“I would highly recommend EJN Labs to any organisation seeking reliable, detailed, and well-managed penetration testing services, particularly for government or enterprise-level projects.”
Imran SaghirProject Lead, SquareOne“There wasn’t another company we could find that could deliver what we needed in the timeframe we needed. The client loved it, and we got instant ROI from the engagement.”
Dan WilcocksonCo-Founder, Celloriis the average detection-to-response delay when a leaked credential first appears on the dark web. Continuous CTI shrinks it to hours.
Generic feeds are noise. Sector-specific CTI is signal.
Most “threat intelligence” feeds dump thousands of indicators of compromise (IoCs) per day, useful for one in a hundred. Your SOC drowns. Detection rules accumulate. Real threats hide in the noise.
Our CTI is sector-tailored. We profile the threat actors actively targeting your industry (fintech: FIN7, Carbanak, Cobalt Group; healthcare: ransomware-as-a-service operators; public sector: nation-state APTs). We monitor the specific forums, markets, leak sites, and Telegram channels where they operate.
We deliver prioritised intelligence, not a firehose. Reports inform your SOC playbooks, your red team scenarios, and your board-level cyber resilience reviews.
CTI COVERAGE AREAS
What We Cover in Threat Intelligence

Dark Web Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of underground forums, marketplaces, and Telegram channels for mentions of your brand, executives, infrastructure, or credentials.

Real-time alerting when your company name (or supply chain partners) appears on ransomware leak sites: DLS, double-extortion announcements, breach posts.

FAQ
Frequently Asked
What is cyber threat intelligence (CTI)?
Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is curated, contextualised information about adversaries: who they are, what they target, how they operate, what TTPs they use. Unlike generic threat feeds, CTI is tailored to your sector and prioritised by relevance to your environment.
How does CTI differ from a generic threat feed?
Generic threat feeds dump thousands of IoCs per day with minimal context; your SOC drowns. CTI is curated by analysts: sector-specific, validated, contextualised, and prioritised. You get fewer, better alerts that drive concrete defensive actions.
What does dark web monitoring cover?
Continuous monitoring of underground forums, criminal marketplaces, ransomware leak sites, breach corpora (Collection #1-5, COMB, recent dumps), Telegram cybercrime channels, and surface-web criminal indicators (e.g., Pastebin, GitHub leak posts).
How quickly are alerts delivered?
Critical alerts (e.g., your company on a ransomware leak site, executive credential found in a fresh breach) are delivered within 1-4 hours of analyst validation. Standard alerts within 24 hours. Weekly digest at agreed time. Monthly threat-actor reports on a fixed cadence.
How much does threat intelligence cost in the UK?
Baseline (SMB) £800-£1,500/month. Mid-market (most commonly commissioned) £1,500-£4,000/month. Enterprise £4,000+/month. Annual contracts with monthly billing. Setup fee of £1,500-£3,000 covers sector profiling and asset inventory.
Do you monitor for our brand and executive names?
Yes. We continuously monitor for mentions of your company name, brand variants, registered domains (and typosquats), executive names, and key employee email addresses across surface, deep, and dark web sources.
Can you provide alerts to our SOC tool?
Yes. We can deliver alerts via email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, ServiceNow, Jira, or custom webhook. For enterprise tier, we provide direct integration with your SIEM (Splunk, Sentinel, QRadar, Elastic) via API or syslog.
Does CTI satisfy ISO 27001 Annex A.5.7?
Yes. ISO 27001:2022 introduced A.5.7 (Threat Intelligence) as a new control. Our CTI deliverables (including the documented sector profile, alert workflow, and quarterly briefing) support the evidence you present at ISO 27001 audit.
Do you support DORA TLPT cycles?
Yes. Our CTI feeds directly into red team scenario design, using the same intelligence-led structure that threat-led testing programmes such as DORA, TIBER-EU, TIBER-UK, CBEST and STAR are built around. We frequently support regulated financial firms as the threat intelligence cell.
What about employees with personal email addresses on breach lists?
We can monitor employee personal emails (with consent, or via aliased corporate addresses) and notify your security team. Useful for executives and high-risk personnel where a personal-account breach can lead to corporate compromise.
Are your CTI analysts UK-based and what certifications do they hold?
All CTI analysts are vetted UK-based engineers. Relevant certifications: CREST CRT, GIAC GCTI, CompTIA CySA+, intelligence-community backgrounds. SC-cleared analysts available for public-sector engagements.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Standard NDA before any sector profile or asset inventory is shared. We operate under a project-specific master agreement that includes data handling, intelligence-sharing protocols, and breach notification clauses.
