By analyzing the configuration and settings within your Active Directory environment, an Active Directory security audit ensures that critical secure data regarding your systems and related user permissions are in place so that access to your environment and its resources remains protected.
You can identify weaknesses and misconfigurations that could be exploited by attackers and take steps to improve your security posture.
Investing in an Active Directory security audit can help prevent data breaches and protect against real-world threats.
Provide insight for those organizations who have a hybrid AD deployment (on-prem and Microsoft Entra ID).
We will work with your team to identify the best endpoints and user accounts from which to audit, ensuring we capture the most accurate snapshot of your environment.

Active Directory Security Audit assessments take 1-2 weeks, including report writing time.
You can expect to pay no less than $10,000 for this type of assessment.

Think of this assessment as a vulnerability scan for your AD—if you address the issues identified as a result of your AD security audit before your next internal network pen test, you’ll have fewer findings in that report.
Unlike those threat graphs, an AD security audit pulls data from multiple sources and combines it into one easy-to-interpret deliverable that provides a concise view of issues and remediation efforts required.
