Identity Security

Identity is where access, privilege and business risk converge.

Vigilant Crest evaluates how identities are created, authenticated, privileged, monitored and protected across Active Directory, Entra ID and hybrid environments.

ENTRY ENGAGEMENT

Identity Exposure Review

A focused review for organizations that need an independent view of their most meaningful identity risks without beginning with a full-scale assessment.

Designed to answer: Where are we exposed? Are our controls effective? What should we fix first?

Typical scope

  • MFA and Conditional Access coverage
  • Privileged account practices
  • Service accounts and non-human identities
  • Legacy authentication exposure
  • Selected AD / Entra configurations
  • Identity lifecycle and monitoring controls

Deliverables

  • Executive Identity Exposure Summary
  • Top risks and prioritized recommendations
  • Six-domain exposure scorecard
  • 30/90/180-day roadmap
  • Executive and technical readout
FLAGSHIP ASSESSMENT

Identity Security Assessment

A deeper assessment of architecture, authentication, privilege, lifecycle, non-human identity, controls and attack exposure.

  • AD / Entra / hybrid identity architecture
  • MFA, Conditional Access and legacy authentication
  • Administrative privilege and access models
  • Service accounts, applications and non-human identities
  • Identity attack exposure and control effectiveness
  • Identity detection and response capabilities
Comprehensive Assessment

Go deeper when the environment or risk demands it.

The full Identity Security Assessment is designed for organizations ready to evaluate identity security systematically and develop a multi-phase improvement roadmap.

Customer deliverables

  • Executive Identity Risk Report
  • Identity Security Scorecard
  • Prioritized Risk Register
  • Technical Findings Report
  • Identity Control Gap Analysis
  • 30/90/180-day remediation roadmap
  • Executive findings presentation
Six Assessment Domains

Structured enough to be repeatable. Flexible enough to fit the environment.

Identity Architecture

Directories, tenants, federation, synchronization, trusts and authentication dependencies.

Authentication

MFA, passwordless, Conditional Access, exceptions and legacy authentication.

Privileged Access

Administrative identities, standing privilege, separation, PIM/PAM and emergency access.

Non-Human Identity

Service accounts, application identities, secrets, ownership, privilege and credential lifecycle.

Identity Lifecycle

Joiner/mover/leaver, dormant identities, access reviews and ownership.

Detection & Response

Visibility into suspicious authentication, privilege changes and identity-based attack activity.
