See who has access to what. Tighten it.
46% of compromised systems with corporate logins were non-managed or BYOD. Access sprawl is a bigger risk than almost any specific vulnerability. Many employees have access to far more than their job requires. That's risk you can reduce without buying anything new, just by seeing clearly what exists today. Verizon DBIR 2025, SMB Snapshot
Building a complete map of accounts across your productivity platforms, major SaaS applications, critical on-premise systems, and infrastructure. Active accounts, inactive accounts, service accounts, shared mailboxes, and external guest accounts. Most organizations discover 15 to 30 percent more active accounts than they expected, many tied to former employees, expired contractor engagements, or test accounts that were never decommissioned.
Identifying every account with elevated access. Global admins, domain admins, local admins on endpoints, service accounts with broad permissions, and shared credentials. Assessing whether privileged access follows least-privilege principles, whether admin accounts are separated from daily-use accounts, and whether privileged access is time-limited or standing. Excessive standing privilege is the single fastest path for an attacker to move from initial access to full compromise.
Comparing actual permissions against job function to identify over-provisioned accounts, roles that have drifted as employees changed positions, and access that accumulated over years without review. Common findings include users with admin access to systems they haven't touched in months, broad file share permissions exposing sensitive directories to the entire organization, and third-party application grants with more access than their function requires.
Auditing MFA enforcement across every system that supports it. Identifying gaps where MFA is available but not enforced, exceptions where users or groups are excluded from policies, and weak methods like SMS-only that are vulnerable to interception. Evaluating whether your conditional access policies are triggering on the right signals and whether your configuration is resistant to MFA fatigue attacks where an attacker floods a user with push notifications until they approve one.
Evaluating how access is granted when someone joins, how it changes when they move roles, and how it's revoked when they leave. Most organizations handle joiners reasonably well, handle movers poorly where access accumulates but is rarely reduced, and handle leavers inconsistently where accounts get disabled in some systems and overlooked in others. We document the current process, identify the gaps, and recommend a lifecycle your HR and IT teams can maintain without manual effort every time someone changes status.
30% of infostealer-compromised systems were enterprise-licensed devices. Personal device habits become company breaches. Verizon DBIR 2025, SMB Snapshot
54% of ransomware victims had their corporate domains appear in credential dumps. The attacker already has the keys. The audit is how you change the locks. Verizon DBIR 2025, SMB Snapshot
Every finding with the specific accounts, systems, and permissions involved. Each includes the risk it creates, the recommended action, and the priority level. Organized so your IT team can work through it starting with the highest-risk items first.
A phased plan grouping related findings into work packages. Phase one covers immediate risks like disabling orphaned accounts, enforcing MFA, and removing unnecessary admin privileges. Phase two covers structural improvements like role-based access redesign, conditional access policy tuning, and automated provisioning. Each phase includes estimated effort and suggested timelines.
We can work alongside your IT team to execute the remediation, including disabling accounts, adjusting permissions, configuring conditional access policies, and setting up automated access reviews. Knowledge transfer included so your team understands the reasoning behind each change.
