Credential Monitoring

Credential Monitoring provides proactive visibility into user credentials that may have been exposed on the dark web. This services includes a monthly report detailing compromised usernames, passwords, and associated breach data to help mitigate identity-based risks before they lead to incidents.

The objectives of the DeepSeas Credential Monitoring Service are:

• Identify and report user credentials found in known or emerging dark web breaches
• Reduce organizational exposure to credential-based threats
• Enable proactive remediation through timely reporting and alerts
• Support compliance and security posture improvement initiatives

1. Establish security data collection and monitoring parameters for designated domains or email addresses.
2. Integrate with trusted threat intelligence and dark web monitoring sources.
3. Continuously scan dark web forums, paste sites, and breach repositories for credential exposures.
4. Validate exposed credentials against the monitored domain to confirm relevance.
5. Aggregate and classify findings by severity and risk category.
6. Generate a consolidated monthly report summarizing all credential exposures.
7. Provide detailed context for each compromised record (e.g., source breach, exposure date, password hashes where available)
8. Deliver actionable recommendations for account remediation and password resets.
9. Maintain confidentiality and security handling of all sensitive data throughout the process.
10. Review service findings quarterly to optimize detection coverage and reporting quality.

Deepseas will provide the following deliverables:

1. Monthly Credential Exposure Report - summarizing all newly discovered credentials associated with the monitored domains.
   1. Exposure details including username/email, breach source, and date of exposure (where available).
2. Risk Assessment Summary outlining overall exposure trends and risk levels.
3. Remediation Recommendations for credential resets and policy updates.
