Expert-Led Phishing, Spear Phishing, and Vishing Tests That Go Beyond Click Rates
Why Phishing Remains the #1 Attack Vector
Your People Are the Target
Your firewalls are tuned. Your endpoints are managed. Your patches are current. None of that matters when an attacker picks up the phone, crafts a convincing email, or impersonates your CEO. Phishing bypasses every technical control you’ve built — because it targets the one layer you can’t patch: human judgment.

Our Phishing Assessment Services
Every Raxis phishing assessment is built from scratch by our Red Team engineers — no recycled templates, no automated platforms. We show you where your defenses break down and what an attacker could do once they’re in.
Phishing Testing
Controlled phishing campaigns using the same tactics real adversaries deploy — convincing pretexts, look-alike domains, and credential harvesting pages that mirror active threats. When employees take the bait, we don’t just log the click. If scope allows, we use those harvested credentials to demonstrate real impact: account access, lateral movement, and data exposure.
Spear Phishing Testing
Generic phishing catches the careless. Spear phishing catches the careful. Our engineers conduct OSINT on specific targets — roles, reporting chains, communication patterns — then craft personalized emails impersonating trusted colleagues, executives, or vendors. Each message is built to deceive one person using context only a determined attacker would assemble.
Vishing Assessments (Voice Phishing Testing)
Voice phishing attacks surged 442% in 2024, yet most organizations have never tested against them. Our engineers place live, human-operated phone calls impersonating IT support, executives, and vendors — using urgency and authority to coax out passwords, MFA codes, and account details. No scripts. No robocalls. Real social engineering pressure through the channel your team isn’t watching.
What You Get From a Raxis Phishing Assessment
Every engagement ends with more than a spreadsheet of click rates. Raxis delivers findings you can act on immediately — from individual risk exposure to organization-wide security gaps — with clear remediation guidance at every level.
Executive Risk Briefing
A clear, jargon-free summary of your organization’s exposure — what worked, what failed, and what an attacker could have done next. Built for leadership and board-level reporting.
Technical Findings & Attack Narrative
Step-by-step documentation of every attack path — from initial phish to credential harvest to exploitation. Full MITRE ATT&CK mapping included.
Employee Susceptibility Analysis
Granular breakdown of who clicked, who submitted credentials, and who reported the phish. Identifies high-risk departments and individuals for targeted follow-up.
Remediation & Awareness Training
Actionable recommendations for closing the gaps we found — from email security configuration to tailored employee training programs that address the specific weaknesses your assessment revealed.
Phishing Integrated With Our Red Team Expertise
Phishing is just the door. Our Red Team shows you what’s on the other side.
Handled by Red Team Engineers
Your phishing tests are conducted by the same elite professionals who lead our Red Team operations, ensuring hyper-realistic scenarios that go beyond basic templates.
Seamless Red Team Integration
Phishing often serves as the initial access vector in broader Red Team assessments, allowing us to demonstrate chained attacks (e.g., credential harvesting leading to lateral movement).
Real-World Impact
By leveraging Red Team methodologies like the MITRE ATT&CK framework, we reveal not just click rates, but how phishing exploits could lead to full compromise.
Compliance
Phishing Testing That Satisfies Your Compliance Requirements
Many regulatory frameworks require organizations to assess their vulnerability to social engineering attacks. A Raxis phishing penetration test provides the documentation and evidence you need to satisfy these mandates — while delivering security insights that go far beyond the checkbox.

Real-World Phishing Penetration Test: Credential Harvest to Full Access
Oh, if clicks were wishes. After decades of extended car warranty negotiations and speed dates with Nigerian princes, nearly all organizations remain keenly aware phishing attacks are part of doing business. We’re all human, but it’s the forehead slap moments that seem to sting the most. Maintaining that vigilance while your inbox explodes on a Friday afternoon is no small challenge. We’ve all been there, and the bad guys know it. We don’t get to share too many of them, so sit back and enjoy a few war stories our team has been a part of. While no actual employees were harmed in the making of this story, they quickly learned that class was in session.
As with many other social engineering engagements, we created a phish based on a spoofed login portal. The assessment scope allowed our engineer to pivot off any harvested credentials. So, with that as the focus, he leapt at the first set that came in. Glee quickly faded as he found the organization enforced MFA through a push notification. Thinking the gig was up, our tester stepped away in search of commiseration coffee. Bingo! When he returned the user had approved the MFA push.
The best advice for outsmarting a professional phisherman is to confirm a communication’s legitimacy with the person or organization that allegedly sent it. But what about the phish within the phish? For this, our team created a complex phishing email claiming to be from our customer’s own IT department. Using company branding and styles found on publicly available customer sites, the branded email urged users to login to their email, using a link provided in the email of course, to re-authenticate after an upgrade. You guessed it, this link was for a phishing site that stole the entered credentials and then redirected, smoke and mirrors style, to an error page. Here’s where the darkness became all encompassing. Both the email and the error page provided a number to contact IT for help. Not only did employees enter credentials, but the phone started ringing. Grateful to have the call answered quickly by a friendly person, several of these people told our tester other sites where those credentials should work and provided info that helped our tester login. Trust and rapport were inferred because the employees made the call to the phisher instead of the other way around.
