How do you reduce the risk?

Understanding your risks and validating your security are important first steps, but they only create value when followed by action. This stage focuses on strengthening the systems that protect your organisation every day. By implementing practical security improvements across identities, endpoints, servers and cloud environments, you reduce opportunities for attackers while building a stronger, more resilient security foundation.

Active Directory Tiering

Are privileged accounts separated from everyday work?

What may be happening

Administrative access is most exposed when the same account or device is used across systems with very different levels of trust. A compromised workstation can then become a route towards servers, domain administration and other critical assets. Separating those environments is technically important, but the model also has to work for the people who administer them.

How we work with you

We map the administrative roles, systems and working routines that currently depend on privileged access. From there, we design a tiering model that separates critical administration from lower-trust activity, with clear account boundaries and practical rules for how access should be used.

We support implementation with the relevant teams, resolving dependencies and documenting the model so it becomes part of daily administration rather than a diagram that is difficult to follow.

What you can act on

A tiering design based on your systems and administrative roles
Clear separation of privileged and standard access
Recommendations for accounts, devices and authentication
Implementation guidance for the teams affected
A documented model that can be maintained as the organisation changes
