Penetration Testing
Penetration Testing is an authorized simulated cyberattack on a computer system or network to evaluate its security by identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities.
The Best Defense is a Good Offense
Uncover Hidden Risk
Penetration testing uncovers hidden system weaknesses before malicious actors can exploit them.
Strengthen Security Posture
By simulating real-world attacks, companies can evaluate and improve their overall security strategies and controls.
Reduce Exposure Time
A Raxis Strike Penetration Test can preemptively identify security vulnerabilities, saving organizations from the devastating impact of data breaches, which on average take 277 days to detect and contain and cost $4.35 million.
Protect Your Brand
Penetration testing and the resulting attestation letter demonstrate your commitment to data security, helping build and maintain customer confidence in your brand.
Adhere to Regulatory Requirements
Penetration testing is an essential component of several regulatory compliance organizations, including PCI, HIPAA, GLBA, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and many others.
Justify Cybersecurity Spending
Safely demonstrating the effects of a real hack against your infrastructure is a highly effective method to justify the investment in cybersecurity.

Raxis Strike: Traditional Penetration Testing
Traditional Penetration Testing
Raxis Strike offers traditional penetration testing as a powerful solution to uncover hidden vulnerabilities in your website through comprehensive, manual assessments conducted by our expert team. Our approach simulates real-world attack scenarios, providing in-depth insights and actionable recommendations to strengthen your security posture and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
A Proven Approach to Penetration Testing
Raxis has been a trusted leader in cybersecurity for over a decade, offering our renowned Traditional Penetration Testing service, Raxis Strike, to organizations of all sizes and industries. Our process is built on the industry-standard MITRE ATT&CK framework, ensuring a structured and effective approach to identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities. By leveraging real-world attack techniques, we provide organizations with the insights needed to proactively secure their systems against malicious actors.
Scoping: Tailoring the Engagement to Your Needs
Every organization faces unique security challenges, so we begin by working closely with you to define the scope of the penetration test. This includes identifying the systems, applications, or networks to be tested and setting clear objectives for the engagement. Whether you need an external network test, internal system evaluation, or application-specific assessment, we tailor our testing scenarios to align with your specific needs and industry requirements.
Vulnerability Identification: Uncovering Security Weaknesses
Once the scope is defined, our expert penetration testers begin identifying vulnerabilities within your systems. Using a combination of manual techniques and advanced tools, we analyze your environment for weaknesses such as misconfigurations, outdated software, insecure protocols, or exploitable code. Unlike automated scans that often miss complex issues, our manual testing ensures a thorough assessment of even the most intricate systems.
Attack Simulation: Mimicking Real-World Threats
To provide a realistic evaluation of your security defenses, we simulate real-world cyberattacks on your systems. Our team employs the same tools and techniques used by malicious hackers to test your organization’s ability to detect and respond to threats. These simulations include testing for common attack vectors such as phishing attempts, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration.
Exploitation: Demonstrating Real-World Impact
Within the parameters defined during scoping, we take testing a step further by safely exploiting identified vulnerabilities. This controlled exploitation demonstrates how attackers could leverage weaknesses to gain unauthorized access or exfiltrate sensitive data. By showcasing the potential impact of these vulnerabilities through detailed proof-of-concept scenarios, we help you understand their severity and prioritize remediation efforts effectively.
Reporting: Delivering Actionable Insights
At the conclusion of testing, you receive a comprehensive report detailing all findings from the engagement. This report includes a prioritized list of vulnerabilities categorized by severity level (e.g., critical, high, medium), along with their associated risks and potential business impact. Each finding is accompanied by proof-of-concept exploits and clear remediation recommendations tailored to your technical team’s needs. Additionally, we provide a detailed storyboard that illustrates how an attacker could exploit multiple vulnerabilities in sequence.
Debrief: Collaborative Review of Findings
Our process doesn’t end with delivering a report—we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge. During the debrief session, our experts walk you through the results of the penetration test, answering any questions you may have and providing guidance on addressing vulnerabilities effectively. This collaborative review ensures that your team fully understands the findings and next steps for remediation.
Retest: Validating Remediation Efforts
If applicable, we offer retesting services to validate that all identified vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated. During this phase, we re-evaluate previously flagged issues to ensure they are no longer exploitable and confirm that no new risks have been introduced during remediation efforts.
Proactive Risk Identification
Raxis Strike enables organizations to uncover hidden vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. By leveraging real-world hacking techniques and manual testing, it identifies critical flaws that automated tools often miss, such as business logic errors, unconfigured systems, and complex security gaps.
Realistic Attack Simulations
Unlike traditional vulnerability scans, Raxis Strike employs ethical hackers who simulate sophisticated cyberattacks using actual hacker-created exploits. These simulations provide invaluable insights into how attackers could compromise systems, escalate privileges, and exfiltrate sensitive data.
Tailored Testing for Unique Needs
Every organization has unique security challenges based on its infrastructure, industry, and compliance requirements. Raxis Strike customizes its penetration tests to align with the customer’s specific environment, ensuring maximum relevance and effectiveness. Whether testing external networks, APIs, mobile applications, or IoT devices, the service adapts to meet diverse technology landscapes.
Industry-Specific Expertise
Raxis Strike brings industry-specific knowledge to every engagement, efficiently targeting vulnerabilities that are unique to the customer’s sector. This expertise ensures compliance with regulatory standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 while addressing sector-specific risks.
Actionable Reporting and Guidance
Customers receive a detailed report outlining all identified vulnerabilities, categorized by severity and accompanied by proof-of-concept exploits. The report also includes prioritized remediation recommendations tailored to the customer’s technical team. Additionally, Raxis provides a debrief session where experts walk through the findings and offer guidance on addressing vulnerabilities effectively.
