Frequently Asked Questions
What you need to know about Beralock.
Straight answers on dark web monitoring, takedowns, executive protection, HUMINT, red team operations, and how engagements work.
What is Beralock?
Beralock is an analyst-led threat intelligence and adversary operations firm. It provides dark web monitoring, brand and impersonation takedowns, executive (VIP) protection, OSINT investigations, human intelligence (HUMINT), and full-scope red team operations across the surface, deep, and dark web.
What is dark web monitoring and how does Beralock do it?
Dark web monitoring is the continuous surveillance of clandestine online communities where attackers trade stolen credentials, data, source code, and access. Beralock maintains long-standing analyst identities inside 200+ closed forums, marketplaces, and channels across Tor, I2P, Telegram, and Discord, combining human collection with automated scraping. Average time to detect exposed client data is 4.2 hours.
How fast can Beralock take down a phishing or lookalike domain?
Beralock coordinates end-to-end takedowns of cloned domains, phishing kits, fake profiles, and counterfeit listings with a median time to removal of 6.1 hours and a 94% removal success rate, using direct abuse-reporting relationships with major registrars, hosts, and social platforms, with legal escalation when warranted.
What is the difference between dark web monitoring and HUMINT?
Dark web monitoring tells you when your data or brand shows up for sale. Human intelligence (HUMINT) tells you when your sector is being scoped — advance warning of operations, threat-actor profiles, and TTPs gathered from inside vouched-entry forums and affiliate channels. Beralock HUMINT engagements average 47 days of pre-attack warning.
Does Beralock offer red team and penetration testing?
Yes. Beralock runs full-scope red team operations and penetration testing led by operators who have discovered multiple CVEs and stopped live breaches. Engagements emulate real adversary behaviour end-to-end rather than running a checklist scan.
How does Beralock protect executives?
Beralock provides continuous executive (VIP) protection: it reduces the executive’s digital footprint via opt-outs across 100+ data brokers, then monitors doxxing channels, impersonation profiles, deepfakes, and coordinated targeting of the executive and family, with same-day crisis response when a threat materialises.
What industries and regions does Beralock serve?
Beralock serves banking and financial services (BFSI), fintech, technology, critical infrastructure, and private equity clients globally, with native-language analyst coverage across 14+ languages.
Is the intelligence analyst-verified or automated?
Every signal is reviewed by an analyst fluent in the source language before it reaches the client. Automated collection provides breadth; human analysts eliminate false positives, decode codewords, and surface only verified, decision-ready threats.
What deliverables do Beralock clients receive?
Clients receive real-time alerts when their credentials, data, or brand appear; monthly threat intelligence reports (PDF); quarterly executive briefings; takedown coordination with proof of removal; and secure portal access for their security team.
