Identity Security Solutions: Microsoft & CyberArk
Secure hybrid identity across Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, CyberArk PAM, Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel. Identity is now the primary control plane for enterprise security. Attackers target users, service accounts, privileged roles, legacy authentication paths, misconfigured Active Directory permissions and weak privileged access workflows to move from initial access to business impact.
ServQual helps organizations design, secure, validate and continuously improve hybrid identity environments across on-premises Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, CyberArk Privileged Access Management, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Microsoft Sentinel.
Our Identity Security Solutions help security, infrastructure, cloud and compliance teams reduce identity risk, protect Tier 0 assets, modernize service account governance, enforce privileged access controls and improve detection across identity-driven attack paths.
Why Identity Security Matters
Most enterprise cyber incidents involve identity abuse at some stage. A compromised user, unmanaged service account, over-permissioned administrator, weak Conditional Access policy or exposed privileged credential can give attackers the path they need to escalate access.
Hybrid environments are especially complex because identity spans:
On-premises Active Directory
Microsoft Entra ID
Azure AD Connect
Privileged cloud roles
Domain Controllers
ADCS
Service accounts
CyberArk Vault, CPM, PSM and PVWA
Microsoft Defender for Identity
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Microsoft Defender for Office 365
Microsoft Sentinel
ServQual helps organizations secure this identity layer with architecture review, privileged access design, Microsoft security configuration, CyberArk hardening, service account modernization and identity threat validation.
What ServQual Helps With
Assess the current security posture across Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Azure AD Connect, privileged roles, service accounts, admin workstations, identity monitoring and security operations coverage.
Review Domain Controllers, ADCS, privileged groups, GPOs, ACLs, service accounts, delegation paths, Tier 0 assets and Active Directory monitoring coverage.
Protect Domain Controllers, ADCS, Azure AD Connect, CyberArk Vault, Global Admin accounts, PIM roles and privileged cloud identities using segmentation, PAW access, MFA, monitoring and privileged access governance.
Deploy and validate Microsoft Defender for Identity sensors across Domain Controllers, ADCS servers and Azure AD Connect, then connect identity alerts into Microsoft Sentinel for correlation and response.
Strengthen email and collaboration security using Safe Links, Safe Attachments, anti-phishing, impersonation protection and Attack Simulation Training.
Validate whether identity controls actually work by testing detection, correlation and response across realistic identity attack scenarios in a controlled and authorized manner.
Review Microsoft Entra ID security configuration, privileged roles, Conditional Access, MFA, Identity Protection, PIM, legacy authentication exposure, admin access paths and risky sign-in monitoring.
Support CyberArk architecture, Vault hardening, Safe design, CPM rotation policies, PSM session control, privileged account onboarding and Sentinel integration.
Inventory and classify service accounts, identify unmanaged or high-risk accounts, onboard privileged accounts to CyberArk, remove interactive logon rights and plan migration to gMSA or Managed Identities where suitable.
Strengthen endpoint and server protection using MDE coverage, EDR telemetry, attack surface reduction, automated investigation and endpoint isolation readiness.
Integrate identity telemetry from Microsoft Entra ID, MDI, MDE, MDO, CyberArk, Active Directory event logs and network devices into Sentinel for detection, correlation, incident response and reporting.
Produce evidence aligned to identity security, privileged access management, monitoring, incident response and compliance requirements across frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF and CIS Controls v8.

Key Identity Security Use Cases
Secure the systems that can control or compromise the enterprise identity plane, including Domain Controllers, ADCS, Azure AD Connect, CyberArk Vault, Global Admin accounts and PIM roles.
Move privileged access away from shared passwords, unmanaged administrator accounts and direct server login. Use CyberArk, PSM, PAWs, PIM and MFA to enforce controlled access.
Reduce risk from shared service accounts, unknown passwords, excessive privileges and interactive logon. Classify accounts by risk, onboard to CyberArk and migrate to gMSA or Managed Identities where appropriate.
Use Microsoft Defender for Identity, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Microsoft Sentinel to detect identity compromise, suspicious authentication, service account abuse, privileged access anomalies and lateral movement indicators.
Measure whether identity controls detect, correlate and support response within expected timeframes. Validate MDI, MDE, MDO, Sentinel and CyberArk telemetry through controlled security exercises.
Generate evidence for privileged access, identity monitoring, service account governance, incident response, logging, access review and control validation.
Identity Threat Scenarios We Help Validate
ServQual helps organizations validate defensive coverage for identity-driven risks such as:
Phishing to account compromise
Human service account abuse
Password spray attacks
Active Directory reconnaissance and enumeration
ACL abuse and shadow admin paths
Compromised workstation leading to identity abuse
CyberArk bypass attempts
Kerberoasting exposure
Lateral movement
Domain Admin compromise
ADCS abuse
Azure AD Connect compromise
Global Admin escalation
Business Email Compromise
Ransomware identity impact
These scenarios are used to test defensive readiness, not to expose offensive procedures. The objective is to measure detection, response, containment and recovery across Microsoft and CyberArk identity controls.
Our Identity Security Approach
Review Microsoft and CyberArk identity architecture, privileged access controls, service account posture, Tier 0 segmentation, monitoring coverage and operational readiness.
Define secure identity architecture across Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, CyberArk PAM, Defender, Sentinel and administrative access workflows.
Support configuration improvements, CyberArk onboarding, MDI deployment, Sentinel integration, Conditional Access tuning, privileged access workflow design and service account modernization.
