Penetration testing & offensive security

Expose attack paths
before adversaries exploit them.

MAITS conducts rigorous penetration testing with a specialized focus on identity attack paths, Microsoft Entra tenant vulnerabilities, hybrid privilege escalation, and modern web application interfaces.

Identity-first offensive security

Most breaches bypass perimeter firewalls by compromising credentials or abusing identity configurations. Our testing simulates real-world adversary behavior against your identity control plane.

Testing domains

Targeted offensive security testing across your estate.

We test specific operational boundaries using industry frameworks (OWASP, PTES, MITRE ATT&CK) tailored to your architecture.

IDENTITY ATTACK PATHS

Entra ID & Tenant Penetration Testing

Adversary simulation against tenant configurations, consent grants, app registrations, Conditional Access bypasses, and unmanaged guest accounts.

HYBRID ESCALATION

Active Directory to Cloud Lateral Movement

Testing trust boundaries between on-premises Active Directory and cloud identity, exposing DCSync paths, synchronization agent vulnerabilities, and Tier 0 compromise vectors.

PRIVILEGE ESCALATION

PIM & Role-Based Privilege Analysis

Probing for indirect privilege escalation via group memberships, automation accounts, Azure subscription roles, and service principals.

WEB & API SECURITY

Web Application & API Penetration Testing

In-depth assessment of customer portals, OAuth/OIDC implementation flaws, token tampering, JWT vulnerabilities, and business logic flaws.

CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

Azure Cloud Posture & Workload Testing

Testing Key Vault access policies, private endpoint security, serverless function authentication, and container workload isolation.

CREDENTIAL TESTING

Phishing Resistance & Authentication Bypass

Evaluating MFA implementation, session token theft and replay, adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) resilience, and passkey registration integrity.

Testing methodology

Controlled, transparent, and evidence-driven execution.

Our testing adheres to strict rules of engagement, ensuring comprehensive vulnerability discovery without business disruption.

01 / SCOPE

Scoping & rules of engagement

Define testing boundaries, high-value assets, testing windows, notification protocols, and emergency escalation paths.

02 / RECON

Reconnaissance & mapping

Map external exposure, tenant endpoints, identity configurations, service principals, and application trust boundaries.

03 / PROBE

Vulnerability discovery

Simulate adversary techniques to identify misconfigurations, weak authentication, token vulnerabilities, and lateral movement paths.

04 / EXPLOIT

Safe exploitation & proof of concept

Validate exploitability with controlled evidence capture without compromising data integrity or system availability.

05 / REPORT

Defensible reporting & debrief

Deliver technical vulnerability data, CVSS ratings, executive risk summaries, and practical remediation guidance.

06 / RETEST

Remediation verification

Re-test confirmed vulnerabilities post-remediation to verify that corrective controls are effective and permanent.

Deliverables

Reports written for action, not shelfware.

Every penetration test produces actionable documentation with clear reproduction steps, tailored remediation code/configuration, and executive risk metrics.
