Consulting — Risk & Assessment

Vulnerability Assessment

Know your attack surface before an attacker does. A structured assessment across your network, endpoints, cloud infrastructure, and Active Directory — delivered with prioritized remediation guidance your team can act on immediately.

ENGAGEMENT TRIGGERS

When to engage

Vulnerability assessments are most valuable at predictable points — before a major change, after a security event, or when leadership needs a clear picture of current risk exposure.

No current view of your attack surface

Your organization hasn't conducted a structured vulnerability assessment recently. You don't have a clear, documented picture of what's exposed and what the highest-priority risks are.

Pre-cloud migration or infrastructure change

Before a major infrastructure change — cloud migration, network redesign, M&A integration — you need to understand the current security baseline and carry only necessary risk into the new environment.

Post-incident gap analysis

Following a security incident, you need an independent assessment to identify what vulnerabilities were exploited, what else remains exposed, and what needs to be addressed before the environment is considered clean.

Board or leadership requiring risk visibility

Leadership needs a documented, independent view of the organization's technical risk posture — something defensible to present to a board, an auditor, or a senior stakeholder requesting security accountability.

Active Directory hygiene concerns

You suspect your Active Directory has accumulated years of misconfiguration, excessive permissions, or legacy vulnerabilities — and you need a structured review before an attacker finds them first.

Annual or periodic security review

Regular vulnerability assessments are part of your security program. You need a structured, repeatable process that produces consistent, comparable results year over year.

SCOPE OF WORK

What the engagement covers

Assessments are scoped to your environment and risk priorities. Coverage spans network, endpoint, identity, and cloud — with depth determined by what matters most for your organization.

01 Internal & External Network Assessment

Structured vulnerability scanning and analysis across internal network infrastructure and external attack surface. Identifies exposed services, unpatched systems, misconfigurations, and network-level vulnerabilities — prioritized by exploitability and business impact.

01 Internal & External Network Assessment

02 Active Directory Security Assessment

In-depth review of Active Directory configuration — covering privileged account hygiene, group policy misconfigurations, Kerberoastable accounts, delegation issues, and legacy protocol exposure. AD vulnerabilities are consistently the most exploited path to domain compromise.

02 Active Directory Security Assessment

03 Cloud Security Posture Assessment

Systematic review of cloud environment configuration across Azure and AWS — identifying storage misconfiguration, IAM over-permission, publicly exposed resources, insecure network security groups, and cloud-native security control gaps.

03 Cloud Security Posture Assessment

04 Endpoint Security Configuration Review

Assessment of endpoint security controls — patch status, EDR coverage and policy configuration, attack surface reduction rules, application control, and local privilege management. Identifies gaps between your security tooling and the protection it's actually providing.

04 Endpoint Security Configuration Review

05 Identity & Access Review

Review of identity infrastructure including Entra ID, on-premises AD, and privileged access controls. Covers MFA enforcement gaps, excessive permissions, stale accounts, service account exposure, and conditional access policy weaknesses.

05 Identity & Access Review

06 Prioritized Remediation Report

A complete assessment report with full technical findings and an executive risk summary. Vulnerabilities are prioritized by severity and exploitability — not just CVSS score. Each finding includes a clear remediation recommendation your team can act on without needing external support.

OUR APPROACH

How an engagement runs

A structured, methodical process — from first contact through final report. No improvisation, no scope creep.

OUR APPROACH

How an engagement runs

Scoped, structured, and delivered with findings your team can actually use — not a raw scanner output dropped in your inbox.

Environment and telemetry review

We review your current SIEM configuration, data sources, and existing detection coverage. Understanding what telemetry is available — and what's missing — determines what hunts are possible and where blind spots exist.

Threat profile and hypothesis development

Based on your industry, environment, and any existing threat intelligence, we develop specific hunt hypotheses — targeted questions about attacker behavior we're going to answer using your data. Every hunt has a defined objective, not an open-ended scope.

Active hunting and KQL investigation

Hypothesis-driven queries are executed across your environment — pivoting through endpoint, identity, network, and cloud telemetry to surface anomalous behavior, attacker techniques, and secondary indicators of compromise that existing alerts missed.

Detection gap identification and rule creation

Any attacker technique uncovered during the hunt that isn't covered by existing detection logic becomes a new detection rule. Custom KQL analytics are written, validated, and deployed in Sentinel to close the gap permanently.

Findings report and detection handover

A complete hunt report documenting hypotheses tested, methodology, findings, and all new detection rules deployed. Hunting playbooks are handed over to your team so the capability continues after the engagement ends.
