Active Directory Health Check

Trusted by

Your Active Directory (AD) is a critical element of your digital infrastructure. However, if you don’t invest the necessary time in controlling it, it can swiftly become unmanageable and a security risk.

By letting Axess Systems undertake this comprehensive review, you gain a thorough analysis of your AD infrastructure, including where you can improve performance, security, and user experience. Ultimately, you will enjoy greater clarity and peace of mind.

This review covers your entire Active Directory infrastructure, from Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, NTP, and Exchange Server to security considerations.

Implementing this review removes a significant risk when migrating to new IT infrastructure, so why take that risk?

HOW IT WORKS

Why implement a Microsoft Active Directory Review?

You should consider an Active Directory Review if:

You haven’t conducted a detailed review of your Active Directory infrastructure in over 12 months.
You intend to migrate to a new digital infrastructure that relies on your AD infrastructure.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Your Active Directory Health Check

If you haven’t completed a detailed review of your AD infrastructure for over 12 months You might be thinking, “My AD is fine, it works, and it’s not a priority.” If that sounds familiar, here are a few reasons to consider partnering with Axess Systems for this work:

You gain a detailed understanding of your AD’s security

One of the primary benefits is the peace of mind that comes with knowing your AD is secure. It’s always better to uncover potential issues in a controlled manner.

Imagine discovering an admin account with full permissions still assigned to a former employee who left five years ago or admin passwords that haven’t been changed for seven years.

Situations like these are not uncommon, and it’s far better for you to find out now than wait for someone else to do so.

You have documented evidence for ISO27001, ISO20000, or ISO23001 audits

If your organisation is certified to these standards, you already understand the importance of Access Control Policy. An Active Directory review provides documented evidence to show an auditor.

You don’t need to recruit or train a specialist

The scope of this engagement is comprehensive. By using a consultant from Axess Systems, you benefit directly from extensive expertise without the additional burden of recruitment or training.

You can prioritise your time and resources effectively

After the review, you’ll know precisely where to focus your efforts to achieve the best return. You’ll receive a clear action plan covering:

Continuity
User Experience
Efficiency
Security

Your Microsoft Active Directory Review can cover:

Active Directory
DNS
