Identify. Exploit. Secure Identity Infrastructure.
Active Directory VAPT
At Cyberintelsys Consulting Services, we provide specialized Active Directory Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (AD VAPT) services designed to uncover and remediate security gaps in enterprise identity infrastructure. Our experts simulate real-world attack scenarios to test how resilient your Active Directory is against privilege escalation, credential abuse, and domain takeover.
Active Directory VAPT is a simulated cyberattack against the AD environment, performed in a controlled and authorized manner. It identifies exploitable misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and authentication weaknesses that can lead to unauthorized access and domain-wide compromise.
Objective: Prevent adversaries from using AD as a launchpad for lateral movement, persistence, and full-domain compromise.
Privilege Escalation Detection
Discovers paths from low-privilege users to Domain Admin through misconfigured permissions, groups, or delegation.
Credential Exposure Identification
Finds exposed or weak credentials, service account misuse, and insecure password storage practices.
Attack Path Visualization
Maps logical relationships and permissions in AD that attackers can exploit to escalate and move laterally.
Compliance Alignment
Supports cybersecurity compliance with standards like ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, and CIS Benchmarks.

Our structured, step-by-step process ensures every API vulnerability is identified, risks are prioritized, and your business remains protected against emerging threats. From initial engagement to retesting, we help you secure your APIs effectively.
1. Initial Consultation & Scope Finalization
Understand your AD setup, critical assets, and compliance needs. Define user roles, accounts, and systems in scope.
2. Environment Mapping
Use tools like BloodHound, PowerView, and ADRecon to map trust relationships, group memberships, and access control.
3. Privilege Escalation Path Analysis
Identify vulnerable paths to privileged accounts such as Domain Admin or Enterprise Admin using ACL analysis and graph theory.
4. Service Account & GPO Testing
Detect weak service account permissions, SPNs, hardcoded passwords, and vulnerable GPO configurations.
5. Simulated Exploitation
Simulate techniques like AS-REP Roasting, Kerberoasting, Overpass-the-Hash, DCSync, and AdminSDHolder abuse in a safe test plan.
6. Reporting & Risk Prioritization
Provide actionable reports that include:
- Vulnerability list and severity
- Reproduction steps
- Attack path diagrams
- Hardening roadmap
7. Remediation Support & Retesting
Assist your team in implementing fixes, provide validation testing, and suggest long-term improvements to reduce risk.
