Active Directory Security Assessment

Active Directory (AD) is the backbone of identity for 90%+ of enterprise environments globally — 
and it’s the number-one target for attackers. Techniques like Pass-the-Hash, Kerberoasting, and 
DCSync have made unreviewed AD configurations a critical liability in 2024–2025.
Active Directory Security Assessment for privilege escalation and identity security analysis

Key Benefits

•Identification of Kerberoastable accounts, AS-REP roasting, and delegation abuse 
•Review of privileged groups, admin accounts, and lateral movement paths 
•BloodHound-style attack path mapping across your AD environment 
•Group Policy and ACL misconfiguration analysis 
•Step-by-step hardening guide aligned with Microsoft and CIS AD benchmarks

What We Do

Securiglobe’s Active Directory Security Assessment examines your AD environment for 
misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and attack vectors that adversaries routinely 
exploit. We test your AD the way a real attacker would then provide a detailed remediation 
plan to harden it against current threats. 

How It Helps Your Business

A compromised AD gives an attacker the keys to your entire organization. Securing it is one of 
the highest-impact actions any enterprise can take and Securiglobe’s assessment shows you 
exactly where the risk lies. 

Active Security Components

Passive and active discovery of all connected devices including shadow IT devices that are not in official asset registers

Extraction and analysis of device firmware to identify hardcoded credentials, known CVEs, and insecure code

Systematic testing for unchanged manufacturer default usernames and passwords across all discovered devices

Review of how IoT devices are isolated from IT systems VLAN separation, firewall rules, and lateral movement paths

Analysis of device communication protocols (MQTT, CoAP, Modbus, BACnet) for encryption and authentication weaknesses

Security review of device admin portals, APIs, and remote management interfaces

Assessment of physical access to devices, USB ports, debug interfaces, and JTAG access

How Active Security Works

Planning & Objective Setting

We onboard your environment, establish monitoring baselines, configure threat hunting playbooks, and define your attack surface perimeter.

Open Source Intelligence

Your environment is monitored around the clock by our SOC analysts, with real-time alerting for confirmed or suspected threats.

Initial Access

Our analysts conduct structured threat hunting exercises each month proactively looking for evidence of threats that have evaded automated detection.

Planning & Objective Setting

Weekly external attack surface scans identify new exposed assets, certificate issues, and newly discovered vulnerabilities relevant to your organisation.

Open Source Intelligence

Monthly vulnerability scan review and remediation tracking we work with your team to close vulnerabilities in a prioritised, managed way.

Initial Access

Quarterly review session with your CISO or IT lead covering threat landscape, programme performance, risk posture, and upcoming priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Active Security different from SOC as a Service?

SOC as a Service focuses on monitoring and detection. Active Security is a broader programme that adds proactive threat hunting, attack surface management, vulnerability lifecycle management, and strategic advisory a more complete ongoing security capability.

Yes. We integrate with your existing SIEM, EDR, and vulnerability scanner rather than replacing them. We bring the expertise and programme structure to make those tools deliver their full value.

Active Security is structured as an annual programme to allow for proper baseline establishment and continuous improvement. We offer quarterly reviews with the option to adjust scope.

Deliverables

  • Complete IoT asset inventory with device details and risk classification
  • Vulnerability assessment report with CVSS-rated findings
  • Network segmentation gap analysis and recommendations
  • Default credential exposure report
  • Firmware vulnerability summary
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap with operational impact considerations

Who Is This For?

  • Organisations that have invested in security tools but lack the team to use them proactively
  • CISOs who need to demonstrate a proactive security posture to boards and regulators
  • Enterprises that have experienced repeated incidents and want to shift from reactive to proactive
  • Companies with sensitive data or critical infrastructure that require continuous protection
  • Regulated organisations that need a demonstrable, auditable ongoing security programme
