Penetration Testing

Overview & Goal-

Your cloud infrastructure is only as strong as its weakest link. Our penetration testing service helps you stay ahead of real-world threats by identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do. We simulate cyberattacks in a secure and controlled environment to uncover weaknesses, then equip your team with clear, actionable remediation steps.

Service Description

We perform manual penetration testing enhanced with automated tools and not the other way around. While scanners like Acunetix and Qualys provide a baseline, they often miss issues tied to your unique business logic. That’s where we go deeper.

Our Azure-focused security team analyzes your system from both a technical and business perspective. You’ll have a dedicated penetration tester and project manager guiding you from initial scoping to final reporting.

We follow leading industry standards, including:

  •  OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS)
  •  OWASP Web & Mobile Testing Guides (WSTG/MASTG)
  •  Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES)

 

After testing, you’ll receive two core deliverables:

  1. Comprehensive Report – including scope, timeline, executive summary, findings with proof of concept, and actionable remediation steps.
  2. Detailed Checklist – outlining every task performed for complete visibility.

Value/Benefit for the Client

By choosing our Penetration Testing Services, clients will benefit from:

Certified Security Experts

Your assessment is handled by seasoned penetration testers with globally recognized certifications and over six years of hands-on experience. We combine deep technical knowledge with real-world threat modeling to ensure your Azure environment is evaluated by professionals who understand both security and business risk.

Detailed & Actionable Reporting

You receive a complete penetration testing report including an executive summary for leadership and technical breakdowns for your engineering team. Each finding comes with step-by-step reproduction guidance and remediation advice to help your team act quickly and confidently.

Transparent & Efficient Process

We guide you through a well-structured workflow with clear milestones, regular updates, and minimal disruption to your team. Most Azure penetration testing engagements are completed in 10 to 20 business days, depending on scope and complexity.

Tailored Testing Approach

We align each penetration test with your unique infrastructure, architecture, and business logic. Our manual-first approach dives beyond surface-level scans to uncover vulnerabilities that automated tools often miss, especially in Azure-based cloud and hybrid systems.

Discounts for All Recurring Services

We offer individual discounts for returning clients who schedule regular penetration testing or ongoing security assessments. This helps you stay protected year-round while keeping your cloud security investments cost-effective.

Post-Remediation Support at No Extra Cost

After your team applies fixes, we retest all previously identified vulnerabilities within 90 days, free of charge. This ensures your environment meets security objectives and gives you peace of mind that critical issues have been resolved.

Our Testing Methodology

Black-box

Approach: We simulate an external attacker with zero internal knowledge.

Benefit: Closely mimics a real-world breach attempt.

Use it when: You want to test your system’s external exposure and first-line defenses.

Gray-box

Approach: We test with limited access, using only basic credentials and infrastructure insights.

Benefit: Strikes a balance between realism and depth, making it efficient and cost-effective.

Use it when: You want deeper insights without exposing source code or full access.

White-box

Approach: We perform a full-code and infrastructure-aware audit, simulating an insider attack.

Benefit: Identifies deep vulnerabilities fast, especially within business logic or custom Azure configurations.

Use it when: You want maximum coverage and depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Penetration testing (or pen testing) is a simulated cyberattack conducted by ethical hackers to identify vulnerabilities in your systems, networks, or applications. This process helps you fix vulnerabilities before real attackers exploit them.

A vulnerability assessment scans for known issues but stops short of exploiting them. Penetration testing goes further by actively attempting to breach your systems and reveal how vulnerabilities can be used in real attacks.

The cost of penetration testing depends on the complexity of your systems and the scope of the engagement. Most projects fall between $3,000 and $10,000. For larger or enterprise-level environments, we offer custom pricing based on specific requirements and architecture.

To ensure a penetration test does not harm your business, we follow strict protocols including:

  • Pre-test scoping – Clearly defining the test’s scope, goals, and any limitations.
  • Non-disruptive testing – Using controlled methods to avoid impacting critical systems or operations.
  • Communication – Keeping open lines of communication to quickly address any unforeseen issues.
  • Backup and recovery plans – Ensuring data is backed up, and recovery procedures are in place.
  • Post-test reporting – Providing a detailed report on findings and recommending secure fixes.

These precautions minimize risk while effectively testing your systems for vulnerabilities.

There is no test that can guarantee 100% security. However, regular penetration testing significantly lowers your risk by helping you fix vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Ongoing monitoring and layered defenses are also key.
