Service

Know what's coming before it hits you.

Threat intelligence is the practice of watching for signals — leaked credentials, fake profiles, spoofed domains, exposure on breach forums — that indicate you or your business are being targeted. We run that watch for you, and only ping you when something needs a human response.

In one sentence: Threat intelligence monitoring watches the public and semi-public internet for specific signals that you or your organization are being targeted — leaked credentials, brand impersonation, or exposure of your accounts and assets — and alerts you with an action, not a dashboard.

What this service is

Enterprise threat-intel platforms are aimed at Fortune 500 SOCs and produce firehoses of noise. Individuals and small businesses get drowned. Our service is deliberately narrow: we watch a small, curated set of signals directly relevant to you, and we only alert you when an action is warranted.

This is not automated dashboards you'll never read. Each alert is triaged by a human analyst and comes with a plain-language explanation, a severity rating, and a suggested next action.

We monitor only identifiers you own or control and have authorized us to watch — your domains, brand terms, handles, and email addresses. We do not monitor other people.

Who this is for

  • Solo professionals with an online reputation — journalists, executives, creators, therapists, consultants — whose own identifiers are being targeted.
  • Small businesses whose brand or domain gets spoofed for phishing.
  • Anyone recovering from a scam, impersonation, or breach and worried about repeat targeting of the same identifiers.

How it works

Step 1

Onboarding brief

We collect the identifiers you own or control (domains, brand terms, email addresses, phone numbers, top handles) and set the alert threshold that matches your risk appetite.

Step 2

Continuous scanning

Ongoing checks against public breach data, DNS registrations that look like your domain, and new impersonation-style profiles using your name, brand, or handles.

Step 3

Human triage

Every hit is reviewed by an analyst before you're alerted. False positives are filtered out, so when we ping you, it matters.

Step 4

Actionable alert

You receive an email + portal notification with the finding, its severity, and a suggested response — often something we can help you execute (takedown package, credential rotation, etc.).

What's included

  • Continuous monitoring of the identifiers you provide.
  • Human-triaged alerts (no dashboards to babysit).
  • Monthly summary report of everything we watched and everything we suppressed.
  • Free re-scoping every 90 days as your risk profile changes.
  • Priority access to our incident-response services when an alert requires action.

Frequently asked

How is this different from Have-I-Been-Pwned?

HIBP is a great free tool for checking if an email address appears in breach data. Threat intelligence is broader and human-in-the-loop: we watch domains, brand terms, social handles, and multiple breach and impersonation feeds, and we triage the results so you don't drown in alerts.

Do you monitor the 'dark web'?

Where relevant and lawfully accessible. Much of what's marketed as 'dark web monitoring' is actually monitoring of public and semi-public forums where stolen data circulates. We monitor those. We do not run agents on illegal marketplaces.

How much does it cost?

Threat monitoring is bundled with our Sentinel ($99/mo) and Enterprise ($299/mo) plans. See the Pricing page for details.

How often will I hear from you?

Only when it matters. Typical clients receive 0–3 alerts per month plus one monthly summary. If nothing happened, we say so — no filler.

Can I add more identifiers later?

Yes. Your monitored identifiers can be updated in your client portal at any time; changes take effect the next scan cycle.
