Azure Penetration Test
Harden Azure from the Ground Up: Fix Configurations, Reduce Risk
Azure fuels several business operations—VMs, Blob storage, Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), and App Services—but missteps in the shared model can result in credential theft, data leakage, or domain takeovers. A rogue policy or exposed key vault invites chaos. Aevora’s Azure Penetration Testing restores order.
We dissect your Azure tenancy, blending automated audits with manual expertise for fortified security and compliance. Ready to secure your Azure infrastructure? Contact us today for a free consultation.
What is Azure Penetration Testing?
Azure Penetration Testing is a targeted ethical intrusion into your Azure environment—subscriptions, resources, and identities. We attack from afar or with limited credentials, honoring Microsoft’s engagement rules. Our hybrid approach dominates the Azure arena:
- Automated Testing: Wield tools like AzSK, CloudMapper, and Prowler to automate RBAC scans, storage audits, and benchmark runs—flagging public blobs, over-privileged roles, or NSG holes in a flash across tenants.
- Manual Testing: Aevora operators manually escalate via custom PowerShell exploits or ARM template abuses—exposing crafty threats like Entra ID token replay or Key Vault bypasses that scanners sense but can’t conquer.
Common vulnerabilities uncovered:
- Identity Escalations (Entra ID, RBAC abuses)
- Storage Exposures (Blob, File shares)
- Network Lapses (NSG, ASG bypasses)
- Serverless Pitfalls (Functions, Logic Apps)
- Cross-Subscription Jumps and Federation Flaws
- Drift From CIS Azure Foundations
If your business relies on Azure, it is time to put it to the test.
Our Methodology
At Aevora, we don’t do one-size-fits-all. Our penetration testing follows industry-leading frameworks like CSA CCM, Microsoft Security Baselines for Azure, CIS Benchmark, MITRE ATT&CK and NIST, tailored to your unique environment. Here’s how we deliver results:
- Scoping & Reconnaissance: We collaborate with you to define targets, rules of engagement, and business-critical assets—ensuring zero disruption to your operations. We will also discuss specific goals to see if you have objectives in mind. Aevora operators will perform passive reconnaissance during scoping to get a general intelligence perspective on the target company and cloud infrastructure.
- Vulnerability Scanning & Enumeration: Aevora operators will use several different tactics, techniques, and procedures to uncover vulnerabilities at scale. Our operators and their extensive knowledge is where the real value comes in. We scan for vulnerabilities while mapping out assets and manually probe various areas of interest, such as mapping of trusts and exposures.
- Exploitation & Proof-of-Concept : Rather we start from no access or an assumed breach scenario, we are attempting to exploit vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to traverse the environment and compromise Azure. All exploitation is conducted in a safe and responsible way to avoid disruption to operations. The team also seeks to find realistic proof of concepts that easily demonstrate impact and include clear steps for reproducing.
- Post-Exploitation Analysis : We don’t stop after a vulnerability is found. Instantly the question, “What is the worst thing that could happen?” gets asked. Aevora operators seek to chain vulnerabilities and move around the environment for additional access.
- Comprehensive Reporting & Remediation Guidance : You’ll receive a detailed report with executive summaries, technical findings, risk ratings (CVSS-scored), and step-by-step fix recommendations. Plus, we offer re-testing at a discount to verify remediations.
All of Aevora’s operators possess the highly coveted OSCP certification. With Aevora you are getting the best and you can have confidence that every test is thorough, confidential, and compliant with standards like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Why Choose Aevora for Your Azure Pen Test?
In a sea of cybersecurity firms, Aevora stands out because we prioritize your success. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Adaptive and Capable: We have compromised a large number of Azure environments. From small companies to massive enterprises using cloud infrastructure—we will find every angle and pry with precision and resilience. Aevora operators are required to remain knowledgeable on the latest security trends, tooling, techniques, and cloud security concepts.
- Rapid Turnaround: Most engagements are completed in 2-4 weeks. Importantly, we are flexible and are ready to work around the timelines that you require. Engagement length is primarily determined by the size of the AWS environment and Aevora’s testing schedule.
- Transparent Pricing: Starting at $5,000 per week for standard engagements. While scoping, we will analyze the Azure landscape and any specific custom goals established. Custom goals in some scenarios can impact engagement complexity. These details can fluctuate pricing as every Azure environment is designed differently and we strive to meet your key goals.
- Ongoing Partnership: Beyond the engagement, you will have access our threat intelligence feeds and quarterly health checks to stay ahead of emerging risks. This is completely free. We want to be your go-to experts year-round. We prioritize your success.
Who Benefits From Our Azure Pen Tests?
This service is essential for:
Cloud & DevOps Teams: Get a comprehensive view of your Azure environment’s attack surface. We identify misconfigured services, overly permissive role assignments, insecure storage (like Blob containers), exposed APIs, and risky networking setups. Our findings help your teams prioritize remediation efforts and build a stronger, more resilient Azure architecture
Security Teams: Understand what an attacker could do post-breach—whether through a compromised Azure AD token, vulnerable VM, or misused automation identity. We uncover privilege escalation paths, lateral movement opportunities, and misconfigured security controls like NSGs, Azure Defender, and Logging/Monitoring gaps. The result: actionable insights that help you lock down your Azure environment effectively
Organizations with Complex Azure Tenants or Hybrid Cloud Environments: Managing multiple subscriptions, RBAC roles, hybrid setups (on-prem + Azure), or cross-tenant access? We test configurations across the full environment—covering Azure AD, Key Vault, VNET peering, custom policies, and more—to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Heavily Regulated Industries: Meet strict compliance requirements such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. Our penetration tests provide the necessary evidence and risk insights to satisfy auditors and regulators. If you have specific compliance requirements, be sure to let us know during scoping.
Companies Preparing for Funding, Acquisition, or Compliance Audits: Show prospective investors, acquirers, or partners that your cloud environment is secure and well-managed. Our professional AWS pentest reports validate your cloud security posture and highlight your commitment to best practices in cloud-native environments.
Businesses of All Sizes: From startups deploying their first Azure workloads to enterprises running mission-critical applications in the cloud, our manual Azure penetration testing provides depth that automated tools miss. We uncover hidden risks, exploitable misconfigurations, and real attack paths—helping you protect your data, users, and reputation from day one.
