# Raxis > Manual penetration testing by senior U.S. engineers since 2011. Raxis Strike is the point-in-time penetration test; Raxis Attack is continuous penetration testing as a service (PTaaS). Every test is human-led: a senior engineer does the testing and writes every finding, and AI is a tool the engineer drives. Raxis is a penetration testing and red team firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 2011. Its engineers are senior, U.S.-based, hold certifications such as the OSCP, OSCE, OSWE, OSEP, CISSP and GPEN, and have published CVEs in enterprise software. Findings are delivered through the Raxis One platform with proof-of-concept evidence, and retesting is included. Raxis holds a SOC 2 Type II examination.
