Dark web monitoring for MSPs: 30 products compared
Dark web monitoring watches the places where stolen credentials and leaked data are traded and tells you when a client's domain shows up. For an MSP it does two jobs: an ongoing alert service you bill monthly, and a prospecting scan that shows a business owner their staff's passwords are already for sale. The catalog has no dedicated category for it yet. 30 published products from 21 vendors name dark web monitoring in their name or description as of October 2026, and 21 of them sit in Threat Intelligence. This guide covers what these products find, how MSPs package them and what separates them.
Key facts, October 2026
- 30 products from 21 vendors describe dark web monitoring. 17 are dedicated dark web monitoring products, one per vendor. 13 include it as part of a wider platform or bundle.
- All 30 are client-facing: 16 resold, 14 run by the MSP and paid for by the client.
- 3 expose a public API (Breachsense, InsecureWeb and MSP Dark Web Monitoring) and 1 has a verified MCP server (SOCRadar XTI).
- 4 list a verified ConnectWise PSA integration and 2 Autotask.
- 22 of the 30 come from US vendors and 3 from the UK.
What it finds, and what it doesn't
The products watch criminal marketplaces, hacker forums, paste sites, ransomware leak sites, encrypted chat channels and infostealer logs. SOCRadar Dark Web Monitoring lists black markets, botnet data, stealer logs, hacker forums and Telegram. Breachsense lists more than 100 ransomware leak sites and Russian-language forums, and infostealer logs that contain session cookies as well as passwords. UTMStack's Dark Web Monitoring, which runs on InsecureWeb, lists Tor, I2P and Freenet sites, IRC channels and data from more than 640,000 botnets.
What you get back is a list of exposures tied to a domain, an email address or an IP: a username and password from an old breach, a session cookie stolen by malware from an employee's laptop, a mention of the company in a forum.
It finds data that has already leaked. It doesn't stop the leak, and it can't see breaches nobody has published. An empty report means nothing was found in the sources the vendor covers, so treat it as a lower bound and never as a clean bill of health. A leaked password opens less when every account has its own, which is the argument for a password manager; see Password managers for MSPs.
How MSPs package it
As a prospecting tool. Several vendors build for this. CyberGuard360 offers 5 dark web scans a month with white-labelled marketing material for prospecting. usecure's uBreach generates branded breach reports on external domains for client acquisition. On ID Agent's site, an MSP describes running the Dark Web ID live search on every prospect.
As an ongoing alert service. You add each client's domains and get alerted to new exposures. MSP Dark Web Monitoring works this way: add domains, emails and IPs, get alerts and client-ready reports, and it sells month to month with no contract. Each alert means work for a technician, who resets the password, checks the account for unusual sign-ins and confirms MFA is on.
Inside a bundle. 13 of the 30 products include dark web monitoring as one feature of something larger. INFIMA combines it with security awareness training and phishing simulation in a multi-tenant platform. Kaseya's Kaseya 365 User bundles it with email security, awareness training and SaaS backup. Symbol Security includes it in its Automated Security Program. NordLayer adds breach monitoring to its network security platform. If a client already pays for one of these, check before selling a second monitor. The awareness training angle has its own shelf under Security Awareness & Training.
The landscape in numbers
| How MSPs relate to it | Products (of 30) |
|---|---|
| Resold to clients | 16 |
| Both: you run the console, the client pays | 14 |
| Internal tooling only | 0 |
The 17 dedicated products are Breachsense, CyberGuard360 Deep Diver, CyberHoot's Dark Web Report, Cyrisma Dark Web Monitoring, Flare Executive Protection, InsecureWeb, Kaseya's Dark Web ID, MSP Dark Web Monitoring, Prey's Breach Monitoring, Quorum Cyber Dark Web Monitoring, Risk Cognizance Dark Web Monitoring, SOCRadar Dark Web Monitoring, Searchlight Threat, SureShield SecurityShield-Dark Web Surveillance, Symbol Security Dark Web Monitoring, UTMStack Dark Web Monitoring and usecure uBreach.
- Built for MSPs, mostly. Dark Web ID says nearly 4,000 MSPs in more than 30 countries partner with it. MSP Dark Web, InsecureWeb, CyberGuard360, INFIMA and Cyrisma all pitch to MSPs directly.
- Agent-readiness is low. Only Breachsense, InsecureWeb and MSP Dark Web Monitoring have a verified public API, and only SOCRadar XTI a verified MCP server. Breachsense calls itself API-first and pushes alerts to SIEM, SOAR and ticketing tools.
- PSA integrations are uncommon. Breachsense, Dark Web ID, INFIMA and NordLayer list a verified ConnectWise integration. Dark Web ID and INFIMA also list Autotask.
What separates products
- Sources. Ask for the list: marketplaces, forums, paste sites, ransomware leak sites, Telegram and other chat channels, infostealer logs. Infostealer logs matter because they hold fresh session cookies and passwords taken from a live device, not passwords from a breach years ago.
- Noise. Old breach data comes back again and again. Searchlight says it filters noise before alerts reach analysts, Symbol Security says it filters to high-confidence threats, and Dark Web ID describes its intelligence as analyst-validated. Ask how a repeat exposure is handled and whether you can mark one as resolved.
- Masked or unmasked data. InsecureWeb shows masked data on its free plan and unmasked data on its paid plans. SOCRadar lets you control how leaked passwords appear to analysts. Decide who at your MSP should see a client's plaintext passwords.
- The pricing unit. Per domain, per user, per client or credits. InsecureWeb lists a free plan with 15 credits a month, pay-as-you-go pricing and an MSP volume plan at $290 for up to 150 domains, IPs or phone numbers. Per-domain pricing suits clients with many staff and one domain.
- White-label reports. uBreach, CyberGuard360, InsecureWeb and INFIMA all list branded or white-labelled reports. Look at a real one, because it is what the client reads.
- Ticketing. Without a PSA integration, alerts arrive by email. Check whether an exposure can open a ticket for the right client.
Using a prospect scan responsibly
A scan of a prospect's domain returns other people's credentials. Show the prospect counts and dates, not passwords. Don't send the full report until they are a client. Make sure the people at your MSP who can see unmasked data have a reason to.
Questions to ask in the demo
- Which sources do you monitor, and how often do you add new ones?
- Show me a real alert for a client domain and what a technician does next.
- How do you handle the same old breach showing up for the fifth time?
- Can technicians see plaintext passwords, and can I restrict that?
- What does a white-labelled prospect report look like, and how many scans do I get?
- How are exposures routed to my PSA, by integration, API or email?
How to use the catalog for this
All 17 dedicated products sit in Threat Intelligence, which holds 66 products from 45 vendors, and 9 of them are also filed under Attack Surface Management. The bundles appear in other categories, such as Security Awareness & Training. Each product page links the evidence behind its API and MCP flags, and the vendor page shows what else the vendor sells. If a dark web monitoring product you use is missing, paste its URL and the system will classify and add it.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dark web monitoring service?
A service that watches criminal marketplaces, hacker forums, leak sites, chat channels and infostealer logs for data tied to your domains, email addresses or IPs, and alerts you when it appears. MSPs resell it or run it for clients and act on the alerts.
Is dark web monitoring worth selling to small clients?
It gives you a concrete finding to act on, such as a staff password for sale, and a reason to enforce MFA and password resets. It doesn't prevent breaches. INFIMA, Kaseya 365 User and Symbol Security bundle it with security awareness training, which gives the alerts a follow-up.
How many dark web monitoring tools are built for MSPs?

Can I run a dark web scan on a prospect?
Several products are built for it, including Dark Web ID, uBreach and CyberGuard360. Show the prospect counts and dates rather than passwords, and keep the full report until they sign.
