Azure Security Assessment & Penetration Testing
Protect what matters with Azure Security Assessment & Penetration Testing
An Azure security assessment evaluates your Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) environment for misconfigurations, excessive privileges and exposed resources that attackers could exploit. Aesparrow reviews subscriptions, identities, networking, storage, Key Vault, AKS and monitoring against the CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark, and performs authorised Azure penetration testing to demonstrate real attack paths.
Identity is the new perimeter in Azure. We test conditional access, privileged role assignments, service principals and managed identities, app registrations and consent grants, alongside network security groups, public endpoints, storage account access and Defender for Cloud coverage — then give you a prioritised remediation roadmap.
