Entra ID (Azure AD) Security Assessment

Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) governs access to Microsoft 365 and your Azure estate — which makes it a top target. Our Entra ID security assessment reviews roles, application consent, conditional access and managed identities to find where a single account or app can be escalated into broad tenant control.

We deliver a clear picture of your identity attack surface and how to shrink it.

Our Entra ID (Azure AD) security assessment reviews the identity attack surface behind Microsoft 365 and Azure: directory roles and Privileged Identity Management, OAuth application consent and permissions, conditional access policies, managed identities and service principals, guest access and legacy authentication. Working from a scoped, low-privilege account, we identify where a single account or application can be escalated into broad tenant control and provide a clear hardening plan.

Why it matters

Entra ID governs access to Microsoft 365 and your entire Azure estate, which makes it one of the highest-value targets in a modern enterprise. A single abused app consent or role assignment can escalate into broad tenant control.

An Entra ID security assessment reviews roles, application consent, conditional access and managed identities to find where a single account or app can be turned into tenant-wide access.

What we test

  • Directory role & PIM configuration
  • OAuth app consent & permission abuse
  • Conditional access policy gaps
  • Managed identity & service principal risk
  • Guest access & external collaboration
  • Legacy authentication exposure

Common vulnerabilities we uncover

  • Excessive directory roles and weak PIM
  • OAuth app consent and permission abuse
  • Conditional access policy gaps
  • Managed identity and service principal risk
  • Guest and external collaboration exposure
  • Legacy authentication still enabled

Our Entra ID (Azure AD) Security Assessment methodology

  1. Scoping & rules of engagement. We agree objectives, targets and boundaries for your entra id (azure ad) security assessment, so testing is safe, authorized and focused on what matters to your business.
  2. Reconnaissance & mapping. We enumerate the full attack surface in scope, building a complete picture before any exploitation begins.
  3. Manual exploitation. Our senior testers chain vulnerabilities by hand — going far beyond automated scanners — to prove real, demonstrable impact.
  4. Analysis & reporting. Every finding is triaged, risk-rated with CVSS and written up with a copy-paste reproduction and clear remediation.
  5. 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 assess Entra ID with identity-focused tooling and manual analysis from a scoped, low-privilege account. We review directory roles and PIM, OAuth app consent and permissions, conditional access, managed identities and guest access, identifying where a single account or app can be escalated into broad tenant control, mapped to the CIS Microsoft 365 Benchmark.

What’s included in your report

Every entra id (azure ad) security assessment 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

Outcomes you can expect

After your entra id (azure ad) security assessment, 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 entra id (azure ad) security assessment 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 Entra ID assessment part of Azure penetration testing?
It overlaps but goes deeper on identity. Clients focused on Microsoft 365 and SSO often choose this as a standalone engagement.
Do you review Microsoft 365 too?
Yes. Because M365 sits on Entra ID, we can extend the assessment to cover key M365 security settings.
What access do you need?
A scoped, low-privilege account and read access to configuration is usually enough to map most escalation paths.

How long does an Entra ID assessment take?
Typically one to two weeks depending on tenant complexity and the number of applications in scope.
Do you cover Microsoft 365 security settings?
Yes. Because M365 sits on Entra ID, we can extend the assessment to cover key Microsoft 365 security configurations.
