CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Startups and SMBs with limited security budgets should use Free Dark Web Scan to find exposed employee credentials before attackers weaponize them, which is often the fastest path to account compromise in resource-constrained environments. The tool covers continuous monitoring and incident detection per NIST DE.CM and DE.AE, and F12.net's 261-person team in Canada provides managed scanning without requiring internal infrastructure. Skip this if you need dark web intelligence tied to threat actor tracking or industry-specific breach context; Free Dark Web Scan excels at the credential check, not the threat narrative.
Mid-market and enterprise security teams with fragmented external threat visibility will get the most from Cyfirma DeTCT because it actually monitors the attack surface attackers see, not just what you think you own. The platform covers five NIST CSF 2.0 areas including asset discovery and supply chain risk, and its dark web monitoring with data breach correlation catches exposures competitors' vulnerability scanners never will. Skip this if your organization needs integrated incident response or endpoint detection; DeTCT is external-facing intelligence, not internal forensics.
