Penetration Testing Services & Red Team Operations
Beyond simply meeting the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX 404), forward-thinking companies use compliance as an opportunity to increase market value and build stakeholder confidence. By continually evaluating and improving processes, controls, and technology, organizations can streamline operations and make better business decisions.
FoxPointe has extensive SOX 404 compliance experience, helping clients launch their first-year compliance programs and managing established SOX programs for mature public companies.
What is a Penetration Test (Pen Test)?
Penetration testing is known by many different names: ethical hacking, white-hat hacking, and pen testing. It is a type of security assessment that evaluates a computer system, network, or software application to identify vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. This assessment measures an information system’s security by simulating an attack from a malicious source.
Businesses authorize internal and/or external penetration tests to determine cybersecurity weaknesses and identify methods to strengthen their systems.

Our red team experts simulate real-world cyberattacks to test and strengthen your organization’s defenses. Every engagement is tailored to your specific needs and security goals.
External Pen Test:
Simulates an outside attacker attempting to breach your systems.
Internal Pen Test:
Mimics an attacker with internal access to evaluate internal defenses and potential attack paths.
Social Engineering:
Our experts observe and assess how your team identifies, escalates, and responds to the simulated ransomware attack by reviewing your Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan (CSIRP) in real time.
Grey Box Test:
At an agreed-upon date, we conduct a recovery retest to ensure improvements have been made and vulnerabilities have been addressed.
Black Box Test:
No system information is shared—this fully simulates an external attacker.
White Box Test:
Full access is given to simulate a targeted attack on specific systems.
