Identity Breaches Are Now Insurance Liabilities
Identity systems have become one of the easiest—and most expensive—attack surfaces to exploit. From ransomware actors abusing Active Directory trusts to cloud attackers bypassing Entra ID conditional access, every credential is a potential coverage risk.
eSureITy’s Entra ID Penetration Testing and Active Directory Audit services identify hidden vulnerabilities that lead to security incidents, compliance violations, and insurance claim disputes. We pinpoint where identity controls fail and deliver a plan that strengthens your environment and your insurability.
The Risk Landscape — IAM Failures That Drive Claims
Most breaches start with compromised credentials or misconfigured identity systems. Common exposures include:
- Active Directory Domain Misconfigurations— Stale accounts, unpatched GPOs, and legacy trusts that create lateral movement paths.
- Entra ID Security Gaps— Weak MFA enforcement, broad admin roles, and conditional access loopholes.
- Privilege Overprovisioning— Excessive local admin privileges and shadow IT accounts that expand attack surfaces.
- Cloud-to-On-Prem Trust Flaws— Insecure hybrid integrations exposing AD to Entra-based compromise.
- Governance Gaps— No formal IAM maturity framework to prove compliance or readiness to insurers.
These vulnerabilities not only increase breach likelihood but also create documentation gaps that insurers use to deny or limit payouts.
eSureITy’s Assessment Framework
We combine penetration testing precision with insurance-grade governance. Our experts evaluate identity security across both on-prem Active Directory and Azure Entra ID environments using a structured, three-phase approach:
Discovery & Mapping
- Examine AD forests, domains, trusts, and Entra ID configurations.
- Identify misconfigurations, policy drift, and privilege escalation vectors.
Penetration Testing & Risk Scoring
- Simulate real-world attacks against IAM systems to uncover exploitable paths.
- Assign quantified risk scores aligned with insurer and compliance frameworks.
Governance & Maturity Review
- Benchmark IAM processes using a CMMI-inspired maturity model.
- Provide an actionable roadmap to improve both control strength and insurance readiness.
Testing & Audit Scope
Our Entra ID Penetration Testing and Active Directory Audit covers:
- Active Directory Security Audit— Review domain health, GPOs, replication topology, and stale or privileged accounts.
- Entra ID Penetration Testing— Identify exploitable configurations in MFA, conditional access, app permissions, and role assignments.
- Hybrid Trust Evaluation— Map AD–Entra ID relationships, validating security controls across hybrid environments.
- Workstation Privilege Review— Detect excessive or inherited local admin privileges and endpoint vulnerabilities.
- IAM Risk Quantification— Deliver insurer-aligned scoring of identity and access management exposure.
