Manual Penetration Testing Services

Penetration testing services that think like attackers. Not run the scans you already have.

What Are Penetration Testing Services?

Penetration testing services are authorized, simulated cyberattacks performed by security engineers to find and exploit vulnerabilities before real attackers do. Unlike automated scans that flag known issues, Raxis penetration testing services use manual exploitation and attack chaining to prove what an adversary could actually accomplish across your networks, applications, cloud, wireless, IoT, OT, and AI systems.

Penetration Testing Threat Data

Attackers Are Exploiting Vulnerabilities Faster Than Ever

Exploited vulnerabilities are now the second most common way attackers breach organizations — and the gap is closing fast. Most target known weaknesses that a thorough penetration test would have caught. If your provider is running the same scanners your team already uses, you’re not finding what attackers will.

Why Other Penetration Test Companies Fall Short

Automated, Checkbox Pentests Leave You Exposed

Too many penetration testing providers run automated scans, repackage the output, and call it a pentest. You get a thick report full of scanner noise. The vulnerabilities that actually put your business at risk stay hidden.

Raxis X icon on report

AI Alone Isn’t a Pentest

AI tools accelerate discovery, but they can’t chain exploits, understand business logic, or think like a human adversary. And if your organization is deploying AI applications, those systems need their own dedicated security assessment, one that traditional penetration testing wasn’t built to provide.

Arrow circle application icon

Proof, Not Promises

A penetration test should show you exactly how an attacker gets in, how far they get, and what they take. Raxis delivers proof-of-concept exploits, full attack storyboards, and prioritized remediation. Not theoretical risk scores.

Types of Penetration Testing Services

Expert-led assessments across every layer of your technology stack — available through both Raxis Strike and Raxis Attack PTaaS.

Why Penetration Test Quality Matters

A checkbox pentest satisfies your auditor. A Raxis penetration test shows you where you’re actually exposed.

Breaches Exploit What Scanners Miss

The average U.S. data breach now costs $10.22 million, and organizations take an average of 241 days to identify and contain one. Most exploit vulnerabilities a thorough penetration test would have caught.

Validated Exploits, Not Scan Dumps

Every critical Raxis finding includes a proof-of-concept exploit and a step-by-step attack storyboard showing the full kill chain. From initial access to data exfiltration, you’ll see exactly what an attacker could do.

Remediation You Can Act On

Raxis penetration testing delivers prioritized, specific fix guidance, and definitely not a 200-page PDF of raw scanner output. Your engineering team gets clear steps to close the gaps, and subsequent retesting.

The Raxis Difference: Manual Penetration Testing Services

Scanners find known vulnerabilities. Raxis engineers find the ones that matter — and prove they’re exploitable.

How Raxis Penetration Testing Works

Guided by the MITRE ATT&CK framework and grounded in NIST 800-115, our methodology reflects how real adversaries operate — not how textbooks say they should.

01

Scoping & Threat Modeling

We define targets, objectives, and rules of engagement. Threat models ensure testing mirrors the attacks that matter most to your business.

02

Intelligence Gathering

We map your attack surface through OSINT, dark web reconnaissance, and technical profiling before any exploit attempt.

03

AI Accelerated Discovery

AI tools and custom scanners rapidly identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed services across your environment.

04

Manual Exploitation & Attack Chaining

Our engineers exploit vulnerabilities, chain weaknesses, escalate privileges, and move laterally to demonstrate what a real attacker could achieve.

05

Post Exploitation & Impact Demo

We demonstrate full attack impact: data exfiltration, persistent access, and lateral movement. Storyboard walkthroughs show the complete kill chain.

06

Reporting & Remediation

Findings delivered through the Raxis One portal, prioritized by risk, with proof-of-concept screenshots and remediation steps your team can act on immediately.

07

Debrief & Advisory

Our engineers walk your team through every finding and collaborate on a remediation plan tailored to your resources and risk tolerance.

08

Remediation Retesting

After your team implements fixes, we retest to verify vulnerabilities are properly closed, not just patched on paper.

Frequently Asked Questions About Penetration Testing

A penetration test is a controlled, authorized simulation of a real-world cyberattack against your systems. Unlike automated vulnerability scans, penetration testing uses manual exploitation techniques to demonstrate how an attacker could gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, move through your network, and exfiltrate sensitive data. The result is a clear picture of your actual security risk — not just a list of theoretical vulnerabilities.

A vulnerability scan runs automated tools against your systems to identify known issues from a database. Penetration testing goes far deeper. Expert engineers manually exploit vulnerabilities, chain multiple weaknesses together, and simulate sophisticated real-world attacks to demonstrate actual business impact. Scans tell you what might be wrong. A penetration test proves what an attacker can actually do.

Raxis provides external network, internal network, cloud infrastructure, web application, API, mobile application, wireless, IoT, OT/SCADA, and full-scope red team penetration testing services. We also offer specialized testing for compliance frameworks including PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, GLBA, ISO 27001, and CMMC.

Raxis combines elite human expertise with AI-powered tools to accelerate discovery and expand attack surface coverage. Our AI augmentation speeds reconnaissance, identifies patterns, and surfaces hidden vulnerabilities — but testing is always led by certified engineers who chain exploits, assess business logic, and demonstrate real impact. We also develop custom tools and scripts tailored to each engagement. Your data is never used for AI training.

Raxis Strike is a comprehensive, point-in-time penetration test — ideal for annual compliance assessments or targeted security evaluations. Raxis Attack is our Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) platform, delivering unlimited, continuous penetration testing with real-time findings and seamless integration into your development workflows through Raxis One.

Yes. The Raxis Research Team has discovered and published multiple CVEs across enterprise platforms including ManageEngine and PRTG Network Monitor. This original vulnerability research reflects the depth of expertise our engineers bring to every engagement — they don’t just run known exploits, they find new ones.

Timelines depend on scope and complexity. A focused external network or web application test typically takes 1–2 weeks. Larger engagements covering multiple systems, applications, and network segments may take 3–4 weeks. We provide a clear timeline during scoping.

Raxis penetration testing is designed to be safe and non-disruptive. Our methodology prioritizes system stability, and we coordinate closely with your team on timing and scope. In over 14 years of testing, disruptions are extremely rare.

You receive a comprehensive report through the Raxis One portal with findings prioritized by severity, proof-of-concept exploit demonstrations, full attack storyboards, and specific remediation guidance. We also conduct a live debrief session to walk your team through every finding.

Yes. Every Raxis engagement includes remediation retesting to verify that vulnerabilities have been properly resolved — not just patched on paper.
