Windows Security Audit Script (PowerShell)

This project is a PowerShell-based Windows security audit tool created by Brecon Ndamamjoh, a cybersecurity student. The script performs a local audit of key system security settings and outputs easy-to-read results for basic hardening and awareness.

🔍 What It Checks

• Windows Defender Status
• Windows Firewall (Domain, Private, Public profiles)
• Password Policy (length, expiration, lockout)
• Local Administrator Accounts
• Guest Account Status
• Remote Desktop Access
• BitLocker Drive Encryption (if supported)

How to Run

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator.
2. Navigate to the script directory (e.g. cd ~\Desktop).
3. Temporarily allow execution:

   Set - ExecutionPolicy - Scope Process - ExecutionPolicy Bypass

4. Run the script:

   .\AuditScript.ps1

Output Sample

Each section outputs results with ✅ (secure), ❌ (at risk), or ⚠️ (not supported). The script ends with a prompt to press ENTER so results stay visible.
