Penetration Testing for Software Companies & SaaS Platforms

Your customers trust you with their data. A pentest that only runs OWASP scans doesn’t prove you’ve earned it.

Penetration Testing That Speaks Your Stack

Software companies ship fast. Your pentest needs to keep up. Raxis delivers human-led, AI-augmented penetration testing built for modern architectures: microservices, containerized deployments, REST and GraphQL APIs, OAuth/OIDC flows, and multi-tenant SaaS platforms. We test the way your application actually works, not the way a scanner thinks it should.

Application & API Security

Deep manual testing of your web apps, SPAs, REST/GraphQL APIs, webhook handlers, and OAuth/OIDC implementations. Business logic, not just OWASP Top 10.

Cloud & Infrastructure Testing

IAM policy review, container escape testing, Kubernetes misconfigurations, serverless function abuse, and storage exposure across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

CI/CD & Supply Chain Security

Pipeline injection testing, secrets-in-code detection, build artifact integrity, dependency analysis, and third-party integration security across your SDLC.

The Problem with Most Software Pentests

Your enterprise prospect just sent a security questionnaire. Your SOC 2 auditor wants pentest evidence. Your board wants assurance. Most pentest vendors hand you a DAST scan with a logo on it. Your engineering team sees through it immediately, and so do the security reviewers on the other side of that deal.

DAST Scans Repackaged as Pentests

Running Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP against your login page and generating a PDF is not a penetration test. It won’t find IDOR vulnerabilities in your API, broken object-level authorization across tenant boundaries, race conditions in payment flows, or business logic flaws in your invitation and permission systems. Raxis engineers manually test your application the way a skilled attacker would, with full understanding of how modern SaaS platforms are built.

Multi-Tenant Isolation Nobody Verified

Your architecture docs say tenant data is isolated. But has anyone actually tried to access Tenant B’s data from Tenant A’s authenticated session? Tested whether shared infrastructure leaks data through caching, logging, or error messages? Verified that API authorization checks are enforced at every endpoint, not just the ones your DAST scanner found? Raxis tests tenant isolation the way your most security-conscious enterprise customer would want it tested.

Your CI/CD Pipeline Is an Attack Surface

Hardcoded secrets in repos, overly permissive service account tokens, misconfigured GitHub Actions or Jenkins runners, and build artifacts with embedded credentials all create paths for supply chain compromise. Most pentest vendors don’t touch your pipeline. Raxis tests the SDLC itself, from source control to deployment, to find the weaknesses that lead to malicious code injection or artifact tampering.

A Pentest Report That Blocks Deals

Your sales team needs a pentest report to close enterprise deals. But a thin scan report with generic findings raises more questions than it answers during vendor security reviews. When a prospect’s security team reads your pentest report, they’re evaluating your security maturity, not just your vulnerability count. Raxis delivers the depth and specificity that passes enterprise due diligence.

What We Test in Software Environments

Every software environment is different. Here’s how Raxis approaches the attack surfaces that matter most to engineering teams building and shipping production software.

Web Applications & SPAs

Authentication and session management, role-based access control bypass, CSRF/SSRF, injection attacks, file upload abuse, business logic flaws in workflows like invitations, billing, and role escalation. We test React, Angular, Vue, and server-rendered apps with equal depth.

APIs & Microservices

BOLA/IDOR testing across REST and GraphQL endpoints, JWT manipulation, OAuth/OIDC flow abuse, rate limiting bypass, mass assignment, webhook signature forgery, and inter-service authentication weaknesses. We map your API surface and test every endpoint, including the undocumented ones.

Cloud Infrastructure

IAM policy analysis, S3/Blob/GCS storage exposure, container escape from Docker and Kubernetes, serverless function abuse (Lambda, Cloud Functions), VPC segmentation validation, metadata service exploitation (IMDS), and infrastructure-as-code misconfigurations across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

CI/CD Pipelines & Source Control

Secrets scanning across repos and commit history, pipeline injection through PR workflows, build runner privilege escalation, artifact registry poisoning, dependency confusion attacks, and overly permissive service account tokens in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and CircleCI environments.

Why Raxis for Software & SaaS Penetration Testing

Testers who understand how software is built

OSCP-certified engineers who know the difference between a REST endpoint and a GraphQL mutation. We test with context about how modern applications handle auth, state, multi-tenancy, and data access, not just whether your headers are configured correctly.

Reports that close enterprise deals

A Raxis report is built for the security team on the other side of your sales deal. Detailed findings with proof-of-concept exploits, clear remediation steps, and executive summaries that demonstrate security maturity. It answers their security questionnaire before they send it.

Findings your engineers can actually fix

Every finding includes the specific endpoint, request/response detail, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance written for developers. No generic “implement input validation” advice. Your team gets findings they can put directly into a Jira ticket and ship a fix.

Support SOC 2, ISO 27001, and customer security reviews

Raxis reports map to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001 Annex A controls, and the questions your enterprise customers ask in security questionnaires and vendor assessments. One engagement covers compliance, customer trust, and actual security improvement.

Retesting that validates your fixes shipped clean

After your team patches, Raxis retests to verify the fix actually works and didn’t introduce regressions. You get documented evidence of finding, fix, and verification, the exact artifact your auditor and your customer’s security team want to see.

Keep pace with your release cycle

Annual pentests go stale the week after your next deploy. Raxis Attack (PTaaS) delivers continuous, AI-augmented testing with real-time results and unlimited retesting through the Raxis One portal. New features get tested as they ship, not twelve months later.

Raxis Hack Stories

Raxis Hack Stories Icon

Our stories are based on real events encountered by Raxis engineers; however, some details have been altered or omitted to protect our customers’ identities.

The $0 Checkout

Picture this: A software company on the brink of launching their flagship SaaS application. Marketing was counting down to go-live and the engineers were confident their CI/CD pipeline had caught every bug, but, before flipping the switch, they brought in Raxis to put the product through its paces as the final gate in their DevSecOps process.

Our web application pentester zeroed in on the checkout flow and noticed something familiar: the pricing logic was being calculated client-side, with no validation happening on the server. Using Burp Suite to intercept the request, our tester rewrote the total from full retail down to $0.00 and let the transaction fly. The server happily accepted it. The order processed, the payment confirmed at zero dollars, and had this been production, the product would have shipped, free of charge, to anyone clever enough to open a proxy.

While the web app pentester digested that finding, our external network tester was already at work. The server hosting the application was running a version of SSH with a high-risk, publicly exploitable CVE, a quiet welcome mat for any attacker with a working proof of concept.

Raxis reported on both issues in detail and with remediation recommendations, and the client got moving. Developers rebuilt the pricing logic to enforce server-side validation, the server team patched SSH, and, when Raxis returned for the complimentary retest, every finding came back remediated. The application launched on time, on budget, and most importantly, secure. That is the power of testing before production: catching the critical issues while they are still cheap to fix and turning a potential disaster into a clean, confident launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a hands-on simulated attack against your applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and supporting systems. The goal is to find exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers or your customers’ security teams do, and to produce evidence that supports SOC 2 audits, ISO 27001 certification, and enterprise customer security reviews.

A DAST scanner crawls your application and flags known vulnerability patterns. It can’t test business logic, multi-tenant isolation, complex authorization chains, or API-specific vulnerabilities like BOLA/IDOR. Raxis engineers manually test these attack surfaces using the same techniques real attackers use, with full understanding of how modern SaaS architectures handle authentication, data access, and tenant boundaries.

Yes. We test for secrets in repos and commit history, pipeline injection vectors, build runner misconfigurations, artifact integrity, dependency confusion, and overly permissive service account tokens across GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, and other CI/CD platforms.

We test from authenticated sessions across tenant boundaries, attempting to access other tenants’ data through direct object references, API parameter manipulation, shared resource leakage (caching, logging, error messages), and authorization bypass at every endpoint. The goal is to prove that your isolation works at the data layer, not just the UI layer.

Absolutely. This is one of the primary reasons SaaS companies engage Raxis. Our reports are built to withstand enterprise security due diligence, with the depth, specificity, and remediation evidence that prospect security teams evaluate when deciding whether to trust your platform with their data.

Raxis Attack is our Penetration Testing as a Service platform, delivering continuous, AI-augmented testing with real-time results and unlimited retesting through the secure Raxis One portal. For software companies shipping weekly or daily, it ensures new features and infrastructure changes are tested as they deploy, not once a year.

No. Raxis coordinates with your engineering team to test safely in staging, production-mirrored, or production environments depending on your preference. We scope testing to avoid destructive operations and maintain constant communication throughout the engagement.

At minimum annually or before major releases. For teams practicing continuous delivery, Raxis Attack (PTaaS) provides ongoing testing that keeps pace with your release cadence. Many SaaS companies test continuously to maintain SOC 2 compliance evidence and stay ahead of customer security questionnaires.

Raxis testers hold industry-leading certifications including OSCP, CEH, GPEN, GFACT, and more listed on our certifications page.
