After more than 150 Active Directory audits, one critical issue stands out: the lack of effective role-based authority.
This gap leaves organisations vulnerable to privilege misuse, lateral movement, and credential-based attacks.
That’s why we created the RBADSE project — a structured, proven approach to implementing a secure, scalable Role-Based Authority (RBA) model within your existing Active Directory environment.
Our RBADSE service is designed to transform your AD security posture by implementing a mature, zone-based RBA architecture.
Key benefits include:
- Reduced risk of privilege escalation and credential abuse
- Clear separation of duties and access boundaries
- Standardised, policy-driven administrative access
- Fully documented architecture and best practices
- Empowered teams through training and knowledge transfer
The RBADSE project includes a comprehensive set of activities to ensure long-term security and operational success:
🔍 Assessment
- Initial audit to identify current RBA gaps and risks
🛡️ Authority Zones and Security Boundaries
- Domain Boundary – prevents privileged accounts from accessing standard clients or servers
- Server Boundary – segregates server and client administration to block credential harvesting and pivot attacks
🔧 Access Control Remediation
- Removal of unauthorised permissions from key AD components (e.g., containers, DNS, OUs, GPOs)
🖥️ Server Access Standardisation
- Audit and restructure local admin rights using AD groups to ensure consistency and compliance
💻 Client Administration Controls
- Implement policy-aligned mechanisms for managing client admin rights
📘 Training and Documentation
Delivery of tailored training, best practices, and comprehensive documentation to support ongoing governance
- A fully implemented triple-zone RBA architecture
- Detailed documentation and policy templates
- Hands-on training for administrators and cybersecurity teams
- A significantly reduced attack surface across your AD environment
