OwlyScan

What is OwlyScan?

OwlyScan is a deep and dark web monitoring platform. It indexes documents in every format and language, watches your company and your suppliers, and turns hits into alerts and audit-ready reports.

  • Continuous watch on you, your suppliers, and their subcontractors
  • Credentials, contracts, source code, databases, mentions, and more
  • Alerts and reports you can show to auditors, customers, and IR teams

How OwlyScan maps to the requirements

  1. 01

    Name who you must protect

    Your organisation, direct suppliers, and critical subcontractors enter the watch list.

  2. 02

    OwlyScan monitors underground sources

    Leaks, dumps, forums, and marketplaces are indexed; AI filters what concerns your perimeter.

  3. 03

    Keep proof for auditors and IR

    Alerts and audit-ready reports document that supply-chain exposure watch is running.

OwlyScan supports selected measures with external monitoring and evidence. It is not a certification, and it does not replace your full compliance programme.

Where OwlyScan supports the requirement

Ref Domain What the framework asks Coverage How OwlyScan helps
Art. 21(2)(b) Incident handling Detect, analyse, contain, and respond to cybersecurity incidents. Partial Early external signal when credentials or documents appear on the dark web; sourced findings for analysis. Not containment or SOC tooling.
Art. 21(2)(a) Risk analysis Policies on risk analysis and information system security. Partial Objective exposure evidence of what actually circulates about you and your chain — input to risk analysis beyond self-attestation.
Art. 21(2)(f) Effectiveness of measures Policies and procedures to assess the effectiveness of cybersecurity risk-management measures. Partial Audit-ready monitoring reports document that supply-chain and self exposure watch is operational over time.
Art. 23 Incident reporting Report significant incidents to competent authorities within mandated timelines. Partial Timestamped artefacts for the narrative and timeline. Does not file notifications.
Art. 21(2)(c) Business continuity / crisis Business continuity, backup, disaster recovery, and crisis management. Partial Faster awareness of exfiltration can reduce time-to-decision. Not a BCP or backup product.
Art. 21(2)(b) Partial

Business continuity / crisis

Business continuity, backup, disaster recovery, and crisis management.

Faster awareness of exfiltration can reduce time-to-decision. Not a BCP or backup product.

Before, during, and after an incident

NIS2 incident handling is more than a procedure. External leak signals often arrive first on the dark web.

Before

Continuous monitoring of you and suppliers reduces blind spots before a significant incident is declared.

During

Alerts when credentials or documents appear underground feed detection and analysis under Art. 21(2)(b).

After

Investigation mode scopes what was published, about whom, and since when — with sources for the file and for Art. 23 narrative support.

OwlyScan does not isolate hosts, run your SOC, or file notifications with authorities.
