The Problem

You find out too late.

A departing employee copies your client database to their new employer. An active employee abuses their access. A partner exploits your data out of contract. A breach exposes your data on the dark web.

The delay is weeks, sometimes months, if you find out at all. The damage is done, evidence has vanished, and your company's legal liability is on the line under GDPR and data protection regulations.

Key Use Cases

When DataBait protects you

From outright theft to non-compliant use: DataBait covers the four scenarios that threaten your customer data.

Rogue employee

Detect and prove the misuse of your data from the first email or SMS received.

Rogue partner

Spot reuse, resale, or out-of-contract sharing from the very first use.

External breach

Get alerted the moment your data is detected on the dark web, before it's used against your customers.

Compliance

Uncover compliance failures: sender-policy violations, repurposed data, subcontractors overreaching the DPA.

How It Works

Five steps to bulletproof evidence

From undetectable fictitious user accounts to court-ready proof: fully automated, zero changes to your systems.

Pipeline fully operated by DataBait, with zero operational overhead for your teams. You alone decide on follow-up.

  1. Inject

    DataBait injects undetectable fictitious user accounts into your client databases, algorithmically generated from public statistical datasets (INSEE, IRIS, BDNB), without LLM or hallucination, with real, active email addresses and phone numbers. Data and constraints are customizable to match your database schema.

  2. Monitor

    Dedicated inboxes and mobile numbers are monitored 24/7. Any email or SMS to a fictitious user account means someone exfiltrated or misused your data. No structural false positives: the account doesn't exist, so any contact is necessarily a real signal.

  3. Dark web scanning

    Continuous dark web scanning watches for your fictitious user accounts across forums, marketplaces and leaked dumps. If one surfaces, you know your data has been compromised, even without direct contact.

  4. Alert

    Instant alert with full forensic metadata: sender, headers, timestamps, email source, SMS content, and call logs. Each alert is auto-qualified by type (spam, phishing, data breach, partner non-compliance, internal misuse) so you know what you're looking at before opening it.

  5. Prove

    Two-layer proof: qualified eIDAS timestamping issued by a French QTSP listed on the EU Trusted List, and a sworn commissaire de justice (judicial officer) report, admissible under French law and compliant with EU evidentiary standards.
