Identity & Access Management Audit
Over-privileged accounts and forgotten access are how small breaches become big ones. We audit who can access what across your systems, find the excess and orphaned accounts, and help you enforce least privilege.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
Signed authorization required. This engagement is performed only against systems you own or are contractually authorized to have tested, under an agreed scope. See the responsible testing policy.

Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Signed scope firstTesting starts only after written scope and signed authorization for systems you own or are entitled to have tested.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Only your own systems, with authorised read access
- Changes implemented by your team
- Point-in-time audit of access reviewed
- No use of personal data beyond audit needs
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- What systems do you audit?
- Your core identity sources (Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, etc.) and the business-critical applications and cloud accounts that matter most. We prioritise by risk and sensitivity.
- What do you need from us?
- Read-only access or exports of user and permission data, and context on roles and critical systems. A signed authorisation confirms we're reviewing your own environment.
- What's the typical outcome?
- A clear picture of excess and stale access, quick wins to remove risk immediately, and a governance plan so access stays clean over time.

Privileged accounts are the keys to the kingdom — and attackers know it. We audit how you manage, secure and monitor administrative access, and help you lock down the credentials that would do the most damage if abused.

Active Directory Security Assessment
Active Directory is the backbone of most enterprise networks — and attackers' favourite target. We assess your AD and Entra ID for the misconfigurations and attack paths that lead to domain compromise, and show you how to close them.
