Active Directory Hardening
Active Directory is the backbone of your organization's IT environment, and the number one target for attackers. We audit, remediate, and harden your AD with tiered admin models, GPO lockdowns, privilege access management, and systematic elimination of every exploitable attack path.
How we secure your identity infrastructure
AD hardening is surgical work. Every change is planned, tested, and validated before production deployment, because a misconfigured GPO can lock out your entire workforce.
AD Health Assessment
We perform a deep-dive audit of your Active Directory environment, replication health, DNS integrity, SYSVOL state, trust relationships, schema version, and functional levels. Every finding is documented and prioritized.
Threat Path Analysis
Using both automated tooling and manual analysis, we map every exploitable attack path in your environment, Kerberoasting targets, pass-the-hash opportunities, DCSync-capable accounts, and lateral movement chains.
Tiered Admin Model Design
We design and implement a tiered administrative model that separates domain admin, server admin, and workstation admin privileges, eliminating the single-compromise-to-domain-admin path that attackers exploit.
GPO Hardening
Every Group Policy Object is reviewed, consolidated, and hardened. We enforce LAPS, disable legacy protocols, configure audit policies, restrict credential caching, and lock down PowerShell execution across the domain.
Privilege Access Management
Service accounts are inventoried and migrated to managed service accounts where possible. Privileged access workstations are designed, MFA is integrated, and just-in-time access policies are configured.
Ongoing Monitoring
AD event logs are integrated into TITAN for real-time detection of credential attacks, privilege escalation, and anomalous authentication patterns. Your SOC gets purpose-built AD threat dashboards.
What we deliver
AD Health Audit
Comprehensive assessment of replication, DNS, SYSVOL, trusts, and schema, identifying misconfigurations that create risk and instability.
Attack Path Elimination
Identification and remediation of Kerberoasting, pass-the-hash, DCSync, and Golden Ticket attack vectors before adversaries find them.
Tiered Administrative Model
Implementation of Microsoft's recommended tier model, isolating domain, server, and workstation administration to contain credential exposure.
GPO Lockdown
Consolidation and hardening of Group Policy Objects to enforce security baselines, disable legacy protocols, and control software execution.
Stale Object Removal
Cleanup of disabled accounts, orphaned SIDs, abandoned computer objects, and legacy group memberships that expand your attack surface.
Service Account Cleanup
Inventory, rotation, and migration of service accounts to group managed service accounts, eliminating static passwords and Kerberoasting targets.
MFA Integration
Integration of multi-factor authentication for privileged access, VPN, and remote desktop, ensuring compromised passwords alone aren't enough.
Privileged Access Workstations
Design and deployment of hardened PAWs for Tier 0 and Tier 1 administration, with restricted network access and application whitelisting.
TITAN AD Monitoring
Real-time AD event correlation through TITAN, detecting credential abuse, privilege escalation, and lateral movement as they happen.
The right team for your AD security
We've Hardened AD for Dozens of Organizations
Critical infrastructure AD environments have unique challenges, shared service accounts for utility software, legacy SCADA integrations, and small IT teams. We've solved these problems before and we'll solve them for you.
Attack Path Experts, Not Just Auditors
Our engineers think like attackers. We don't just run a scanner and hand you a report, we manually validate every attack path, test every remediation, and prove the fix works.
We Don't Leave Until It's Working
AD hardening is hands-on engineering, not a consulting engagement. We implement every change, test every GPO, and stay until your environment is locked down and your team is trained.
Continuous Visibility Through TITAN
Every AD hardening project integrates with TITAN for ongoing monitoring. You don't just get a one-time fix, you get persistent visibility into credential attacks and privilege abuse.

Most breaches start with compromised credentials. Let our engineers harden your AD before attackers find the gaps.
