Dark Web Assessment
CloudTech24 provides expert dark web assessments to identify leaked credentials, exposed data, and hidden risks across dark web marketplaces, forums, and hacker networks.
What is a dark web assessment?
A dark web assessment (also known as a dark web breach assessment or dark web scan) is an in-depth investigation of dark web sources. The aim is to uncover any sensitive or compromised information about your organisation, accounts, systems, and employees. Conducting regular dark web assessments and dark web monitoring ensures your organisation is aware of emerging risks and has time to act before criminals’ strike.
The CloudTech24 security team uses advanced OSINT techniques to search dark web marketplaces, criminal forums, paste sites, and other hotspots for:
- Breached usernames and passwords
- Remote access credentials for sale
- Personal accounts of senior staff or board members
- Active threats targeting your business.
The benefits of a dark web assessment
The dark web is a marketplace for stolen data, including emails, passwords, financial details, and personal information. If your company’s data is exposed:
- Hackers can launch phishing or ransomware attacks
- You could risk regulatory fines and GDPR penalties
- Your business reputation may be damaged
- It could generate negative PR and have an adverse impact on customer trust levels.
A proactive dark web scan from CloudTech24 can help you identify breaches early, limit damage, and strengthen your cyber defences.

Dark web assessment: FAQs
Please see below for some common questions on our dark web assessment services. If you would prefer to speak to someone then please do pick up the phone and speak to one of our team.
What is the dark web?
The dark web is a hidden part of the internet where websites sit behind layers of encryption and are not indexed by search engines. It’s commonly accessed through the Tor browser and is often used for illicit or illegal activity. However, it can also be used for legitimate purposes by individuals seeking privacy or anonymity.
The dark web is the perfect place for criminals to trade stolen credentials, malware, and other illegal software or data. So if you want to protect sensitive company information, you should run regular dark web assessments.
Is it illegal to go on the dark web?
Accessing the dark web itself is not illegal. However, it is illegal to engage in criminal activities while on the dark web, such as buying or selling illegal goods, hacking, or distributing illegal content.
How can I check if my password has been leaked on the dark web?
Once connected to the dark web it can be navigated similarly to the open web or internet, by using a specialist search engine or clicking links on other sites.
Can the dark web be monitored?
Yes. At CloudTech24, we provide continuous dark web monitoring to help protect your organisation. Our service monitors for compromised credentials, personally identifiable information (PII), and other sensitive data, alerting you immediately if any risks are detected so you can take prompt action.
What does PII mean?
PII stands for Personally Identifiable Information; such as name, address, date of birth, passport number or credit card details.

Long term customer of Cloudtech24 – today was particularly useful as there is no one as nerdy as me in our company, and it was good just to bounce the problem off the team. I eventually found the answer myself – sort of ‘once you have excluded everything that should be causing it, you’re left with what it couldn’t be’. And it was!
Helpful & cheerful as always thank you Yassi
