PCI DSS 4.0
We support Requirement 11.4 with manual exploitation, segmentation validation where applicable, and the documented methodology QSAs expect under v4.0.
Compliance Penetration Testing Services
Real skill leaves evidence. Your auditor gets a report they can use. You get the path an attacker would have taken, and the fix.
PCI DSS Pentesting
SOC 2
Auditor-ready evidence for the security Trust Services Criteria, showing your controls hold up to real exploitation rather than policy review alone.
HIPAA Security Rule
Web application and network testing that surfaces real ePHI exposure, supporting the Security Rule’s risk analysis and evaluation expectations under 164.308.
GLBA Safeguards Rule
Periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessment evidence for the FTC Safeguards Rule testing expectations under 16 CFR 314.4(d).
ISO/IEC 27001:2022
Technical vulnerability testing evidence aligned with Annex A 8.8 for the management of technical vulnerabilities.
CMMC 2.0
Testing aligned to NIST SP 800-171 objectives and Level 3 expectations for DoD contractors protecting CUI.
NIST SP 800-115
Our methodology follows the federal technical guide to security testing and assessment.
NIST CSF 2.0
Real exploitation evidence that informs risk management across Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
GDPR Article 32
Supports the requirement to regularly test and evaluate the effectiveness of your security measures.
FedRAMP
Testing that follows FedRAMP Penetration Test Guidance and required attack vectors for cloud service providers.
CIS Controls v8
Validates Control 18 by confirming your defenses work as intended.
OWASP
Manual testing built on the Web Security Testing Guide, plus the Top 10 for LLM Applications for AI systems.
FTC Section 5
Real-world exploit validation that helps demonstrate reasonable security practices.
Required by Your Framework
Evidence, Not Assertions
Auditors increasingly want proof that controls work under real attack, not a policy document that says they should.
One Test, Many Frameworks
A single well-scoped engagement can produce evidence for several frameworks at once, so you test once and report everywhere.
Reports Auditors Accept
The report is the evidence trail of a real engineer doing real work. Everything you need to close findings, prove your posture, and hand your auditor clean evidence, tracked in real time in Raxis One.
Executive Summary
A concise overview of risk and business impact, written for leadership, boards, and auditors.
Technical Findings
Every finding with a severity rating, reproduction steps, and clear remediation guidance.
Attestation Letter
A shareable letter confirming the testing was performed, ready for customers, partners, and regulators.
Mapped to Your Framework
Findings and methodology documented so your evidence lines up with the requirement you are answering.
Included Retest
We verify your fixes and deliver a clean final report at no extra cost.
Senior U.S. Engineers
Every test is run by certified, U.S.-based Raxis engineers. No outsourcing, no junior testers learning on your systems.
FAQ: Compliance Penetration Testing
Does a penetration test satisfy my compliance requirement?
In most cases, yes. Frameworks like PCI DSS explicitly require penetration testing, and others such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 expect it as evidence that your controls work. We scope the engagement to the requirement you are answering and document it so your auditor accepts it.
Which frameworks actually require penetration testing?
PCI DSS requires it outright. SOC 2, HIPAA, GLBA, ISO 27001, CMMC, FedRAMP, and others either require it or strongly expect it as part of a defensible program. If you tell us your obligations, we will map testing to each one.
What’s the difference between a compliance scan and a penetration test?
Yes. Most of the underlying testing is the same across frameworks, so a single well-scoped engagement can produce evidence for several at once. We map the findings to each requirement in the report.
Do you provide an attestation letter?
Yes. Every engagement includes a letter confirming the testing was performed and its scope, which you can share with customers, partners, and regulators.
Will my auditor accept the report?
Yes. Our reports are written to satisfy QSAs and auditors, with an executive summary, detailed findings, methodology, and remediation guidance. We regularly support customers through PCI, SOC 2, HIPAA, and other audits.
Can I include PCI segmentation testing?
Yes. Segmentation validation fits naturally into an internal penetration test, confirming your cardholder data environment is isolated from out-of-scope networks. Combining the two saves time and budget.
How often do we need to test for compliance?
At least annually, and after any significant change to your environment. PCI DSS and most frameworks require this cadence. Continuous testing through Raxis Attack covers you between annual engagements.
How long does it take?
Most engagements run one to two weeks including reporting, depending on scope. We provide a clear timeline during scoping so you can plan around audit deadlines.
Do you offer retesting after we remediate?
Yes. Every engagement includes retesting to confirm your fixes hold, and we deliver a clean final report at no extra cost.
