated attack paths, and edge resilience.
Gray Box Assessment (Recommended)
CredentialedSimulates an authenticated user, tenant, or insider threat within Dark Web Monitoring. We evaluate role segregation, authorization boundaries, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws across user tiers.
White Box / Source-Assisted
Full-KnowledgeConducted with direct access to architecture schematics, configuration files, and API/code documentation. Eliminates blind spots and provides exhaustive coverage of security mechanisms governing Dark Web Monitoring.
Attack Surface & Vulnerability Vectors
Employee credentials in combolists
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Employee credentials in combolists across your Dark Web Monitoring environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Company mentions in access-for-sale listings
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Company mentions in access-for-sale listings across your Dark Web Monitoring environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Executive doxxing or impersonation
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Executive doxxing or impersonation across your Dark Web Monitoring environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Leaked internal documents
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Leaked internal documents across your Dark Web Monitoring environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Ransomware affiliate targeting
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Ransomware affiliate targeting across your Dark Web Monitoring environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
How we run it
Analyst-curated watchlists, continuous collection from closed and open sources, triage by analysts (not just keyword alerting), and alert-level intelligence with recommended actions.
Watchlist design with stakeholders
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting watchlist design with stakeholders across your dark web monitoring deployment.
Continuous collection
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting continuous collection across your dark web monitoring deployment.
Analyst triage of hits
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting analyst triage of hits across your dark web monitoring deployment.
Impact assessment per finding
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting impact assessment per finding across your dark web monitoring deployment.
Alerting with recommended action
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting alerting with recommended action across your dark web monitoring deployment.
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- Monitored watchlist of domains, IPs, brands, execs
- Weekly intel digest
- Real-time critical alerts
- Credential leak assessments
- Ransomware victim alerting
- Access broker listing alerts
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Auditor-Ready Compliance Crosswalk
| Framework | Control Section | Testing Evidence & Report Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | CC4.1, CC7.1, CC7.2 | Technical testing evidence validating system boundaries, access restrictions, and vulnerability identification controls. |
| NIST Cybersecurity Framework | PR.AC, DE.CM, RS.AN | Technical testing verifying access controls, anomaly detection efficacy, and incident response mitigation capabilities. |
| GDPR Article 32 | Art. 32(1)(d) | Documented evidence of regular testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical measures protecting personal data. |
Findings are mapped to SOC 2, NIST CSF, GDPR, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scoping, methodology, compliance validation, and deliverables.
Our Dark Web Monitoring service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: Monitored watchlist of domains, IPs, brands, execs, Weekly intel digest, Real-time critical alerts, Credential leak assessments, Ransomware victim alerting. Every engagement includes reproducible proof-of-concept exploits, developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest.
Yes. Findings are directly mapped to SOC 2, NIST CSF, GDPR control requirements. The resulting report is auditor-ready and formatted for immediate submission to SOC 2 CPAs, PCI QSAs, and enterprise vendor risk assessment teams.
Yes. Every Lorikeet Security engagement includes free retesting within 30 to 60 days to validate that your remediation patches successfully resolve the identified vulnerabilities before your final report is issued.
Typical active testing turnaround is Ongoing monthly service, with critical findings reported immediately via your Talon portal so your engineering team can begin remediation without waiting for the final PDF.
Pricing starts from $1,800/month. We scope the engagement in one call based on your environment's surface area, user roles, and complexity, providing a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden change orders.
