IDENTITY ASSESSMENT SCOPES

Comprehensive Active Directory scope matrix

Identity is the primary attack surface in modern enterprise breaches. We analyze Kerberos, AD CS, BloodHound attack graphs, and Entra ID hybrid sync to eliminate lateral movement.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

Six-phase Active Directory assessment methodology

Structured around MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise techniques for privilege escalation, credential access, lateral movement, and persistence.

01

Forest Discovery & Reconnaissance

Enumerate domain controllers, forest trusts, functional levels, organizational units (OUs), and trust direction without causing disruption.

02

Kerberos & Authentication Analysis

Identify accounts vulnerable to Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, unconstrained delegation, and legacy NTLM/RC4 authentication protocols.

03

BloodHound & ACL Graph Mapping

Collect and analyze Active Directory access control entries (ACEs) to uncover hidden transitive rights, ownership issues, and attack paths.

04

AD CS & Infrastructure Hardening

Audit Active Directory Certificate Services templates, GPO modification permissions, SYSVOL scripts, and LAPS deployment coverage.

05

Hybrid Identity & Cloud Trust Review

Inspect Microsoft Entra Connect architecture, password synchronization security, and federation trusts for cross-environment pivot risks.

06

Remediation & Tier 0 Architecture Plan

Deliver prioritized remediation roadmaps, PowerShell fix scripts, Group Policy hardening templates, and a Tier 0 architecture blueprint.

Active Directory questions answered

No. Our assessment methodology is read-only and non-intrusive. Data collection is performed via standard LDAP queries, BloodHound ingestors, and PowerShell audit commands that place negligible load on Domain Controllers. No intrusive exploitation is performed in production without prior change-window authorization.
