Active Directory Assessment

Active Directory (AD) Assessment

Secure the backbone of your IT infrastructure with our comprehensive Active Directory Security Assessment. Our expert team will thoroughly evaluate your Active Directory environment to identify potential security gaps, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities that could lead to credential theft and unauthorized access.

Why Active Directory Security Assessment is Essential

Active Directory is a critical component of your IT infrastructure, managing user identities, access rights, and network resources. A compromised Active Directory can have severe consequences, including:

  • Data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information
  • Disruption of business operations and system downtime
  • Compliance violations and reputational damage

Our assessment aims to uncover and address these risks before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

What Our Assessment Covers

Our comprehensive assessment covers the following key areas of your Active Directory environment:

  • Review of Active Directory forest and domain configuration, including trusts and authentication
  • Analysis of privileged accounts, groups, and their membership
  • Evaluation of domain controller configuration and management
  • Assessment of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) settings and permissions
  • Review of service accounts with elevated permissions
  • Examination of organizational unit (OU) permissions, focusing on top-level domain OUs
  • Audit of domain controller security settings and recommendations for hardening
  • Review of Azure AD integration components, such as Azure AD Connect (if applicable)

Our Assessment Methodology

Our team of experienced security professionals follows a proven methodology to assess the security of your Active Directory environment:

  1. Discovery and Information Gathering
    • Collect information about your Active Directory environment, including domain structure, trust relationships, and user accounts
    • Identify potential attack surfaces and entry points
  2. Security Configuration Review
    • Assess the configuration of Active Directory components, including domain controllers, GPOs, and OUs
    • Identify misconfigurations, weak security settings, and deviations from best practices
  3. Privileged Access Analysis
    • Review privileged accounts, groups, and their permissions
    • Identify accounts with excessive privileges and potential paths for privilege escalation
  4. Vulnerability Scanning and Testing
    • Perform targeted vulnerability scans on domain controllers and other critical Active Directory components
    • Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to determine their potential impact
  5. Reporting and Remediation Guidance
    • Provide a detailed report of our findings, including identified vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security gaps
    • Offer prioritized recommendations for remediation and guidance on implementing security best practices

Throughout the assessment process, we adhere to industry standards and best practices, ensuring a thorough and systematic approach to evaluating your Active Directory security posture.
