Penetration Testing Methodology

Methodically Exposing Hidden Threats

For over 14 years, Raxis has been a trusted penetration testing company, partnering with organizations of all sizes and industries. We deliver exceptional penetration testing services through our Raxis Strike offering, blending expert manual testing with advanced automation for stronger security. Guided by the MITRE ATT&CK framework, our US based team takes an AI-augmented approach to precisely identify and address vulnerabilities, providing comprehensive assessments to truly strengthen your defenses.

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 penetration testing services to align with your specific needs and industry requirements.

Raxis meticulously gathers and analyzes publicly available data about your organization and its employees to identify potential security risks. From public websites and social media profiles to domain registries and dark web sources, we uncover critical information that cybercriminals could exploit. Our expert team evaluates this data to detect vulnerabilities, such as exposed credentials or sensitive details, enabling you to mitigate risks before they’re weaponized.

Once the scope is defined, our penetration testing services identify vulnerabilities across your systems using a combination of manual techniques and advanced tools. Our experts analyze for issues such as misconfigurations, outdated software, insecure protocols, and exploitable code. Unlike automated scans, our hands-on approach delivers a thorough assessment, uncovering complex vulnerabilities that automated tools often miss.

Raxis enhances security with a dedicated threat modeling phase as part of our penetration testing services. Using both manual and AI-assisted tools, we identify and catalog your critical assets, map potential threats using intelligence from public sources and the dark web, and develop detailed attack plans to simulate real adversary tactics. This proactive approach delivers actionable strategies, helping your organization prioritize risks and build stronger defenses against sophisticated cyber threats.

We simulate real world cyberattacks with manually created, open source, and AI-assisted tools to deliver a realistic evaluation of your security defenses. Our team uses the same techniques as malicious hackers to test your ability to detect and respond to threats like phishing, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration. This commitment to advanced testing is why organizations turn to us as the leading penetration testing company called in to clean up after others fall short.

As part of our penetration testing services, we safely exploit identified vulnerabilities within scoped parameters to demonstrate how attackers could gain unauthorized access or exfiltrate sensitive data. Our controlled approach provides detailed proof of concept scenarios, helping you understand the potential impact, prioritize remediation, and strengthen your security posture.

Raxis penetration testing services reveal the real world impact of a breach through detailed post exploitation testing. We evaluate compromised systems based on data sensitivity and the possibility of further network attacks. By using manual techniques that mirror current threats, our team simulates pivoting, privilege escalation, and data compromise to uncover critical risks. When appropriate, we safely exfiltrate and redact data to demonstrate actual exposure, delivering actionable insights to help strengthen your defenses against advanced adversaries.

At the end of each engagement, Raxis delivers a comprehensive report with all findings. The report prioritizes vulnerabilities by severity, explains associated risks and business impact, and provides proof of concept exploits with clear, tailored remediation recommendations for your technical team. It also includes a detailed storyboard showing how an attacker could exploit multiple vulnerabilities in sequence.

Raxis penetration testing services go beyond simply reporting vulnerabilities. In a comprehensive debrief session, our experts guide you through the test findings, clarify results, and answer your questions. We offer tailored, actionable recommendations and help prioritize remediation, collaborating on a strategic plan that enables your team to efficiently mitigate risks and maintain strong defenses against evolving cyber threats.

Raxis penetration testing services include comprehensive retesting to ensure your remediation efforts are effective. We thoroughly re-evaluate previously identified vulnerabilities to confirm they are resolved and no longer exploitable. Our rigorous process also checks for new risks that may have emerged during remediation, giving you confidence in your strengthened security and protection against evolving threats.
