Penetration Testing Services

Find out what an attacker would find—before they do.

Don't wait for a breach to expose your weak points. OXEN Technology’s rigorous Penetration Testing services simulate real-world cyberattacks to uncover hidden vulnerabilities, giving you the power to secure your environment before malicious actors exploit it. 

Why Penetration Testing?

In today's threat landscape, perimeter defenses aren't enough. Automated tools only catch known flaws, leaving the door open for creative attackers. To truly secure your infrastructure, you need to think like a hacker. 

Our security experts safely push your network to its limits, identifying exploitable gaps in your external defenses, internal systems, and even your human firewall. We don't just hand you a list of problems; we provide the strategic roadmap you need to fix them.

Comprehensive Testing: What’s Included

Our engagements are thorough, structured, and tailored to your specific technical environment. 
1
External Penetration Testing

We assess your external-facing environment, hunting for exploitable vulnerabilities exactly the way an outside attacker would. If there is a way in from the public internet, our team will find it and show you how to shut it down.

2
Internal Penetration Testing

What happens if an attacker bypasses your perimeter through phishing or compromised credentials? We test from inside your network to surface lateral movement risks and privilege escalation paths, ensuring a single compromised endpoint doesn't lead to a total system takeover.

3
Vulnerability Scanning

Alongside our manual exploits, we run structured vulnerability scans to ensure broad, foundational security coverage across your network, applications, and endpoints.

4
Social Engineering Assessment (Optional)

Your technology might be secure, but what about your team? This optional human-based testing evaluates whether your staff can be manipulated into handing over access or sensitive data, helping you identify critical training gaps.

5
Technical Report & Executive Summary

At the end of the engagement, we bridge the gap between IT and the boardroom. You will receive a full technical report detailing every finding, its severity, and specific remediation steps, paired with an executive summary that translates complex technical findings into clear business risk for leadership.

The OXEN Advantage

We believe cybersecurity testing should be decisive, actionable, and transparent. 
Manual Ingenuity Meets Automated Scale
Automated tools only catch what they already know. Real attackers rely on judgment and creativity. We use industry-leading automated scanning paired with rigorous manual testing to uncover the complex, chained vulnerabilities that software alone misses.
Prioritized Remediation
A massive list of broken systems is overwhelming. We categorize every finding by severity and pair it with specific, actionable remediation steps. You’ll know exactly what to fix first and why.
Predictable, Defined Timelines
No indefinite, open-ended scopes. Our engagements run on a strict 4-6 week timeline with clearly defined milestones. You will always know exactly where we are in the process and what deliverable is coming next.
Lightning-Fast SLAs
When disaster strikes, your clients expect answers fast. Our 30-minute critical incident response time makes your brand look like a hero.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?

A vulnerability scan identifies known weaknesses using automated tools. A penetration test goes further: OXEN's team actively attempts to exploit those weaknesses (and others) to determine the real-world impact. Think of a scan as finding the unlocked doors and a pen test as actually walking through them.

What does the engagement scope cover?

OXEN tests external-facing systems, internal network environments, and optionally includes social engineering. Physical testing outside of onsite penetration tactics is not included in this offering.

How does onboarding and kickoff work?

Week 1 is dedicated to a kickoff meeting, information gathering, and provisioning the access and coordination your environment requires. You'll designate a single technical point of contact to work with OXEN throughout the engagement.

What do we get at the end?

You receive a full technical report with an executive summary, detailed findings with technical evidence, impact analysis, and prioritized remediation steps. OXEN also delivers an executive briefing to walk through findings with your leadership team.

How is penetration testing priced?

This is a project-based engagement. Pricing depends on scope (number of systems, external vs. internal, social engineering inclusion). Contact OXEN to discuss your environment and get a scoped estimate.

What's NOT included?

Physical security testing beyond onsite penetration tactics is out of scope. If you need physical security assessments (lock picking, tailgating, etc.), that requires separate scoping.

What happens after we get the report?

The report gives you a prioritized remediation list. OXEN can help you plan remediation through your existing managed services engagement, or discuss additional project work if needed. The pen test itself is an assessment, not a remediation service.

How often should we run a penetration test?

Annual testing is standard for most organizations, and is required by several compliance frameworks. Organizations that undergo significant infrastructure changes, add new systems, or operate in regulated industries may need to test more frequently.
