Need one phishing site taken down — not an enterprise platform? Core Sentinel is a focused Bolster alternative for a single, urgent takedown: flat $500 USD, senior analyst, neutralized within 72 hours of analyst approval (excluding weekends and public holidays) or your money back.

When an enterprise platform is overkill
Bolster is an AI-automated brand-protection platform: high-speed automated detection and takedown at scale across web, social, app stores and the dark web, sold to organisations as a subscription with continuous monitoring. (Bolster also runs a free CheckPhish scanner, which analyses URLs but doesn’t perform takedowns.) If you need always-on monitoring across thousands of assets, that platform model is a genuine fit. If you just have one fake site live right now, you don’t need a platform contract.

How a Core Sentinel takedown works
- Submit the URL. Paste the phishing link and a few details — about sixty seconds, no account needed.
- We investigate and report. A senior analyst builds the evidence case and reports it to the host, the domain registrar and registry, the CDN, and the major browser safe-browsing providers, and notifies regional cybercrime reporting centres. Users are protected within hours via global safe-browsing blocklists.
- Track it live. Watch progress on your private dashboard, from first report to confirmed result.
- Neutralized — plus monitoring. We confirm the site is no longer reachable as a live phishing page and send an evidence report. Every takedown includes 7-day resurrection monitoring after removal; add Watch ($900) to extend monitoring to 30 days with new-clone detection — if the same page returns (or a new clone of your brand appears) within your Watch window, we take it down again at no extra charge.
The guarantee
If we can’t neutralize the reported phishing site within 72 hours of analyst approval — excluding weekends and public holidays — you pay nothing, full refund. A senior analyst starts the same business day. Some abuse-resistant hosts are outside any provider’s control; if your case is one of those, we tell you before you pay.
When Bolster may be the better fit
If you need org-wide, always-on monitoring across thousands of domains, social accounts and app-store listings — with automated detection feeding a continuous takedown pipeline — a managed platform like Bolster may be the right fit. Core Sentinel is for the other situation: “a fake version of my site is live right now and I need it down.” For that, we’re flat-priced and money-back-backed.
