That's why we offer a comprehensive AD security review service to help you identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your AD environment and provide practical recommendations for remediation.

Identification and remediation of vulnerabilities

A comprehensive AD security review can help identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the system that could be exploited by Threat Actors. Our team of experienced professionals will conduct a thorough assessment of the AD environment, that’ll provide a detailed report on any security risks we identify, along with recommendations for remediation.

Going Above and Beyond

Our Active Directory Security Review is not just about meeting industry standards, but about working closely with our clients to understand their unique security needs and tailor our approach to exceed expectations.

Uncontrolled User Privileges

In many organisations, users have excessive permissions that may not be necessary for their job role, which can lead to potential security risks. Salus Cyber can help identify and remediate these excessive user privileges by performing a thorough analysis of user permissions, group memberships, and access controls within Active Directory.

Insufficient identity and access controls

A combinations of misconfigurations within Identity and Access controls can leave the network vulnerable to unauthorised access and misuse. Salus Cyber's AD security review can help identify weaknesses in the identity and access controls and provide recommendations for strengthening security measures to prevent unauthorised access and misuse of sensitive information.
