Pen Test Partners' Dark Web Annual Monitoring and OSINT Assessment is a managed intelligence service that monitors open and closed data sources to detect mentions of an organisation's assets, credentials, or infrastructure across dark web forums, file-sharing sites, credential leak forums, and ransomware Telegram groups. The service works by collaborating with clients to define a set of search queries tailored to their specific estate and user base. Matching results are enriched with expert analysis and delivered as actionable intelligence via scheduled email reports (daily or weekly) and real-time alert emails for critical or urgent findings. Key use cases include: - Ransomware early warning: Intercepts forum chatter referencing client IP ranges, credential counts, or email addresses being prepared for use in attacks. - Senior leadership impersonation: Monitors executive email addresses and social media handles for spear-phishing or AI-enabled impersonation campaigns. - Credential leak detection: Tracks overt and covert data leak sites for exposed credentials tied to the client's organisation. - Access broker and database sale monitoring: Detects listings related to data exfiltrated from the client's environment. The service includes pre-authorised investigation hours, allowing analysts to perform deeper analysis without delay when an alert is triggered. Active remediation or on-site deployment for confirmed breaches is handled separately through a retainer arrangement. The service is delivered on an annual subscription basis.
