WHY DARKWATCH

Purpose-Built for the Retail Threat Landscape

Payment Card Monitoring

Detect stolen card numbers and BINs tied to your customers appearing in carding forums, dark web marketplaces, and breach databases before fraud occurs.

Fraud Detection & Prevention

Identify account takeover attempts and loyalty program fraud before attackers drain rewards balances or exploit stored payment methods.

Real-Time Alerts

Get notified within minutes when employee credentials, customer PII, or payment data surfaces on the dark web — not weeks later when damage is done.

Employee & Vendor Coverage

Monitor credentials across your entire workforce — from store associates and HQ staff to POS vendors and third-party logistics partners.

Customer Data Protection

Detect when customer email addresses, shipping addresses, and account credentials from your platform appear in third-party breaches that enable credential stuffing attacks.

PCI DSS Compliance Support

DarkWatch supports PCI DSS requirements for monitoring unauthorized access and credential compromise — helping you maintain cardholder data environment compliance.
