Raxis
Critical finding, with customer data exposure.
You get the attack path. Not just a list of low findings.
Low-Sev to Game Over
A single low-sev finding rarely ends there. We chain misconfigs, weak creds, and app flaws into the exact path to your crown jewels.
No Two Tests Alike
Your stack is one of a kind, so our attacks are too. We build custom scripts and payloads tuned to your internet facing, apps, cloud, and APIs.
Robots Recon, Humans Own
Automation handles the grunt-work recon. Our pentesters validate exploitability, test business logic, and eliminate the scanner noise.
Fix This First
You get a clear picture of what an attacker could pull off, ranked by real risk, with steps to reproduce and remediate each one. Patch the worst, sleep better.
Why Choose Raxis for Penetration Testing
The pentester on your scope call is the one breaking in. And the one retesting your fix.
Original Research Mindset
We publish CVEs. When something looks off, we dig until we understand it.
Retesting Comes Standard
After you remediate, we retest to confirm the fix actually holds, so you close the loop instead of guessing.
Start Fast, Fix Fast
We move from scope call to kickoff quickly. Findings land in one to two weeks for most scopes, so you fix things while they’re still fresh.
Real-Time Findings Portal
See vulnerabilities in Raxis One the moment we confirm them. No waiting around for a PDF.
Backed by 15+ Years
We’ve been breaking into things since 2011. The experience shows.
US-Based Team, Compliance-Ready
Certified, US-based testers, reports your auditors accept. Visit the Raxis Trust Center.
Types of Penetration Testing Targets
Expert-led assessments across every layer of your technology stack.
Active Directory
We map the path from one domain user to Domain Admin through Kerberoasting, delegation abuse, and AD CS flaws.
API
APIs are heavily targeted and rarely tested. We find broken authentication, data exposure, and authorization flaws.
AI & LLM
We test LLM apps, RAG pipelines, AI agents, and system prompts for prompt injection, data leakage, and abuse paths traditional pentests miss.
Blockchain & Crypto
We test blockchain and crypto platforms for authentication flaws, key management weaknesses, and misconfigurations.
Cloud & VPC
We test cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) for privilege escalation, identity misconfigurations, and exposed keys and roles.
External Network
We probe your perimeter the way a real attacker would, finding the weaknesses that give them a foothold.
Internal Network
We test internal networks for lateral movement, privilege escalation, and the misconfigurations that lead to domain-wide access.
IoT
We find vulnerabilities across the full IoT stack: hardware, firmware, cloud APIs, and wireless protocols.
Mobile Application
We test iOS and Android apps for insecure storage, weak encryption, and backend vulnerabilities.
OT
We test SCADA, ICS, and industrial control systems for exploitable vulnerabilities without disrupting operations.
Phishing
Targeted phishing, spear phishing, and pretexting that show how your team responds under real attack.
Physical
Our Red Team breaches your facilities through tailgating, badge cloning, lock picking, and pretexting.
Salesforce
Salesforce holds your most sensitive customer data. We find misconfigured sharing rules, exposed APIs, and weak access controls.
Thick Client
Decompile desktop apps to find hardcoded secrets, insecure local storage, and bypass client-side controls.
Web Application
Manual testing for logic flaws, authentication bypasses, and injection vulnerabilities that automated scanners miss.
Wireless
Our Transporter hardware deploys onsite to find rogue access points, weak encryption, and misconfigurations that bypass your perimeter.
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
A U.S. breach now runs $10.22 million and takes 241 days to catch and contain (IBM’s 2025 report). Plenty start with a known vulnerability nobody bothered to validate.
Validated Exploits, Proven Impact
Based on our proven process, every critical finding ships with a working proof-of-concept and a step-by-step storyboard of the full kill chain. Sometimes, this means chaining three Low findings into a Critical.
Remediation Plan You Can Act On
You get prioritized fixes with the exact steps to close each gap, ranked so your engineers know what to hit first.

FAQ: Penetration Testing
What is a penetration test?
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.
How is penetration testing different from a vulnerability scan?
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.
What types of penetration testing does Raxis offer?
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.
What is AI-augmented penetration testing?
Raxis combines elite human expertise with AI-powered tools to accelerate discovery and expand attack surface coverage. Our optional 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. We are also able to only use client-approved tooling if specified.
What’s the difference between Raxis Strike and Raxis Attack?
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.
Has Raxis discovered its own vulnerabilities?
Yes. The Raxis Research Team has discovered and published 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.
How long does a penetration test take?
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.
Will a penetration test disrupt my systems?
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. Disruptions are extremely rare.
What do I receive after the test?
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.
Do you offer retesting after remediation?
Yes. Every Raxis engagement includes remediation retesting to verify that vulnerabilities have been properly resolved, not just patched on paper.
Do you offer expedited penetration testing?
Yes. If you're up against a deadline, tell us on the scope call and we'll work to get you scheduled sooner. Expedited engagements may carry an additional fee when meeting your timeline requires us to shift other work or add testers to the scope. We'll tell you before you sign anything, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
