Identity & Access Security

Identity is the modern perimeter. Once an attacker controls the right account, most other controls fall. We attack your identity infrastructure — on-prem Active Directory, Entra ID and federated SSO — to find and close the privilege-escalation paths that lead to domain or tenant takeover.

What identity and access testing covers

Active Directory penetration testing maps the paths from a standard domain user to domain admin — Kerberoasting, delegation abuse, ACL escalation and pass-the-hash. Entra ID (Azure AD) security assessment reviews the identity attack surface behind Microsoft 365 and Azure: roles, application consent, conditional access and managed identities. And OAuth, OIDC and SAML SSO security testing targets the login flows that unlock every connected application, from redirect and token handling to assertion validation. Together they cover on-prem, cloud and federated identity as one attack surface.

Why identity security matters

Attackers no longer break in — they log in. Compromised credentials, abused delegation and misconfigured SSO are behind a large share of major breaches, and hybrid identity multiplies the escalation paths between on-prem and cloud. Because identity controls access to everything else, a single flaw — an over-privileged role, a weak SSO redirect, a Kerberos misconfiguration — can hand an attacker the keys to your entire environment. Identity-focused testing finds these chains before an attacker does and gives you a tiered remediation plan aligned to a zero-trust roadmap.

How to choose the right service

If you run on-premises or hybrid Active Directory, start with an Active Directory penetration test. If your organization is Microsoft 365 and Azure-centric, prioritize an Entra ID security assessment. And if you build or integrate applications using OAuth, OpenID Connect or SAML, add SSO security testing to prevent account takeover through the login flow. Hybrid environments benefit from combining AD and Entra ID testing, since the boundary between them is a frequent source of escalation.

Frequently asked questions

Why is identity the top target for attackers?
Because controlling the right account grants access to everything else. Compromised credentials and identity misconfigurations bypass most other controls, making identity the fastest path to broad compromise.
Do you test hybrid Active Directory and Entra ID together?
Yes. Hybrid identity is a common source of privilege escalation, so we assess the on-prem and cloud sides together to find cross-environment attack paths.
Will identity testing lock out accounts?
No. We avoid aggressive brute-forcing and coordinate carefully to prevent account lockouts or disruption during the engagement.
