Azure's tight integration with Entra ID (Azure AD) means identity is the perimeter. Our Azure penetration testing targets the tenant the way an attacker with a foothold would — abusing role assignments, application consent and managed identities to escalate from a single user to broad control.
We assess subscriptions, storage and services alongside identity to reveal the real path to sensitive data.
Our Azure penetration testing focuses on the identity-centric attack paths that dominate Azure environments, alongside subscription and resource misconfiguration. Working from a scoped, least-privilege account, we abuse Entra ID role assignments, application consent, managed identities and service principals to demonstrate escalation from a single user or app to broad tenant and subscription control. Findings align to the CIS Azure Foundations Benchmark and the Microsoft cloud security benchmark.
Why it matters
Azure's tight integration with Entra ID means identity is the perimeter, and the fastest paths to compromise run through role assignments, application consent and managed identities. A single over-privileged app registration can unlock an entire tenant.
Azure penetration testing targets the tenant the way an attacker with a foothold would, revealing how a single user or app can escalate to broad control of your subscriptions and data.
What we test
- Entra ID role & consent abuse
- Managed identity & service principal attacks
- Subscription privilege escalation
- Storage account & blob exposure
- Conditional access gap analysis
- Secrets in Key Vault, code & pipelines
Common vulnerabilities we uncover

- Conditional access policy gaps
- Secrets in Key Vault, code and pipelines
Our Azure Penetration Testing methodology
- Scoping & rules of engagement. We agree objectives, targets and boundaries for your azure penetration testing, so testing is safe, authorized and focused on what matters to your business.
- Reconnaissance & mapping. We enumerate the full attack surface in scope, building a complete picture before any exploitation begins.
- Manual exploitation. Our senior testers chain vulnerabilities by hand — going far beyond automated scanners — to prove real, demonstrable impact.
- Analysis & reporting. Every finding is triaged, risk-rated with CVSS and written up with a copy-paste reproduction and clear remediation.
- Remediation support & free retest. We support your team through the fixes and retest the remediated issues to confirm they are genuinely closed.
Tools & techniques
We test Azure and Entra ID with identity-focused tooling and manual analysis, working from a scoped, least-privilege account. We enumerate role assignments, application consent and managed identities, assess conditional access and subscription permissions, and demonstrate escalation paths mapped to the CIS Azure Foundations Benchmark and Microsoft cloud security benchmark.
When you need Azure Penetration Testing

What’s included in your report
Every azure penetration testing engagement concludes with a comprehensive, board-ready report and a working session to walk your team through it. Your report includes:
- An executive summary with overall risk posture for non-technical stakeholders
- Detailed technical findings, each with a step-by-step, copy-paste reproduction
- CVSS v3.1 severity ratings and business-impact context for every issue
- Prioritized, actionable remediation guidance your engineers can apply directly
- A complimentary retest to confirm fixes and update finding status
- A formal attestation letter for customers, auditors and compliance programs

Outcomes you can expect
After your azure penetration testing, you will have clear, evidence-based visibility into your real security risk — not a scanner’s guesswork. You will know exactly which weaknesses an attacker could exploit, what the business impact would be, and the precise steps to fix them in priority order. Teams use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy customer and regulator security requirements, and demonstrate due diligence to their board. With a complimentary retest included, you also get documented proof that the issues are genuinely resolved.
Engagement details & logistics
Every azure penetration testing starts with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal and a clear statement of work. Most engagements are delivered fully remotely, with on-site work arranged where it genuinely adds value. Throughout testing we maintain an agreed communication cadence and escalate any critical, high-impact finding to you immediately rather than waiting for the final report. All work is performed under a signed NDA with strict data-handling controls, using safe, non-disruptive techniques and carefully coordinated rules of engagement to protect your production systems. On completion you receive your report and a walkthrough session, followed by a complimentary retest once your fixes are in place. Typical engagements are booked one to three weeks in advance, and urgent or pre-deadline testing can often be accommodated — just ask at hi@agentoffense.com.

Frequently asked questions
Is Azure testing mostly about identity?
Largely, yes. In Azure the fastest paths to compromise usually run through Entra ID, so identity is a core focus alongside resource misconfiguration.
Can you assess our Microsoft 365 tenant too?
Yes — M365 and Entra ID are closely linked, and we can extend scope to cover both.
Do you need Global Admin access?
No. We work from a scoped, least-privilege account and demonstrate how far that access can be escalated.
Do you need Global Administrator access?
No. We work from a scoped, least-privilege account and demonstrate how far that access can be escalated.
Can you assess Microsoft 365 too?
Yes — M365 and Entra ID are closely linked, and we can extend scope to cover both.
Do you also cover Microsoft 365?
Yes. Because M365 sits on Entra ID, we can extend scope to cover key Microsoft 365 security settings.
How much does Azure penetration testing cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your tenant and subscriptions. Contact hi@agentoffense.com for a scoped quote.
How long does Azure penetration testing take?
Typically one to two weeks depending on tenant and subscription size, plus a retest window.
Do you need Global Administrator access?
No. We work from a scoped, low-privilege account and demonstrate how far that access can be escalated.
