Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about Active Directory Security Audit

What is the CIS Benchmark and why is it important for Active Directory security?

The CIS Benchmark is a set of guidelines developed by the Center for Internet Security that serve as standard best practices for configuring IT systems. For Active Directory security, the CIS Benchmark offers detailed security recommendations to help minimize the risk of attacks and ensure data integrity and confidentiality. Using these guidelines allows organizations to maintain a high level of protection for their Active Directory environments, which is key to securing their entire IT infrastructure from potential threats.

What are the main benefits of conducting a CIS Benchmark-compliant Active Directory audit?

Conducting a CIS Benchmark compliant Active Directory audit has many benefits, including identifying and eliminating configuration vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit. The audit also helps ensure compliance with industry security standards and regulations. As a result, an organization can reduce the risk of security incidents, increase the trust of customers and business partners, and optimize the management of privileges and access to key resources.

What is the process of conducting an Active Directory security audit?

The Active Directory security audit process begins with an initial consultation, during which we define the scope of the audit and the specific needs of the organization. We then conduct a detailed analysis of the Active Directory configuration, verifying compliance with CIS Benchmark guidelines. Our team of experts identifies potential security vulnerabilities, evaluates privilege management and monitors security policies. Once the analysis is complete, we prepare a report containing the audit results and practical recommendations for improving the configuration and implementing security best practices.

Will the audit affect our infrastructure operations and service availability?

The Active Directory security audit is conducted in a way that minimizes the impact on the organization's daily operations. Our team works in close coordination with IT to schedule audit activities during off-peak hours or designated service windows. This allows us to perform the necessary analysis and testing without disrupting service availability. The main goal is to assess security, not to interfere with infrastructure operations.

What are the most common vulnerabilities and weaknesses in Active Directory that you identify during an audit?

During an Active Directory security audit, we often identify vulnerabilities such as inadequate privilege management, lack of regular updates and patches, weak password policies, inadequate group configurations, and lack of proper monitoring and logging of user activity. Other common problems include inadequate control of access to key resources, lack of network segmentation and insufficient physical security of servers. Identifying these weaknesses allows you to make the necessary changes to improve security.

What recommendations will we receive after the audit?

Upon completion of the audit, we prepare a detailed report that includes the results of the analysis and specific recommendations for improving Active Directory configuration. Recommendations may include implementing stronger password policies, improving privilege management, implementing advanced monitoring and logging mechanisms, and segregating networks to restrict access to key resources. Additionally, we suggest regular updates and training for staff on security best practices.

How often should we conduct an Active Directory security audit?

It is recommended that an Active Directory security audit be conducted according to the organization's schedule, usually at least once a year. The frequency of audits can be increased if significant changes are made to the IT infrastructure, new threats emerge, or significant non-compliance is detected during previous audits. Regular audits help maintain a high level of security and respond quickly to changing conditions and threats.

What are the costs associated with conducting an audit?

The cost of an Active Directory security audit depends on several factors, such as the size and complexity of your IT environment, the scope of the audit, the number of systems and processes to be evaluated, and your organization's specific requirements. After an initial consultation, we prepare a customized offer tailored to your company's needs and budget. An investment in an audit translates into significant benefits in the form of increased security and minimized risk of cyber incidents.

Elementrica conducted a penetration test of our DataPortal system. From the very first meeting, we were positively impressed by the company representative’s collaborative approach. Each subsequent meeting strengthened our trust in the testing team, who demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the process, commitment, and creativity. Elementrica effectively identified key areas for improvement, enabling us to implement the necessary corrective actions. The test report was detailed and precise and included practical recommendations, significantly reducing the time needed to implement fixes. The testers managed their time and resources exceptionally well, allowing them to explore areas not directly related to the tested system yet still completing the work on schedule. I am pleased to recommend Elementrica for their excellent execution of the task.
