Penetration Testing for Compliance
Go Beyond “Check-Box Security” with a Rapid, Rigorous Pentest
Compliance Penetration Testing Done Right
01
PCI
Payment Card Industry
Our team has streamlined our sales process and implemented more efficient scheduling methods, resulting in a quick turnaround time without sacrificing accuracy. What sets us apart is our comprehensive approach to PCI pentesting – not only do we thoroughly test for vulnerabilities and provide an in-depth report, but we also include remediation testing to ensure any issues are properly resolved.
As part of our PCI penetration testing package, we also perform segmentation testing to demonstrate the separation between PCI in-scope and out-of-scope assets. This is an essential step in meeting PCI compliance.
02
Finacial Sector
Multiple Programs Require or Recommend Penetration Testing for the Financial Industry
With the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) now requiring annual penetration testing as of 2022, companies involved in financial activities are facing increased scrutiny to ensure their data is secure. This not only includes banks and lenders, but also businesses that provide services related to financial activities, such as mortgage brokers, collection agencies, and investment firms.
At Raxis, we specialize in providing penetration testing services for these industries, helping them meet regulatory requirements and protect their sensitive information. Our experienced team works with each client to conduct thorough assessments and provide detailed reports to help them improve their cybersecurity posture and mitigate potential risks.

Healthcare
Humanity and Technology: We Protect Where They Intersect
Raxis often uncovers security vulnerabilities and configuration errors within medical related systems that surprise our customers. We have breached internal medical systems holding patient records, payment systems managing insurance and credit card data, and embedded systems that are critical for patient health monitoring. Whether you’re confident you’ve closed most of the security gaps, or if you have no idea where to start, a medical penetration test from Raxis will provide valuable information on where your security risks are so that you can remediate them.
HIPAA and Meaningful Use compliance is often the reason our medical customers contact us for security services. While it’s not required to use a third party for the penetration test, a third party can often help reveal hidden security vulnerabilities that you never knew existed. Adversaries are looking for PHI data as well as ways to disrupt operations, and a breach could result in a significant cost or health risks for patients.

Cyber Insurace
Meet Requirments, Save Money, and Reduce Risk
That’s why many cybersecurity insurance companies and underwriters are requiring penetration tests before writing policies. The security questionnaires they include may seem like check-the-box forms, however, the intention is to help organizations realize the need to identify their vulnerabilities and remediate to reduce risk.
One crude method of assessing risk is by comparing a company’s spending on cybersecurity to its total revenue, total IT expenditures, or some other benchmark. Though it would seem logical that companies who spend more money on cybersecurity are more prepared, that isn’t necessarily the case. With more than a decade of experience and thousands of pentests under our belts, the Raxis team has seen countless examples of companies over-investing in the wrong cybersecurity technology, leaving parts of their attack surfaces unprotected, and/or implementing counterproductive security policies (or not enforcing effective ones).
Different Approaches to Meet Compliance Standards
Black Box
No information is provided by the client: no IP addresses, no applications, or system descriptions. Although it’s the most realistic form of pentesting and used frequently on other tests, the black-box pentest is often not very useful for PCI pentesting.
Gray Box
The customer provides partial details of the in scope assets. In a grey-box test, typically we are provided an IP range to ensure we are testing the right resources, however nothing else is disclosed. This is common in PCI pentesting.
White Box
The customer provides full details of the network and applications deemed in scope. Normally this includes IP ranges and application descriptions in order to focus the testing on a particular area. This is common in PCI pentesting credit card applications.
