Internal Network Penetration Testing

It is a test that starts from inside your network, the position an attacker reaches after phishing an employee, stealing a laptop, or plugging into a jack. From there our engineers do what a real intruder would: capture credentials, move between systems, escalate privileges, and see how close they can get to your most sensitive data.

An external test attacks your internet-facing perimeter from the outside. An internal test assumes the perimeter has already been crossed and measures what an attacker can do once inside. Most organizations need both: the external test to check the front door, the internal test to check what happens when someone gets past it.

A scan lists potential issues based on version numbers and known signatures. A Raxis internal pentest exploits them by hand, removes false positives, chains weaknesses together, and shows the real business impact of a breach. A scanner tells you a service is out of date; we show you the domain admin access it leads to.

At least once a year, and again after any significant change to your network, such as a merger, a new site, or a major infrastructure project. PCI DSS and most other frameworks expect an annual test. Continuous testing through Raxis Attack keeps you covered between point-in-time engagements.

Most internal tests run one to two weeks, including reporting. The main drivers are the number of live hosts, the number of physical locations, and whether segmentation testing is included. We give you a firm timeline before the engagement starts.

Your internal IP ranges, a point of contact, and a place to plug in our Transporter device. That is usually all it takes. There is no onsite visit and nothing to install on your workstations.

No. By default we start unauthenticated, with no account, to mirror an attacker who just gained a foothold. Many customers also ask for an assumed-breach test, where we start with a standard user account to see how far a phished employee's access would reach. We can run either or both.

It is very unlikely. We avoid disruptive exploits by default, flag fragile or legacy systems during kickoff, and can schedule sensitive testing inside a maintenance window if you prefer. Our goal is to prove risk, not to break production.

Yes. Segmentation validation fits naturally into an internal penetration test, confirming that your cardholder data environment is isolated from out-of-scope networks. PCI DSS requires this for segmented environments, and combining it with your internal test saves time and budget.

That is your call. Some customers stay quiet to test whether their SOC or MSSP detects and responds to our activity, which is a useful measure on its own. Others notify in advance to avoid alert fatigue. We plan the approach with you during kickoff.

We can. A Transporter at each site lets us test every location remotely, or we can focus on representative sites if your offices share a common build. We scope this with you based on how your network is segmented between locations.

A full report with an executive summary for leadership and auditors, detailed technical findings with severity ratings and reproduction steps, and an attack storyboard showing exactly how we moved through your network. You also get an attestation letter and a free retest to confirm your fixes. Everything is available in real time through Raxis One.

Scope is the main factor: the number of live internal hosts, the number of locations, and whether you add segmentation testing. Contact us for a quote sized to your environment.
