Who uses ADscan, and the results they get.

The teams that reach for ADscan already know Active Directory. A security consultancy that audits AD for a living put it on real client engagements and told us what changed. Here is their account, the field numbers behind it, and the deliverable you can read for yourself.

Customer story

A security consultancy that audits Active Directory for its clients made ADscan part of its arsenal.

edataconsulting runs security audits, hardening and posture reviews on client Active Directory. Their team put ADscan on real engagements. This is what the head of their ITSEC department, David Delgado, said about it.

In their words

We have had the chance to try ADscan, built by Yeray Martín, and we find it a genuinely interesting tool for anyone who works with Active Directory security. From a security-audit standpoint, one of its main strengths is getting a fast, complete picture of the security state of an AD environment: it surfaces insecure configurations, exposures and risk vectors that can be hard to catch in a manual review. What we liked most is the practical bent of the tool. It does not stop at collecting information; it helps you prioritise the findings and turn them into concrete points to improve. That is useful both during audits and in periodic security reviews or hardening work. For those of us who work with Active Directory, hardening, audits and security-posture analysis, having tools that cut the analysis time without losing depth is essential, and ADscan adds real value there. In short, a tool I would recommend keeping in the arsenal of any security team that wants to really understand what is happening inside its Active Directory and where its main risks are.

Hemos tenido la oportunidad de probar ADScan, desarrollado por Yeray Martín, y nos parece una herramienta especialmente interesante para cualquier profesional que trabaje con seguridad de Active Directory. Desde el punto de vista de una auditoría de seguridad, uno de sus principales valores es la capacidad de obtener rápidamente una visión global del estado de seguridad de un entorno AD, identificando configuraciones inseguras, exposiciones y vectores de riesgo que pueden ser difíciles de detectar en una revisión manual. Me ha gustado especialmente el enfoque práctico de la herramienta: no se limita solamente a recopilar información, sino que te ayuda a priorizar los hallazgos y convertirlos en puntos concretos de mejora. Esto resulta especialmente útil tanto durante auditorías como en revisiones periódicas de seguridad o trabajos de hardening. Para quienes trabajamos con Active Directory, hardening, auditorías y análisis de postura de seguridad, contar con herramientas que permitan reducir el tiempo de análisis sin perder profundidad es fundamental. Y ahí ADScan aporta bastante valor. En definitiva, una herramienta que recomendaría tener dentro del arsenal de cualquier equipo de ciberseguridad que quiera conocer realmente qué está ocurriendo dentro de su Active Directory y dónde están sus principales riesgos.

And from the operator running the audits

The tool fits AD audits like a glove. It speeds up and simplifies the work a great deal, and there is always very detailed traceability of everything, which I think is one of the best things about it.

Daniel Fabelo, ITSEC, edataconsulting
What this shows
  • A fast, complete read of an AD environment that a manual review can miss.
  • Findings that are prioritised and turned into concrete fixes, not just a data dump.
  • Detailed traceability of every action, which is what our verified-reversion ledger is built for.
  • Analysis time cut without losing depth, useful in audits and in periodic hardening.
Proof of craft

Who builds it

Built by an Active Directory pentester, for the people who do this work.

ADscan is built by Yeray Martín, a senior penetration tester who has spent years assessing Active Directory in regulated environments. The engine encodes how a specialist actually walks a domain, which is why practitioners recognise it on first contact.

  • Years of hands-on Active Directory assessments behind the technique catalog
  • ADCS coverage across the ESC certificate-template classes, not a token subset
  • The free CLI is source-available and auditable on GitHub, so nothing is taken on faith
Straight answers

Questions people ask before they trust it.

Who uses ADscan?

Security consultancies and MSSPs that audit Active Directory for clients, and in-house teams at regulated organisations that need to prove their AD exposure to a supervisor. edataconsulting, a consultancy that runs AD audits, uses it on real engagements and recommends it.

Is ADscan proven against real Active Directory?

Yes. It runs on live production domains, not just labs, and across the regulated environments assessed to date, 80% had a live exploitable path to Domain Admin that ADscan walked end to end. A working consultancy uses it in client audits today.

Does ADscan have customer reviews?

We publish named customer accounts here, in full and unedited, rather than a star rating. David Delgado of edataconsulting gave a detailed written account of using ADscan in security audits. As the customer base grows, this page grows with it.

Can I see what ADscan actually delivers?

Yes, before you talk to anyone. The sample reports are the real deliverable, mapped to ENS Alto, NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA and PCI DSS. Read them, then request a demo on your own environment.
