AD assessment, run on Resonate, our in-house platform

Automated checks
We build security into the architecture, alongside your IT team.
Your IT team stays in charge of its systems. Our focus is Active Directory security and admin tiering. We bring a clean architecture and controls that have held up in real enterprise environments. From that work we have defined three defence pillars we consider essential in modern IT security.
Three pillars · one architecture
Identity, isolation and assurance.
We focus on three areas and cover each one in depth, from design to day-to-day operation.
Admin credentials are the most valuable target in any environment. We protect them with proven security controls and isolate Tier-0, so a compromised workstation cannot reach domain controllers, PKI or identity infrastructure.
◆
Microsoft admin tiering & PAWTier-0 isolation, privileged workstations, legacy-auth cleanup.
◆
Privileged Access ManagementVaulting, rotation, session proxying, full audit trails. EPM least-privilege on workstations.
◆
Secure remote accessMFA on every connection, access granted per system, every session recorded. Built for vendors, without handing out VPN accounts.
Pillar 02 · Network Isolation
Host-based segmentation for every server and workstation.
Perimeter firewalls are still necessary, but once an attacker is inside they do little. Host-based firewalling isolates every machine by default. A label-based policy layer turns intent into rules that adjust automatically as the environment changes, and a visualisation layer maps the thousands of flows that never pass a network firewall.
◆
Host-based zero-trust segmentationEvery host isolated; communication only on explicitly permitted paths.
◆
Label-based policyRules follow the workload instead of the subnet, which keeps them maintainable at scale.
◆
Certified segmentation specialistsDeployed on-premises or as SaaS. Includes a map of the traffic that was previously invisible.
Pillar 03 · Secure Configuration Monitoring
Continuous checks of AD, PKI and cloud configuration.
We run curated test and hardening catalogues against your environment on an ongoing basis, rank findings by how far an attacker could get with them and re-test to confirm each fix holds. The engine behind it is Resonate, which we develop ourselves.
◆
Continuous assessmentAD, GPO, certificates and cloud. New exposure is flagged as soon as it appears.
◆
Prioritised by exploitabilityThe five findings that chain to Domain Admin, not the two thousand that don't.
◆
Integrated vulnerability scanningOptional CVE coverage, pulled into one findings list.
The engine behind the assessments we run for you, with read-only access to your environment.
Resonate analyses the configuration that decides how far an attacker can move once inside: ACLs, GPO coverage, admin tiering, and AD and Entra hardening, on-premises and in the cloud.

01
The lifecycle loop
Assess → prioritise → remediate → re-validate. Automated and manual findings in one place, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and CIS v8, and tracked until they are closed.
MITRECIS v8
02
Deep configuration analysis
ACLs, GPO coverage and admin tiering modelled properly: deny precedence, inheritance scope, allowlists for legitimate defaults. Anyone can dump settings; the hard part is knowing which ones matter.

AD attack-technique detection
Read-only checks for the techniques attackers use against AD: Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, DCSync, unconstrained and RBCD delegation, SID-history abuse.

AD CS / PKI: ESC1–ESC15
Certificate-based domain-takeover coverage, evaluated per template and per CA, with the abusable principals named. Most off-the-shelf scanners don't cover this area.

05
On-premises and cloud hardening
AD and Entra/Azure hardening in one findings list, covering tenant policy, privileged roles and workload-identity exposure. Cloud access runs through a read-only Graph app that you own and can revoke at any time.
Entra IDARM RBAC
06
Attack-path coverage, end to end
We trace escalation across AD, Entra, PKI, IT infrastructure and client hardening, and rank each finding by the impact an attacker could reach through it.
AD → Entrareachable impact
How Resonate runs: a customer-controlled, agent-based collector · read-only access to AD, GPO & Entra · tiering-aware collection (optional) · the portal is never exposed to the public internet.
The team
You talk to the engineer who does the work.

Security Architect
Direct line to the engineer
There is no account manager in between. You speak to the person who knows your environment.
We fix what we find
We work through findings with your team and re-test to show they stay fixed.
40+ years of combined operations experience
Helpdesk, sysadmin, security architect, team lead, MSP: we have run the kind of systems we now secure.
What an assessment looks like
For organisations from around 200 employees up to global enterprises.
01
Assessment day
We assess Active Directory and the systems attached to it in one day, together with your team.
02
Analysis on our side
Analysis and report writing take longer, but happen on our side. Your team's time isn't needed for it.
03
Report and recommendations
You receive the full report and a summary with recommendations.

We don't publish client names.
We work with organisations across the sectors below. Our clients hire us for the work, and how they secure their environment stays between us. If you would like to speak to an existing client, we can arrange a reference call under NDA.
Our own evening event in Innsbruck, built around technical talks. Our team covered host-based firewalling, Active Directory hardening, zero trust microsegmentation and the blast radius of a compromised administrator. Partners spoke on attacks against hardened environments, NIS2 and DORA compliance, and containing breaches before they spread. The event was fully booked, and we plan to run it again.
Summer 2026 · Partner anniversary
Speaking on Secure by Design at a 20-year anniversary
At the 20th-anniversary event of a long-standing IT partner, we spoke on Secure by Design: building controls into the architecture rather than adding them afterwards. Starting from what uncontrolled external access looks like in practice, the talk showed how identity, segmentation and least-privilege design reduce the attack surface to something you can govern.
Autumn 2025 · DACH
A 3-day in-house security workshop
A three-day workshop at a customer's production site in the DACH region, with nearly 30 participants from across the organisation. Topics: identity protection, network segmentation, vulnerability analysis and real breach scenarios, from how attacks unfold to how they are stopped.
