Mobilizing at a Moment’s Notice

There are a number of steps that must be taken to responsibly respond.

From the time you engage us, DAR coordinates with breach counsel, insurance, and IR to develop a plan of action. We move with speed and discipline to make sure nothing is overlooked. We are serial overthinkers, which benefits you.

Getting it wrong can mean fines, delays, or exposure. Getting it right means restoring control.

Our Reactive Services

Advanced Sanctions Screening

Every payment is screened against global sanctions lists—including OFAC, EU, UK, and more—ensuring compliance across jurisdictions and avoiding costly violations.

Avoiding Non-Compliant Payments

DAR’s process prevents funds from reaching sanctioned entities or unauthorized accounts, safeguarding your organization from secondary legal or financial risk.

Partnering with the Right Forensics Teams

We work directly with trusted DFIR teams to harness forensic intelligence (i.e. malware samples, IOCs, and TTPs). We ensure payments are made with the highest level of due diligence.

Crypto Wallet Management & Set-Up

DAR creates and manages secure cryptocurrency wallets, configured specifically for your case. Don’t be intimidated by extortion, so payments can be executed with confidence, speed, and transparency.

Threat Actor Attribution

Using advanced attribution and intelligence sources, we confirm who exactly you’re dealing with — helping avoid sanctions violations and providing critical clarity in negotiations.

Open Dialogue with Authorities

DAR maintains active communication channels with law enforcement and intelligence agencies worldwide. We help clients maintain their confidence, enforce accountability, and use the most up-to-date information available.

Where DAR Fits in the Cyber Extortion Ecosystem

Breach Coaches:

Engage DAR to ensure payment paths are compliant, validated, and defensible.

Incident Response & DFIR Teams:

Provide forensic data and threat intelligence that guide our sanctions checks and attribution.

Negotiators:

Handle dialogue with threat actors while DAR manages wallet creation, test transfers, and settlement.

Insurers:

Trust DAR to execute compliant payments that reduce risk for insured organizations.

Authorities & Regulators:

DAR maintains open communication with global agencies, aligning every payment with current legal standards.
