Digital Footprint Protection
DigitalStakeout continuously maps and monitors your organization's digital attack surface — from domain abuse and credential leaks to data broker exposure and unauthorized web presence — classifying every signal across Cyber Risk, Reputation Risk, and Crime Risk domains.
Digital footprint protection
Digital footprint protection is the continuous discovery and monitoring of an organization's exposed digital assets — including domains, credentials, personal data, and web properties — to reduce attack surface and prevent exploitation. DigitalStakeout provides digital footprint protection by continuously monitoring for domain impersonation, credential exposure in breach databases, personal information on data broker sites, and unauthorized changes to web assets — classifying every signal across Cyber Risk, Reputation Risk, and Crime Risk intelligence domains with 249+ threat classifiers.
Your Digital Footprint Is Larger Than You Think
Every domain registration, employee credential, executive profile, and web property expands your organization's attack surface. Threat actors probe this surface daily — looking for expired domains, leaked passwords, exposed PII, and forgotten web assets to exploit.
Credentials are already exposed
Employee passwords, email addresses, and authentication details from past breaches circulate in dumps and dark web markets. Without continuous monitoring, you do not know what is already available to attackers.
Domains are being impersonated
Typosquat domains, lookalike registrations, and phishing infrastructure mimicking your brand are registered daily. Each one is a potential attack vector targeting your customers, partners, or employees directly.
Personal data is on broker sites
Executive and employee personal information — home addresses, phone numbers, family details — is aggregated and sold by data broker sites, creating physical security risks and enabling social engineering attacks.
How DigitalStakeout Solves This
Powered by DARIA™, DigitalStakeout continuously monitors your digital attack surface — discovering exposed credentials, domain threats, PII listings, and unauthorized web presence so your team closes gaps before attackers exploit them.
Attack Surface Discovery
Domain Search provides access to 300 million registered domains and 2 billion+ hostnames for comprehensive domain reconnaissance. Domain monitoring continuously tracks domain-level threats, DNS changes, and new registrations targeting your brand.
Credential & Breach Monitoring
Credential breach monitoring processes exposed credentials and compromised records from breach disclosures and data dumps continuously. Credential breach search uncovers leaked passwords, email addresses, and personal data on demand.
PII & Data Broker Tracking
DigitalStakeout tracks exposed personal information and data broker listings that put your executives, employees, and organization at risk. The platform classifies PII exposure across Cyber Risk and Crime Risk domains automatically.
Web Asset Monitoring
Web asset monitoring tracks changes across critical web assets — detecting defacement, unauthorized content, and infrastructure modifications. Website search enables on-demand investigation of web properties.
What DARIA Detects
Threat Scenarios Covered for Digital Footprint Protection
DigitalStakeout automatically classifies incoming signals into these specific threat scenarios — in real time, across 40+ languages.
“New dump: 2.3M records from a mid-Atlantic healthcare network. Full PII — names, SSN, insurance IDs. Selling bulk.”
“New domain registered: university-portal-login.net — typosquat pattern matching client entity universityportal.edu.”
“Internal salary data and performance reviews from [REDACTED] Corp posted online. 800+ employee records including executive compensation.”
“Batch of SSNs posted alongside names and addresses. Appears to originate from a payroll processor. Approximately 340 records.”
“List of 2,400 .edu email addresses with plaintext passwords posted. Likely from a credential stuffing attack on a learning platform.”
