Penetration Testing

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

Schedule a 30 Minute Walkthrough

Raxis Attacks.
Raxis Protects.

Scanners flag the easy stuff. We chain the weaknesses they skip, slip past your defenses, and prove exactly how an attacker gets in before one does.

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 make the calls that matter: validating exploitability, testing business logic, and dropping 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.

Real Exploits Expose Real Risk

Exploiting vulnerabilities is now the number one way in, past stolen credentials for the first time in 19 years*. Most hackers use known bugs already sitting in your scan results.

We prove which ones an attacker can walk right through, then hand you the fix.

*Verizon DBIR 2026

2026 PENETRATION TESTING THREAT DATA

SOURCE: VERIZON DBIR 2026

Breaches arising from exploited vulnerabilities 31%
Known exploited vulnerabilities left not remediated 74%
Year-over-year rise in vulnerability exploitation 55%

The throughline: the vulnerabilities getting exploited are already known and already scannable. They just weren’t validated or fixed. Closing that gap is what a Raxis pentest does.

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.

fast forward time icon

Results in 1-2 Weeks

Kickoff to findings in one to two weeks for most scopes. Fix things while they’re still fresh.

Types of Penetration Testing

Expert-led assessments across every layer of your technology stack.

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 and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) for lateral movement, privilege escalation, and misconfigurations.

Web Application

Manual testing for logic flaws, authentication bypasses, and injection vulnerabilities that automated scanners miss.

API

APIs are heavily targeted and rarely tested. We find broken authentication, data exposure, and authorization flaws.

Wireless

Our Transporter hardware deploys onsite to find rogue access points, weak encryption, and misconfigurations that bypass your perimeter.

Mobile Application

We test iOS and Android apps for insecure storage, weak encryption, and backend vulnerabilities.

AI & LLM

We test LLM apps, RAG pipelines, AI agents, and system prompts for prompt injection, data leakage, and abuse paths traditional pentests miss.

IoT and wireless network icon

IoT

We find vulnerabilities across the full IoT stack: hardware, firmware, cloud APIs, and wireless protocols.

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.

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. We find it, prove it, and drive the fix before someone else gets there first.

Validated Exploits, Proven Impact

Every critical finding ships with a working proof-of-concept and a step-by-step storyboard of the full kill chain. From first foothold to data walking out the door, you see exactly what an attacker could pull off.

Remediation 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. Then we retest to confirm every hole is actually shut.

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.

Penetration Testing FAQ

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 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.

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.
