Network Pen Testing
External & Internal Network Penetration Testing
Our network penetration testing simulates real-world attacks on your external perimeter and internal network to identify vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches.

External & Internal Network Penetration Testing
The Problem
Flat networks and forgotten services let one compromised host become full domain access. Most teams never see these paths until an attacker walks them.
What We Do
- Scoping
- Reconnaissance
- Exploitation
- Lateral Movement
- Report
What You Get
- External perimeter assessment
- Internal network segmentation testing
- Firewall rule review
- VPN and remote access testing
- Active Directory security assessment
- Lateral movement simulation
- Privilege escalation testing
- Comprehensive technical report
Why weeks, not months
AI-assisted evidence review, one client portal
Every Network PT engagement runs on the Praxis-Q compliance platform. You upload evidence per control, AI scores it against the requirement, and your auditor reviews in the same workflow — from scoping through to the issued, publicly verifiable certificate.
AI evidence scoring
Every upload is scored against the control before an auditor sees it — gaps surface in minutes, not at the review meeting.
One client portal
Scoping, evidence, auditor queries and status live in one place. No email chains, no spreadsheet trackers.
Auditor sign-off
Praxis-Q auditors review inside the same workflow, so review rounds shrink and the certificate issues sooner.
External & Internal Network Assessment
Our dual-layer approach tests both internet-facing attack surfaces and internal network segmentation. External testing simulates attacker reconnaissance, exploitation of exposed services, and perimeter bypass techniques. Internal testing assumes compromise and maps lateral movement opportunities—revealing how a single breached workstation escalates to full domain access. We probe firewall rule logic, test VPN tunnels, enumerate Active Directory trust relationships, and validate network microsegmentation. This end-to-end coverage identifies gaps that single-layer assessments miss, ensuring your defenses hold across every vector.
PTES & OSSTMM Methodology
Praxis-Q adheres to Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) frameworks, ensuring reproducible, industry-aligned assessments. Our structured five-phase approach—scoping, reconnaissance, exploitation, lateral movement, and reporting—delivers consistent rigor. Each vulnerability receives CVSS 3.1 scoring and business context. Reports include technical proof-of-concept, remediation prioritization, and strategic recommendations. This methodology-driven rigor satisfies audit requirements for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and RBI-SAR compliance frameworks.
Fast-Track Delivery & Global Scale
Praxis-Q's India-based engineering team delivers network pentesting in 5–7 days for medium-scope networks, with final reports within 2 days of testing completion. Our 15-20 day fast-track model accelerates compliance timelines without sacrificing depth. Distributed global delivery ensures time-zone coverage for multinational enterprises across APAC, EMEA, and Americas regions. Whether you're a startup needing rapid risk visibility or an enterprise managing geographically dispersed networks, our scaled infrastructure maintains quality and speed at every engagement scale.
Risk Prioritization & Remediation Roadmap
Raw vulnerability lists overwhelm security teams. Our reports translate technical findings into executive-grade risk summaries: criticality tiers, business impact statements, and sequenced remediation workflows. We map vulnerabilities to compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, RBI-SAR, NIST CSF), helping teams allocate budget and effort strategically. Follow-up consultation and retesting validate fixes, creating continuous assurance cycles that reduce breach probability and strengthen your security posture measurably.
Compliance & Audit Alignment
Network penetration testing is a cornerstone control for regulated industries. Our assessments support ISO 27001 Annex A.12 audits, PCI-DSS 3.4 requirements, SOC 2 System availability, HIPAA security rule validation, and RBI-SAR IT infrastructure compliance. We document control effectiveness, test detective capabilities, and provide evidence packages for auditors. Praxis-Q's certifications (ISO 27001, SSAE 18) and global audit experience ensure your pentest findings translate directly into audit closure and stakeholder confidence.
