Identity Security

Identity is the control that determines whether the mission keeps running.

Every consequential action inside an organization, a wire transfer, a record release, a production change, a classified access, is gated by an identity. Maverc treats identity as critical infrastructure for the people, services, and machines that move work through your environment, and builds the controls that keep those identities trustworthy across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem.

Proof

Deployed across federal, finance, and ICS environments with zero-downtime cutovers.

Overview

What this engagement looks like

Identity Security — visual

Most attackers don't break in; they log in with stolen credentials. We design and operate zero-trust identity programs that remove standing privilege, harden Active Directory tier zero, unify Entra, Okta, and Ping across hybrid environments, and bring service accounts, secrets, and non-human identities under continuous verification.

Outcomes you'll see

  • Eliminate standing privilege and shrink the blast radius of compromise
  • Pass identity-control audits (NIST 800-53 IA, CMMC AC, SOC 2 CC6)
  • Cut help-desk password tickets by 40–70%
  • Stop credential-based ransomware before it spreads

Deep Dive

Where we go further

Active Directory tier-zero hardening

We harden the most-targeted asset in your environment, Active Directory, with tiered admin models, protected-users groups, LAPS for local admin rotation, signed Kerberos, ESAE/Red Forest patterns where warranted, and golden-ticket detection. We also design and rehearse a clean AD recovery plan so a ransomware event doesn't become an extinction event.

Passwordless and FIDO2 at scale

We design phishing-resistant MFA rollouts using FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business, and platform authenticators, sequenced so privileged users go first and legacy app dependencies don't block progress. The result: passwordless for the workforce in months, not years.

Machine identity and secrets

Service accounts, API keys, certificates, and Kubernetes workload identities outnumber humans 20-to-1 in most enterprises, and they're rarely rotated. We discover them, vault them, rotate them, and put them on a lifecycle that survives staff turnover.

Insider risk and continuous verification

We deploy behavioral analytics across identity, endpoint, and SaaS to catch credential abuse, departing-employee data theft, and account takeover that signature-based controls miss.

03

Operate

Roll out, monitor, and continuously tune controls with measurable reporting on privilege reduction.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you replace our existing IAM platform?

Rarely. We typically harden and operationalize what you already own, Entra ID, Okta, Ping, CyberArk, Delinea, and only recommend replacement when the platform truly can't meet the requirement.

How fast can we get to passwordless?

Most customers reach passwordless for privileged users within 60–90 days, and broad workforce rollout in 4–6 months depending on legacy app dependencies.

Can you help us pass a CMMC or SOC 2 identity audit?

Yes. We map controls to the relevant framework, build the evidence pipeline, and walk the assessor through the implementation.
