Penetration Testing Services

Your pentest should find what attackers will. Not just what scanners already know.

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.

Breaches Exploit What Scanners Miss

The average data breach costs $4.88 million and takes over 270 days to detect. Most exploit vulnerabilities a thorough penetration test would have caught. If your provider runs the same tools your team already uses, you’re paying for a false sense of security.

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 see exactly what an attacker could do, not a theoretical risk rating.

Remediation You Can Act On Immediately

Raxis penetration testing delivers prioritized, specific fix guidance — not a 200-page PDF of scanner output. Your engineering team gets clear steps to close the gaps that matter most, and retesting to confirm they’re resolved.

What Sets Raxis Penetration Testing Services Apart

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

Original Vulnerability Research

Our team doesn’t just use other people’s exploits — we discover our own. Raxis engineers have published multiple CVEs across enterprise platforms including ManageEngine and PRTG Network Monitor. That same research-driven mindset powers every penetration test we deliver.

AI-Augmented, Human-Led Testing

We deploy AI-powered reconnaissance and custom-built tools to accelerate discovery across your attack surface. Then our certified engineers take over — chaining vulnerabilities, exploiting business logic flaws, and demonstrating impact that no automated tool can replicate.

Custom Tooling and Tradecraft

Off-the-shelf tools have signatures that defenders recognize. Raxis engineers build custom scripts, payloads, and attack chains tailored to your specific environment — the same approach real adversaries use.

U.S.-Based, Elite-Certified Team

Every Raxis penetration test is performed by career offensive security professionals holding OSCP, OSCE, GPEN, CISSP, and other industry-recognized certifications. No junior analysts. No outsourced labor. No scripts without context.

Two Ways to Test. One Standard of Excellence.

Raxis offers continuous penetration testing and point-in-time assessments — both powered by the same elite team and AI-augmented methodology.

Types of Penetration Testing Services

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

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 target systems, objectives, and rules of engagement with your team. Custom threat models ensure testing mirrors the attack scenarios that matter most to your business.

02

Intelligence Gathering

Our engineers map your attack surface through OSINT, dark web reconnaissance, and technical profiling — building a complete picture before any exploit is attempted.

03

AI-Accelerated Discovery

We deploy AI-powered tools and custom scanners to rapidly identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed services across your environment — covering more ground in less time.

04

Manual Exploitation & Attack Chaining

This is where Raxis earns its reputation. Our engineers manually exploit vulnerabilities, chain weaknesses together, escalate privileges, and move laterally — demonstrating what a real attacker could achieve, not just what a scanner flags.

05

Post-Exploitation & Impact Demonstration

We go beyond initial access. Raxis demonstrates full attack impact — data exfiltration, persistent access, lateral movement — through signature storyboard walkthroughs that show the complete kill chain.

06

Reporting & Remediation Guidance

Detailed findings delivered through the Raxis One portal — prioritized by risk, backed by proof-of-concept screenshots, and paired with specific remediation steps your team can act on immediately.

07

Debrief & Advisory

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

08

Remediation Retesting

After your team implements fixes, Raxis retests to verify vulnerabilities are properly closed — not just patched on paper.

Frequently Asked Questions About Penetration Testing Services

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.
