I discuss the possibility that dark matter triggers one-loop initiated top quark FCNC decays. I exemplify the discussion by using a minimal model that extends the Standard Model with one colored scalar that resembles a right-handed up-type scalar quark and a right-handed fermion that plays the role of the dark-matter candidate. After discussing the possible current cosmological and collider constraints, I present a new search strategy that connects the two sectors at the HL-LHC. Future prospects are to be discussed in this talk.
