Active
Directory Security Assessment
Greater control and security: your Active Directory security check.
Targeted elimination of security risks in your Active Directory through in-depth analysis with PingCastle and expert evaluation
Tailor-made recommendations for action prioritized according to effort and criticality
Holistic support from analysis to implementation
The Active Directory (AD) is the heart of your IT infrastructure and manages central identities, access rights and central security functions. However, it is precisely this central role that makes it a preferred target for cyberattacks. There are hidden vulnerabilities in many environments that often go unnoticed in everyday life – and therefore represent a potential gateway for attacks.
A targeted security assessment provides clarity: it shows where risks exist, how they should be prioritized and what measures are necessary to sustainably secure your environment. This allows you to strengthen your security architecture - in a well-founded, comprehensible manner and tailored to your specific infrastructure.
Is your AD resilient?
SECURITY FACTORY | IDENTIFY | ACTIVE DIRECTORY SECURITY ASSESSMENT
Our two-step approach for maximum security
Comprehensive analysis with PingCastle Auditor Edition
We carry out a detailed security analysis of your Active Directory, supported by the PingCastle Auditor Edition tool. The data is collected in a short joint session. The analysis and evaluation usually takes 2 - 4 hours. Optionally, we also offer regular assessments, e.g. quarterly.

Customized action planning and implementation
Our security experts systematically analyze the results of the assessment and identify specific vulnerabilities and potential attack surfaces in your Active Directory environment. We subsequently work with you to develop an action plan tailored to your organization that takes both technical and organizational requirements into account.
The identified risks are prioritized according to criticality and effort – with the aim of quickly implementing effective and sustainable improvements. We provide you with complete support: from technical implementation and policy adjustments to securing critical AD objects. We are also at your side after implementation and check together whether the measures taken have had the desired effect.

Your benefit –
our added value
At Possehl Secure, we combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of the requirements of medium-sized IT infrastructures. Our Active Directory Security Assessment is far more than just an automated scan – it is an in-depth security check carried out by experienced specialists who not only identify vulnerabilities, but also evaluate them in the context of your overall architecture.
We provide clear, prioritized recommendations and, if desired, accompany you through all phases of improvement – from planning and implementation to sustainable protection. You benefit from a structured approach, transparent processes and practical advice.
The result: a strengthened security architecture, reduced risk of attacks on your identity infrastructure – and the confidence that your AD environment is strategically positioned and future-proof.
On request, we can extend the focus beyond the local Active Directory: With a compact Microsoft 365 Assessment in accordance with the guidelines of the CIS (Center of Internet Security), we analyze your M365 environment - and uncover potential weaknesses in identities, roles and configurations. The time and effort: less than one day, the added value: significant.
