Domain Compromise Recovery

When Active Directory is compromised, recovery becomes the mission.

Re-gain control. Evict the attackers. Restore critical operations and come back stronger.

Active Directory breach can disrupt your business for weeks if you are unprepared. Getting back to normal takes more than restoring a backup. 

NKey helps organizations regain control, restore trusted access, and rebuild identity services with security at the center of the recovery.


Security processes are often disregarded when Active Directory is compromised but that is when security is critical. 

And with the goal of quickly restoring operations, build and rebuild activities often include shortcuts during this critical time.


Our Active Directory secure recovery services help organizations respond to cyber incidents,

recover critical systems and rebuild their environment with security at the center of the process.

The Attack is Over. The Risk Isn't.

After a breach, the pressure to restore operations quickly can create new risks. Systems may still be compromised. Credentials may be exposed. Backups may be affected. And restoring the environment without understanding what happened can put the organization right back where it started.


That’s why breach recovery needs to be deliberate.


We help you move from disruption to a clean, secure, and operational environment, while keeping business priorities at the center of the recovery.

Access & Contain

Before rebuilding, we help establish what you’re dealing with.

We work to understand the affected environment, identify risks that could interfere with recovery, and determine which systems and data should be prioritized.

Focus areas may include:

  • Identifying affected systems
  • Validating the recovery environment
  • Reviewing identity and administrative access
  • Evaluating available backups and recovery points
  • Establishing recovery priorities
  • Coordinating technical recovery activities

Recover Critical Operations

The goal isn’t simply to bring systems online.

It’s to restore the right systems, in the right order, into an environment you can trust.

Our team helps organizations recover critical infrastructure, applications, identities, and data while managing dependencies across the environment.

Recovery may include:

  • Identity and access services
  • Microsoft 365 environments
  • Servers and virtual infrastructure
  • Cloud workloads
  • Business-critical applications
  • File and data services
  • End-user systems
  • Backup and recovery platform

Rebuild Securely

A breach can expose weaknesses that existed long before the incident.

Recovery provides an opportunity to correct them.

As systems are rebuilt, we help strengthen the environment through improved configurations, access controls, segmentation, authentication, and other security measures designed to reduce the likelihood that the same attack succeeds again.

Because going back to exactly where you were isn’t recovery.


A Coordinated Path Back to Business

Cyber recovery can involve dozens of interconnected decisions.

What comes online first?
Which credentials can still be trusted?
Are backups safe to restore?
Does one system depend on another?
How quickly can critical business functions resume?
We bring structure to that process.

Prioritize

Identify the systems and services the business needs most.

Validate

Confirm that infrastructure, identities, data, and recovery sources are appropriate for restoration.

Restore

Bring workloads back online in a controlled sequence.

Secure

Address exposed weaknesses and establish stronger security controls.

Stabilize

Move from emergency recovery into a sustainable operating environment.

More Than Data Recovery

Restoring files is only one part of recovering from a breach. A successful recovery needs to consider the entire technology environment:

Identity

Re-establish trusted administrative access and user authentication.

Infrastructure

Restore or rebuild the systems that critical services depend on.

Applications 

Recover business applications in the correct dependency order.

Data

Identify appropriate recovery points and restore critical information.

Endpoints

Return users to productive, trusted devices.

Security

Strengthen controls to reduce the risk of reinfection or another compromise.

Operations

Transition from emergency response back to normal IT management.

Prepare Before You Need Us

You don’t have to wait for a breach to think about recovery.

We can also help evaluate your current recovery capabilities, identify gaps, and develop a plan for restoring critical operations after a cyber incident.

That can include:

  • Recovery readiness assessments
  • Backup and recovery strategy
  • Recovery runbooks
  • Critical system dependency mapping
  • Identity recovery planning
  • Recovery testing
  • Tabletop exercises
  • Security and resilience recommendations

Access Your Recovery Readiness

When every hour matters, you need a recovery plan.

A cyber incident can create uncertainty across the entire organization. Your recovery process shouldn’t add to it.

We help bring technical expertise, structure, and focus to the recovery so your organization can move from breached to operational, and from operational to resilient.

Let’s get your business back.
