Password Analysis
Compromised credentials are the #1 entry point for attackers. We test whether your password policies and practices are actually working, before an attacker does it for you.

The Reality for Most Organizations
You have a password policy. It says passwords must be 8 characters, contain a number, and change every 90 days. That policy isn’t protecting you. Attackers know every common pattern: “Summer2024!”, “Welcome1!”, “CompanyName1”. They crack them in seconds. A password analysis tests whether your actual credentials are as strong as your policy claims, and identifies the specific accounts that are one breach away from handing over your network.
Four Layers of Password Security
A complete picture of your credential security, from the policy that defines requirements to the actual passwords your users are creating.
Password Policy Review
We evaluate your documented password policy against current best practices: complexity requirements, length minimums, rotation rules, and account lockout settings. A policy that was strong five years ago may be creating a false sense of security today.
Password Strength Testing
With proper authorization, we test the actual strength of credentials in your environment using the same tools and techniques attackers use. We identify how many accounts would fall to a credential-cracking attack before an attacker finds out first.
Weak Account Identification
Specific identification of accounts using weak, default, or previously breached passwords, prioritized by access level and business risk. Privileged accounts using weak credentials get flagged immediately.
Remediation Recommendations
Specific, actionable guidance for policy improvements, enforcement mechanisms, and account-level remediation. We also provide guidance on MFA implementation where it will have the highest impact.
Close the #1 Entry Point Before It’s Used Against You
Credential compromise is how most ransomware starts. One weak admin password, one credential stuffing attack, one phishing victim who reused their corporate password and the attacker is inside your network. This assessment finds those accounts and tells you exactly what to fix.
The most common ransomware entry point identified and addressed before it causes an incident.
A targeted assessment costs a fraction of ransomware recovery, legal exposure, and breach notification.
Clear, specific accounts to remediate; your IT team works from a list, not a guess.
Why Leadership Cares
When a breach investigation reveals that an attacker entered through a weak admin password that violated your own policy, leadership faces a difficult question: how did that happen? A documented password assessment, with evidence that weak credentials were identified and remediated, provides the due diligence record that protects the organization and its leadership. Cyber insurers are also increasingly asking about credential security and MFA coverage.
How It Works
Scope & Authorization
We define scope and obtain written authorization before any testing. Credentials are handled with strict chain-of-custody protocols.
Policy & Strength Analysis
Policy review followed by authorized credential strength testing against known attack patterns and breach databases.
Report & Remediation Plan
Specific weak accounts identified, policy gaps documented, and prioritized remediation guidance delivered with a live debrief.
