What does an Active Directory resilience review cover?

Tier 0 isolation (Enterprise Admins, domain controllers, ADFS), backup and recovery (AD forest recovery rehearsals, immutable copies, RTO), and hardening (Kerberos delegation, LAPS, NTLM removal, SMB signing).

Is this assessment Essential Eight aligned?

Yes. Recovery questions map directly to Essential Eight Maturity Level 2 backup requirements. Hardening questions map to ASD Information Security Manual hardening guidance (current revision).

Do I need on-premises AD to take it?

Yes — the assessment is for organisations running on-premises or hybrid Active Directory. Cloud-only Entra ID tenants should take the Identity Assessment at /identity-assessment.

Who is this assessment for?

Active Directory administrators, identity architects, security engineers, and IT managers responsible for AD recovery in Australian organisations of any size with hybrid identity.
