A system and method are provided for assessing whether data files contain sensitive information associated with an entity. The system stores search keywords associated with the entity, generates search terms based on the search keywords, and searches one or more online public databases for data files associated with each search term. The system then generates risk scores for data files in the search results indicating a likelihood that the data files contain information from a data breach associated with the entity. The system identifies data files that contain information from the data breach from the generated risk scores, and transmits a notification to the entity describing the identified data files.

Risk assessment system for identifying data files with sensitive information

A breach detection engine detects and mitigates the effects of breaches across one or more data sources. An index is generated based on one or more data sources and the index is queried using keywords indicative of potential breaches. A database of potential breaches is populated based on the query of the index. The potential breach database is queried using keywords associated with a system identity (e.g., a third party). A likelihood of a candidate breach is identified based on a set of breach criteria weights. A network node associated with a candidate breach determined to be an actual breach is identified for isolation or for the performance of one or more additional security actions.
