Protecting Government’s Critical Infrastructure Through Advanced Penetration Testing

Government Agencies and Contractors

Prevent Operational Disruption

With ransomware incidents increasing by 51% in 2023 alone, regular penetration testing ensures your defenses are strong enough to prevent such incidents.

Protect Sensitive Information

Federal contractors and agencies often handle classified or highly sensitive data that makes them prime targets for cybercriminals and nation-state actors.

Ensure Regulatory Compliance

Compliance with frameworks like NIST 800-171, CMMC, DFARS, and ITAR is mandatory for government contractors.

Protect Classified Data, Ensure Compliance, and Strengthen Security Posture


As a government contractor or agency, your organization operates in one of the most highly targeted industries for cyberattacks

Government Contractors: Highly Targeted Industry

In 2023 alone, federal agencies reported over 32,000 cybersecurity incidents, a 5% increase from the previous year, highlighting the growing threat landscape. Handling sensitive or classified data, meeting stringent compliance requirements, and maintaining operational integrity are critical to your success. Raxis provides specialized penetration testing services tailored to the unique challenges faced by federal contractors, ensuring your systems are secure, compliant, and resilient against evolving cyber threats.

Scoping & Planning

Raxis starts each engagement with a detailed scoping phase, collaborating with your team to identify the systems, networks, and applications that require testing. We align scope with frameworks like NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and DFARS to prioritize critical areas such as CUI repositories and high-impact systems.

PTaaS Unlocks Continuous Cybersecurity

Raxis Attack is our PTaaS solution, an adversary simulation platform designed to replicate real-world cyberattacks with precision and control. It enables organizations to safely experience how a threat actor would target their systems—without the chaos of a live incident.

Unlike automated scanners or scripted tests, Raxis Attack dynamically adapts to your environment, discovering custom weaknesses in configurations, APIs, and authentication flows. Every action is logged, analyzed, and visualized to give your team clear, actionable intelligence.

Simulated Attacks

Raxis testers simulate real world attacks including insider threats, privilege escalation, and lateral movement. Our hands on assessments reveal vulnerabilities automated scans miss and provide actionable remediation guidance.

Detailed Reporting

Raxis delivers detailed reports aligned with NIST SP 800-53 and CMMC standards. Each includes prioritized findings with proof-of-concept exploits, clear remediation steps, and recommendations tailored to your environment. Designed for both technical and executive audiences, these reports help you quickly address critical risks and strengthen compliance.

Support & Retesting

After remediation, Raxis performs retesting to verify that vulnerabilities are fully resolved and no new risks were introduced. This step supports federal compliance and confirms your systems are secure against evolving threats through close collaboration with your team.

Black, Grey, and White Box Testing

Raxis uses Black box, Grey box, and White box testing for government contractor systems, recommending the method that best fits your objectives and environment.

Black Box

The penetration tester receives no prior information about the target systems, simulating an external attacker with no inside knowledge.

Grey Box

A hybrid approach where partial information is shared, typically including some credentials or limited system details.

White Box

The organization provides complete network details, system information, credentials, and documentation to the penetration tester.

Expertise in Federal Security Standards

Raxis has extensive experience working with government contractors and understands the unique security challenges you face. Our penetration tests are designed to align with federal standards like NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC, ensuring compliance while delivering actionable insights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Penetration testing is a proactive security assessment that simulates real-world cyberattacks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your systems. For government contractors, it’s essential to protect sensitive data like Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and classified materials while ensuring compliance with federal regulations such as NIST 800-171, CMMC, DFARS, and ITAR. It helps safeguard against breaches, maintain operational integrity, and meet contractual security requirements.

Segmentation testing ensures that sensitive systems, such as those containing CUI or classified data, are properly isolated from less secure areas of your network. This reduces the risk of lateral movement during a breach and limits the scope of compliance audits. For government contractors, segmentation testing is critical for meeting PCI DSS and NIST standards while protecting high-value assets.

Raxis combines deep expertise in federal security standards with an AI augmented hands-on approach that goes beyond automated scans. Our testers simulate real-world attack scenarios using advanced techniques while adhering to frameworks like NIST 800-171 and CMMC. Additionally, our PTaaS offering provides continuous visibility into your security posture through real-time results, unlimited retesting, and expert guidance via the Raxis One portal.

At the conclusion of testing, your report will be delivered through our Raxis One portal. Additionally, we will schedule a debriefing call to review your report and address any questions or concerns.

Penetration testing validates the effectiveness of your security controls by identifying vulnerabilities and demonstrating how they could be exploited. This aligns with the requirements of NIST 800-171 and CMMC, which mandate regular assessments of your systems to protect CUI. Raxis provides detailed reports with actionable recommendations to help you remediate issues and maintain compliance.

Raxis works closely with your team to define the scope, schedule, and rules of engagement before testing begins. We conduct all tests in a controlled manner to avoid disruptions to your operations or systems. Communication is maintained throughout the process to ensure transparency and address any concerns in real time.

Raxis testers hold industry standard certifications such as CEH, OSCP, GFACT, GPEN, and more on our certifications page.

Penetration tests should be conducted annually or whenever significant changes occur in your environment, such as new systems, software updates, or infrastructure modifications. Regular testing ensures ongoing compliance with federal regulations and helps protect against emerging threats.
