Your passwords are already for sale. The question is whether you'd know.
In the first half of 2026 alone, breach trackers logged more stolen-data notices than in the whole of 2025, over 470 million people notified in six months. A single stolen-credential collection uncovered in 2025 held more than 16 billion usernames and passwords, pulled quietly from ordinary business logins by infostealer malware. One widely reported 2024 breach, at Change Healthcare, affected close to 193 million people on its own. None of it required anyone to target your company specifically. It just took one employee reusing a password somewhere else, and your domain is in the next dump.

How it works
One picture, built from everything that's watching you
Most businesses check their exposure once, if ever, and each source only shows one slice of the problem. Readiness Watch checks every week and pulls signals from breach data, your own DNS and mail configuration, certificate and infrastructure records, and live threat-intelligence feeds, then correlates all of it into a single 360-degree view of where you actually stand.
- Runs on its own every week, not once a year at assessment time.
- Combines multiple independent sources instead of trusting a single feed.
- Flags only genuinely new exposure, so you're not drowning in historic noise.
7 signals, checked weekly
Breach data, email security, infrastructure, and live threat feeds, checked every week.
Mapped to your controls
Every finding ties back to the Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 control it affects.
Assessor triage included
A practising assessor's time attached to what to actually do about it.
What we watch
Seven blind spots most businesses never check
Exposed passwords and identity leaks
Your team's logins, emails, and personal details turning up in breach dumps and stolen-data collections, often long before anyone thinks to check.
Email impersonation risk
Whether someone could send an email that looks exactly like it came from your company, invoices and wire requests included, and your own systems would deliver it straight to the inbox.
Forgotten servers still online
Old staging sites, test servers, and dev environments nobody remembers building, sitting exposed under your domain right now.
Certificates about to fail silently
A security certificate quietly expiring in the background, ready to break customer trust the day nobody's watching for it.
A website that fails its own security checks
The same configuration checks browsers use to flag a site as unsafe, run against yours automatically, every time.
Copycat domains built to fool you
Newly registered lookalike domains, the kind used to trick your customers or your own staff into handing over credentials.
Your domain on live threat feeds
Checked against live phishing and malware intelligence every week, not a one-off scan you have to remember to run again.
