Active Directory (AD) is the backbone of enterprise identity management and access control. Over time, unmonitored growth, legacy configurations, and mismanagement can lead to security vulnerabilities, inefficiencies, and compliance risks. At ESS, our Active Directory Assessment & Management services help organizations regain control, improve security posture, and optimize performance—ensuring your AD environment is resilient, secure, and future-ready.
Why Active Directory Assessment & Management Matters
As your IT ecosystem evolves with cloud adoption, mergers, and digital transformation initiatives, AD must scale and adapt without becoming a liability. Regular assessments and proactive management can:
Prevent security breaches due to misconfigured permissions or inactive accounts.
Ensure compliance with industry standards like ISO, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Improve performance by eliminating redundancies and streamlining replication.
Simplify migrations to hybrid or cloud environments like Microsoft Azure AD.

Orphaned or stale user accounts
