AT A GLANCE
What is a dark web scan?
A dark web scan is a free exposure check that identifies whether your company email address has appeared in leaked datasets, credential collections, or other sources associated with cybercriminal activity. It gives your team a quick way to detect possible compromise, validate external exposure, and assess risk before stolen data is used in account takeover, phishing, or other follow-on attacks.
Enter your work email address to start the scan
Use your company email address to check whether it appears in exposed datasets or threat-related sources.

BUILT FOR SECURITY TEAMS
Move from one-time checks to continuous dark web monitoring
A one-time scan only reveals what is already exposed. Continuous monitoring helps your team detect new leaks faster and respond before exposed data leads to serious incidents.
Detect new threats as they surface
NordLayer Intelligence monitors thousands of deep and dark web sources and alerts your team when leaked credentials, company mentions, or other threat signals appear.
Expand coverage across high-risk sources
Access to one of the largest dark web intelligence pools gives your team broader visibility across cybercrime forums, marketplaces, ransomware blogs, and other monitored sources.
Track third-party exposure around your business
Monitor not only mentions of your own organization, but also of your suppliers, partners, and other external entities that could introduce risk through indirect exposure.
Reduce reputational and customer risk
Early visibility into leaked data and impersonation-related activity helps your team act before external threats affect customer trust, brand integrity, or business operations.

Frequently asked questions
Dark web monitoring services help organizations track deep and dark web sources for data linked to their business. This can include leaked credentials, company mentions, exposed employee or customer data, and other signs of compromise. Unlike a one-time scan, continuous monitoring helps security teams detect new exposure as it appears and investigate risks faster.
Exposed data often shows up outside your environment before it is used in account takeover, fraud, phishing, or ransomware activity. Dark web monitoring for business helps companies spot these signals earlier, validate whether the exposure is relevant, and respond before a smaller issue turns into a larger incident. It also gives teams better visibility into risks tied to third parties, impersonation, or stolen credentials.
The exact findings vary, but dark web monitoring can help detect leaked usernames, passwords, email addresses, session cookies, personal data, company mentions, and other business-related information appearing in monitored sources. Depending on the source, it may also surface exposed data from ransomware leak sites, forums, marketplaces, or Telegram channels.
Dark web monitoring is continuous. NordLayer Intelligence monitors supported sources on an ongoing basis to identify newly exposed data and company-related threat signals as they appear, rather than relying on occasional manual checks or one-time searches.
When leaked data or other dark web threats are detected, NordLayer Intelligence can alert your team via email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or other preferred channels. These automated alerts help your team review new findings quickly and respond before an incident escalates.
Yes. The monitoring process is designed to help organizations identify external exposure without publicly revealing what they are investigating. Access to findings is handled within the platform to help ensure data is reviewed in a controlled and secure way.
