Free dark web scan — has your business email been compromised?
Free dark web scan for Melbourne businesses. Check every email address on your domain against known data breaches. Confidential report with clear next steps.
Key IT's free dark web scan checks whether your company email addresses have appeared in known data breaches, then gives your Melbourne business a confidential report of which accounts are exposed and what to change. When a website your staff use gets breached, their work email and password can end up for sale on the dark web — and most businesses never know until an attacker uses them.
How does the dark web scan work?
It is hands-off: the scan works from your business email domain (the part after the @), so there is nothing to install and nothing for your staff to do.
We scan known breach databases for your business domain.
You get a confidential report showing which addresses have appeared in breaches.
We explain what to do
Which passwords to change and how to reduce the risk.
Why does a leaked work email matter?
A leaked work email and password is one of the easiest ways into a business. People reuse passwords, so a breach at an unrelated site can hand an attacker the keys to your Microsoft 365. Knowing which accounts are exposed lets you close the door before it is used — and is a strong argument for multi-factor authentication everywhere, one of the ACSC's Essential Eight controls. Pair it with a cybersecurity health check for the full picture.
Even without a password, a leaked address tells criminals who works for you — exactly what they need for a convincing phishing email or fake invoice. A free phishing simulation demo shows how your team would handle that follow-up attack.
Who should request a dark web scan?
Almost every business, because staff sign in to Microsoft 365 and online portals with a work email. It is especially worth doing:
Before a cyber insurance renewal
Insurers ask about multi-factor authentication, and exposed accounts show where it matters most.
After a supplier or platform you use announces a breach
Check whether your team was in it.
If staff use work email for outside sites
Newsletters, webinars, online shopping and software trials.
If you have never checked
Old breaches keep circulating long after the news fades.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dark web scan?
A check of known data-breach databases to see whether your business email addresses and credentials have been exposed in breaches and are circulating where attackers can find them.
How can I check if my business email has been breached?
Ask Key IT for a dark web scan: we check your whole business domain against known breach databases and report every address on it that appears. To check a single personal address yourself, the free Have I Been Pwned service is a good start.
Is the scan free and confidential?
Yes. Key IT's scan is free, comes with no obligation, and the report is confidential to your business.
What does it mean if my email shows up?
That the address appeared in a known breach. It does not always mean your account is currently compromised, but it does mean the password should be changed and MFA enabled.
What happens after I request a scan?
Key IT checks your business email domain against known breach databases, then sends you a confidential report of every address on it that appears and walks you through which passwords to change and where to turn on multi-factor authentication. There is nothing to install and nothing for your staff to do.
What should I do about exposed credentials?
Change affected passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, and stop reusing passwords. We will guide you through it.
Does a clean result mean we are safe?
It is a good sign, but not a guarantee. A scan is one useful check among the layered defences — MFA, patching, backups and monitoring — that Key IT's managed cybersecurity puts in place.
Is a dark web scan the same as dark web monitoring?
No. A scan is a point-in-time check of breaches known today, and new ones surface all the time, so it is worth repeating. Between checks, MFA and unique passwords do the protecting, and for Key IT's managed clients, 24/7 SOC monitoring watches Microsoft 365 sign-ins for a stolen password being used.
What if an account has already been taken over?
Don't wait for a scan. If a mailbox is sending odd emails, has new forwarding rules or someone is locked out, call 1300 053 948 for incident response — Key IT helps Melbourne businesses contain compromised accounts, even if you are not a client yet. Our first-hour checklist for a hacked Microsoft 365 account walks through blocking sign-in, signing the account out everywhere and removing the attacker's inbox rules.
