Active Directory Security Review
before attackers map it

An in-depth review of Active Directory and Entra ID configuration, privileges and attack paths that lead to full domain compromise.

How we help

Active Directory is the main target in most ransomware attacks. We analyse privileges, delegations, Group Policy, Kerberos settings and hybrid identity to find the paths an attacker would use, and show how to break them.

Privileged group and delegation analysis

Attack path mapping to domain admin

Kerberos, NTLM and legacy protocol review

Hybrid identity and Entra ID connection review

  1. Set objectives

    Agree goals, scope, rules of engagement and safety controls with a small trusted group.

  2. Gather intelligence

    Research your organisation, people and exposed systems as an attacker would.

  3. Execute the operation

    Pursue objectives using realistic tactics while avoiding detection.

  4. Debrief and replay

    Walk defenders through every step and help them improve detection and response.
