Identity & Data Security
Modern organisations rely on identities to connect users, applications, cloud platforms, services and machines.
Every credential carries trust.
Every privilege creates reach.
Every access decision affects what an attacker could do with a compromised identity.
SilverFox helps organisations control that trust and protect the data behind it.
Identity is part of the attack surface.
An attacker using valid credentials may:
- bypass traditional perimeter controls
- access cloud platforms
- move between systems
- escalate privileges
- reach sensitive information
- create persistence
- abuse trusted applications
- appear legitimate while doing it
Identity security must address more than user accounts. It must account for people, administrators, services, workloads, machines, secrets, certificates and the data those identities can reach.
Identity & Access Management
Make access intentional.
SilverFox helps organisations design and improve identity controls across enterprise and cloud environments.
- Identity and Access Management strategy
- IAM architecture
- Identity governance and administration
- Joiner, mover and leaver processes
- Role design and access models
- Access certification
- Authentication architecture
- Multi-Factor Authentication
- Single Sign-On
- Federation
- Conditional access
- Customer and partner identity where required
Privileged Access Management
Protect the access that can change everything.
Privileged identities can alter infrastructure, security controls, applications and data.
SilverFox can support:
- Privileged Access Management architecture
- privileged-account discovery
- administrative-tier design
- privileged-session controls
- credential vaulting
- just-in-time access
- just-enough administration
- break-glass access
- privileged-access reviews
- service-account governance
- monitoring of privileged activity
Active Directory & Cloud Identity Security
Identity platforms often become the connective tissue of the enterprise.
SilverFox can assess and strengthen:
- Active Directory architecture
- Microsoft Entra ID
- trust relationships
- tiering and administrative boundaries
- domain and tenant configuration
- authentication protocols
- legacy authentication
- group and role assignments
- conditional-access policy
- hybrid identity
- identity attack paths
- resilience and recovery assumptions
Machine & Workload Identity
Not every identity is human.
Applications, APIs, automation, cloud workloads and devices all use identities and credentials.
- Non-human identity discovery
- Service-account security
- Workload identity
- API credential security
- Secrets management
- Certificate management
- Public Key Infrastructure
- Key lifecycle management
- Token security
- Credential rotation
- Machine-identity governance
Identity Threat Detection
Identity controls should help detect abuse, not only permit access.
SilverFox can support:
- suspicious-authentication detection
- privileged-activity monitoring
- impossible-travel and anomalous-access analysis
- identity-event correlation
- credential-abuse detection
- directory-change monitoring
- cloud-role abuse detection
- identity-focused threat hunting
Data Discovery & Classification
Protect data according to what it is and who can reach it.
Organisations cannot apply appropriate protection without understanding where sensitive information exists.
SilverFox can help with:
- data discovery
- data classification
- sensitive-data identification
- data-flow analysis
- ownership and stewardship
- data inventory
- retention and handling requirements
- access mapping
Data Protection
- Data Loss Prevention
- Data Security Posture Management
- Database security
- Encryption architecture
- Key management
- Tokenisation
- Data masking
- Sensitive-data protection
- Data-access governance
- Cloud data security
- Secure data sharing
- Monitoring of high-risk data access
Our Approach
- 01
Discover
Identify identities, privileges, credentials, trust relationships and sensitive data.
- 02
Map
Understand how access connects users, machines, applications, infrastructure and information.
- 03
Reduce
Remove unnecessary privilege, stale access, weak credentials and excessive trust.
- 04
Protect
Apply stronger authentication, privileged controls, secrets management and data protection.
- 05
Detect
Monitor for identity abuse and suspicious access to sensitive systems and data.
- 06
Validate
Test whether identity and data controls resist realistic attack paths.
Connected to Offensive Security
Identity design should be tested from the attacker's perspective.
SilverFox offensive-security teams can assess:
- credential attack paths
- privilege escalation
- Active Directory compromise
- cloud identity abuse
- authentication bypass
- session and token weaknesses
- access to sensitive data
This creates a direct loop:
Particularly Relevant For
- Financial services
- Government and defence
- Cloud-first organisations
- Regulated enterprises
- Organisations with complex Active Directory estates
- Organisations adopting Zero Trust
- Businesses with high-value or sensitive data
- Environments with extensive machine and service identities
Protect the identity. Protect the access. Protect the data.
Understand who and what holds trust before an attacker uses it.
