Our Azure penetration testing services provide full coverage, targeting vulnerabilities wherever they emerge
Astra's 7-Step Pentest Process
Astra's hacker-style pentest process combines years of pentester experience, cutting-edge AI, and deep knowledge of industry standards. Our battle-tested approach ensures comprehensive coverage, uncovering vulnerabilities that others miss.
Every pentest our security engineers perform feeds back into our DAST vulnerability scanner.
That means we're not just relying on known CVEs - we're continuously learning
from real-world hacks performed during pentests.

Our team stays ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving world of web security
Azure penetration testing evaluates the security of applications, workloads, and configurations hosted on Microsoft Azure. It identifies vulnerabilities specific to cloud environments, helping organizations reduce risk, prevent breaches, and maintain compliance while ensuring resilient performance of critical business systems.
Unlike traditional pentesting, Azure penetration testing focuses on Azure-specific services such as Active Directory, storage accounts, virtual networks, and role-based access controls. It considers Microsoft’s shared responsibility model and unique cloud configurations that may not exist in on-premises or hybrid environments.
Testing can uncover misconfigured role assignments, insecure APIs, exposed storage accounts, weak authentication, excessive permissions, unpatched virtual machines, flawed firewall rules, and identity-based attacks. It also detects risks in hybrid or multi-cloud integrations where Azure resources interact with external systems.
The service typically includes scoping of Azure assets, assessment of IAM, storage, and networking configurations, simulated attack scenarios, exploitation of discovered weaknesses, and a detailed report with remediation guidance. Both executive and technical reports map findings to compliance requirements and business impact.
Azure environments should be tested at least annually, with additional tests after major deployments, new application launches, or significant configuration changes. High-risk industries or businesses with sensitive data may require quarterly or continuous testing to maintain strong cloud security.
The duration depends on scope and complexity. Smaller, targeted tests may take a few days, while large-scale Azure environments with multiple applications and integrations may require two to four weeks. Timelines also include reporting and remediation consultation after testing.
