Active Directory Security Assessment

Active Directory remains the backbone of identity management for most enterprises - and one of the most targeted attack surfaces. Our AD Security Assessment identifies misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and legacy vulnerabilities that attackers exploit to move laterally and escalate privileges. Led by a former Microsoft Security Consulting team member with deep insider knowledge of Active Directory, we evaluate your on-premises AD, Azure AD (Entra ID), and hybrid configurations. Our assessment is benchmarked against two primary standards: the US Department of Defense Active Directory STIG (published by DISA) and Microsoft's comprehensive AD security documentation. No remote access or admin credentials required. The entire process uses screen-sharing with your IT team present for full visibility and control. Data collection takes 2-5 business days, with the final report delivered within one week. Full engagement typically spans 2-3 weeks. The output is a Step-by-Step AD Security Plan with prioritized, actionable remediation. We identify Domain Admin escalation paths - sequences of exploitation steps that allow attackers with low-privileged access to reach Domain Administrator level, enabling full domain control, credential extraction, and ransomware deployment.
