Trusted By Organizations Across All Verticals
As a trusted security partner for organizations ranging from small start-ups to the Fortune 500, we pride ourselves on providing what you need to make data-driven decisions to optimize your resources and navigate the current cybersecurity landscape. With clients in every major vertical, we understand the unique challenges you face and how to tailor our assessments to meet your needs.
Our Process
Our first step is to jump on a quick call with you and one of our lead engineers to understand your organization’s needs and to scope the penetration test. Within a few hours following this call, you will have a proposal with pricing information and next steps.
Our Proposal will have everything you need to make a decision, including scope, our detailed methodology for the in-scope assessments, pricing information, and the biography of a lead engineer who will be directly involved with your assessment.
Should you choose to move forward with Triaxiom, we will provide the required contracts to get the project started. Once contracts are signed, we will assign a project manager to your account that will work with you to schedule the kick-off call and execution of the assessment.
On the kickoff call, we will review the Rules of Engagement document that will govern the project. It will include all project contracts, the rules the team will follow during testing, the testing schedule, and allow you to provide the necessary technical details to facilitate your assessment.
Once we are on the same page, we will get started. While execution times vary depending on the scope, on average, most projects take one to two weeks of active testing to complete.
All of our assessments go through two rounds of Quality Assurance to ensure our reports and tests meet the highest standards. This includes a technical QA process to ensure our methodology was followed and all evidence was properly collected/analyzed. This is followed by a thorough documentation QA to ensure our reports are consistent and actionable.
Once the reports are complete, we will share them with you via our secure portal. Finally, we will jump on a deliverable presentation to meet with your team to review all findings and answer any questions you may have.
At Triaxiom Security, our primary goal is to make your organization more secure. As part of that, any findings identified during our test that you wish to remediate can be included in a one-time retest within 90 days of report delivery, free of charge. The team will validate that your remediation efforts were effective and will update the reports to reflect your heightened security posture.
Deliverables
Each client engagement concludes with a comprehensive report that clearly outlines your organization’s security posture and testing results. Key features of the report include:
- Executive summary highlighting strengths, risks, and takeaways
- Detailed results from the internal penetration testing
- Clear descriptions of risks, affected systems, evidence, and prioritized remediation recommendations
- Visual summaries and a risk rating scale
- Roadmap to gradually improve security posture

- Public Resources That Should Be Private: We frequently find databases, application servers, and internal tools that are deployed in public subnets, when they have no requirement to be exposed to the internet.
- Permission Sprawl and Credential Management: Over-provisioned IAM roles and policies are extremely common in modern cloud environments. Many organizations operate hundreds or thousands of roles governing tens of thousands of granular service permissions. The sheer scale makes manual review unsustainable, requiring automation, aggregation tools, and continuous monitoring to manage privileges effectively and prevent unnecessary access.
- Lack of Visibility: Continuous monitoring and threat intelligence mapped to your cloud architecture are critical for detecting active exploits. Understanding normal workload behavior allows you to identify anomalies and potential threats, including malware activity, command-and-control traffic, and privilege abuse.
- The “Secure by Default” Myth: Understanding Cloud Security Realities: You’ve likely heard conflicting statements: “The cloud is secure by default” and “The cloud is NOT secure by default.” Both are true, and understanding this paradox is crucial to protecting your organization.
- Temporary Infrastructure: The cloud is an excellent platform for temporary, sandbox, environments for development and proof-of-concept work. Unfortunately, discovering these environments commonly over-privileged and not properly disposed of are a common finding in our assessments. The longer you are in the cloud, the more cruft that is likely lurking around your cloud architecture.

The time required to perform a cloud security assessment can vary based on the types of cloud services in use and the number of tenancies included in the assessment. Assessments can be run concurrently with different engineers performing the work to speed things up. With that said, most cloud security assessments can be completed in one week, where a more complex assessment could last two to three weeks.
On average, organizations with a small cloud footprint, a small number of cloud services and tenancies can expect pricing to start around $10,000. Larger environments with dozens of services and tenancies may see costs in the $15,000–$20,000 range or higher. Ultimately, pricing comes down to one thing: the time required for a skilled engineer to do the job right.
