What does the Data Security in Active Directory Dataset include?

The Data Security in Active Directory Dataset includes a single downloadable Excel file (.XLSX) containing 1,542 prioritised security requirements organised across 12 maturity domains. Each requirement includes a unique identifier, full description, implementation priority (High/Medium/Low), and alignment to standards such as NIST, CIS, ISO 27001, GDPR, and PCI DSS. The dataset also includes a built-in scoring model, filtering capabilities, and a remediation roadmap template to guide post-assessment actions.

What does poor Active Directory data security cost your organisation? Unauthorised access, undetected privilege escalation, compliance failures, and data breaches often trace back to misconfigured directory services , and most IT security teams can't pinpoint the gaps until it's too late. The Data Security in Active Directory Dataset is a comprehensive self-assessment tool designed specifically for IT security professionals who need to rapidly evaluate, benchmark, and strengthen their Active Directory security posture. With 1,542 prioritised requirements mapped to real-world attack vectors, compliance standards, and industry best practices, this dataset enables you to uncover hidden risks, prioritise remediation, and validate controls , all before an auditor or attacker finds them first.

What You Receive

  • A complete Excel dataset containing 1,542 validated data security requirements for Active Directory, each with unique ID, category, description, and priority level , enabling systematic gap analysis across your environment
  • 12 core maturity domains: User Access Management, Privileged Account Control, Group Policy Security, Kerberos Authentication Hardening, LDAP Protection, Replication Security, DNS Integration Safeguards, Password Policy Compliance, Audit Logging Configuration, Threat Detection Rules, Incident Response Integration, and Continuous Monitoring Benchmarks
  • Mapping to NIST SP 800-53, CIS Controls v8, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, GDPR, and PCI DSS requirements , so you can crosswalk findings directly to compliance obligations
  • Scoring methodology and risk-weighted prioritisation matrix , allowing you to calculate your current maturity score and identify high-impact improvement areas in under 30 minutes
  • Automated filtering and search functionality within the spreadsheet , so you can isolate critical controls for privileged accounts, detect weak encryption settings, or audit delegation models with precision
  • Remediation roadmap template , guiding you from assessment to action with clear next steps, ownership assignments, and timeline planning
  • Instant digital download in .XLSX format , ready to deploy immediately upon purchase, no installation or setup required

How This Helps You

You’re responsible for protecting one of the most targeted assets in your network , your identity infrastructure. Without a structured way to assess Active Directory security, you risk missing critical misconfigurations that enable lateral movement, pass-the-hash attacks, or Golden Ticket exploits. Using this dataset, you can conduct a thorough self-assessment that mirrors what red teams and auditors look for, giving you the confidence to defend your environment. Each of the 1,542 requirements is derived from real incident post-mortems, penetration testing reports, and regulatory findings , ensuring relevance and actionability. By identifying gaps early, you reduce the likelihood of breach-related downtime, regulatory fines (up to 4% of global revenue under GDPR), and reputational damage. Organisations that perform regular AD security assessments are 68% more likely to detect threats before exfiltration occurs. Ignoring this layer of defence isn’t just risky , it’s a strategic failure.

Who Is This For?

  • IT Security Managers implementing Zero Trust principles and needing to validate identity control effectiveness
  • Compliance Officers preparing for ISO 27001, SOC 2, or CMMC audits requiring documented control assessments
  • Active Directory Administrators tasked with hardening domain controllers and monitoring privileged access
  • Cybersecurity Consultants delivering AD security reviews to clients and requiring a repeatable, evidence-based assessment framework
  • Risk Analysts conducting third-party risk assessments where directory security is a key control domain
  • Internal Audit Teams evaluating the strength of identity and access management controls across business units

Purchasing the Data Security in Active Directory Dataset isn’t an expense , it’s a force multiplier for your security programme. It gives you the structured, standardised, and scalable method you need to turn visibility into action, compliance into capability, and risk into resilience. This is the tool forward-thinking security leaders use to stay ahead of evolving threats at the identity layer.
