Identity Security
Services
Empowering Organisations to Reduce Identity Risk and Build Resilience
Identity security sits at the heart of modern operations and security. Our consultancy-led services help you understand where risks exist, address what matters most, and strengthen the foundations behind secure access, resilient operations, and safer change.
Across Active Directory, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, and hybrid identity environments, we help organisations improve the Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls, governance, and operational discipline needed to reduce exposure and stay in control of their identity platforms.
Every organisation’s identity journey is different. That’s why our services are consultancy-led and advisory-first
We don’t just hand over reports or sell tools; we work alongside you to reduce risk, improve resilience, and build lasting confidence in your identity environment.
Our approach is capability-building, designed to leave your team clearer, stronger, and less dependent.

Active Directory & Hybrid Identity
Risk Assessment
Know the risks. Start closing the gaps.
A deep technical assessment of your AD DS and hybrid identity environment, covering architecture, configuration, operations, policy, and hybrid sync. It identifies risks, vulnerabilities, resilience gaps, and optimisation opportunities, with prioritised findings to support remediation and stronger identity foundations.
Who it's for: Organisations running legacy or hybrid Active Directory environments that need a clearer view of identity risk and where to focus improvement.
Why it helps: Turns complex technical findings into practical priorities, so your team can take action with confidence.
Available as: Essential, Standard, and Advantage, so you can choose the level of depth or risk focus that fits your organisation.
Identity Assessed
Know where you stand
Understand your current risk, visibility gaps, and identity weaknesses.
Identity Breach Exposure Monitoring
See where public breach data increases business risk.
Monitors publicly exposed breach data linked to your organisation’s domain, helping you identify where compromised credentials and related personal data increase identity risk. The service provides visibility of historical and newly identified exposure across your own domain and, where needed, relevant third-party or supply chain domains.
Who it's for: Organisations that want better visibility of breached credentials and public exposure linked to their business, including exposure that may increase risk across their own organisation via the wider supply chain.
Why it helps: Turns public breach intelligence into practical risk visibility, helping businesses identify where exposed data may increase the likelihood of account compromise, phishing, fraud, ransomware, and wider operational risk, so action can be prioritised before that exposure is exploited.
Available as: A monitoring service with either direct client access or Orbital-supported monitoring and notification.
Entra ID & Microsoft 365 Security Risk Assessment
Clarity on risks. Confidence in action.
A detailed assessment of identity and access risk across Entra ID and Microsoft 365, covering security posture, core controls, configuration, management practices, and the relationship between identity and Microsoft 365 services. It highlights exposure, identifies security gaps, maps findings against relevant compliance and best-practice frameworks, and provides prioritised actions with supporting Microsoft guidance to help strengthen resilience.
Who it's for: Organisations using Microsoft 365 who want clarity on identity security risk across Entra ID and M365, and confidence that core Microsoft security controls and relevant compliance expectations are being addressed.
Why it helps: Gives your team a prioritised, business-friendly view of what needs attention, why it matters, and where to focus effort to reduce risk, strengthen controls, and support more secure day-to-day operations.
Available in: Essential, Standard, and Advantage, to suit the level of insight you need, or target areas your organisation needs.
Account Hygiene Analysis
Strengthen the foundations identity platforms depends on.
A structured analysis of account hygiene, privilege, and identity control quality across your Microsoft identity environments. It identifies dormant, shadow, duplicate, and over-privileged identities, along with wider hygiene and technical control issues that can affect stability, governance, resilience, and readiness for change.
Who it's for: Organisations that need a clearer picture of account sprawl, privilege, and hygiene issues across Active Directory, Entra ID, or hybrid environments, particularly where identity complexity is affecting security, operations, migration scope, or readiness for modernisation.
Why it helps: Gives teams a clearer view of account and privilege issues so they can prioritise action, reduce avoidable exposure, and build stronger foundations for remediation, modernisation, and connected-system readiness.
Available in: A scoped analysis service that can be used as a standalone engagement or as a precursor to remediation, modernisation, and wider identity improvement and transformation programmes.
