Question 1

Do you follow Microsoft's pentest rules-of-engagement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We test against the Microsoft-published rules-of-engagement, no DDoS, no destructive testing on shared infra, scoped to tenants and subscriptions you own. We notify your on-call before high-noise techniques fire.

Question 2

Can you test production tenants without breaking conditional access for real users?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use in-scope test identities you provision, isolate phantom DRS device-registration tests to those identities, and coordinate with your Defender for Cloud and Sentinel on-call so detection signal isn't lost. No real user is locked out.

Question 3

What Azure surfaces does a typical engagement cover?

Accepted Answer

Entra ID (actor tokens, PRT, conditional access, federated identity credentials), subscription RBAC, managed identities and IMDS, Key Vault access policies, app registrations, AKS workload identity, Logic Apps and Functions credential reuse, and any in-scope app or API fronting the tenant.

Question 4

How is this different from Defender for Cloud or Microsoft Secure Score?

Accepted Answer

Defender and Secure Score surface config drift. A pentest chains real primitives, PRT replay, actor-token impersonation (CVE-2025-55241), federation issuer swap, Azure Monitor SSRF (CVE-2025-62207), into working proof-of-exploit paths. Config audits flag isolated issues; we ship the exploit chain.

Question 5

Will you exfiltrate real customer data?

Accepted Answer

No. Read-only validation that data is reachable; we screenshot a record count or schema, never the data. If a path requires actual exfiltration to prove, we agree it in writing first and limit to a single synthetic record.

Question 6

What's in the report?

Accepted Answer

Executive summary, technical narrative per finding, working proof-of-exploit, CVSS, and code-level fix guidance, Bicep, ARM, and Terraform snippets, conditional-access policy diffs, RBAC role definitions, and Key Vault access-policy fixes written for the team that owns the tenant.

Question 7

Is a re-test included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at no extra cost. Every finding is re-tested after your team ships the fix, with written confirmation that each path is closed.

Question 8

What is Azure penetration testing?

Accepted Answer

Azure penetration testing simulates real attacks against your Azure tenant, subscriptions, Entra ID identity model, and connected workloads. The output is not a config grade but a proof-of-exploit, the attacker's path from an external or low-privilege starting point to data, secrets, or admin reach. SecureLayer7 runs this under Microsoft's published pentest rules-of-engagement, scoped to tenants you own.

Question 9

How much does an Azure penetration test cost?

Accepted Answer

Engagements start in the low five figures for a single-tenant, single-subscription scope and scale with the size of your Entra graph, number of subscriptions, and AKS inclusion. Pricing is engagement-based, not per-hour. The report, working proof-of-exploit, and free re-test are included.

Azure penetration testing. From one token to tenant Owner.

Most Azure compromise runs through identity: a token replayed, a managed identity over-scoped, a role nobody audited. We test how those gaps chain from a single foothold to tenant Owner, then show you exactly where to cut the path.
