Internal network penetration testing

Strengthen security from the inside out

Rhymetec’s Internal Network Penetration Testing takes a post-breach perspective—simulating the conditions of an insider threat or compromised device. Our experts evaluate how effectively your internal systems prevent privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exposure. The result: actionable insights that help your teams reinforce internal controls, maintain business continuity, and build lasting confidence in your network’s resilience.

See beyond the perimeter

We test your internal infrastructure to expose weaknesses that external testing can’t reach.

Rhymetec’s testers analyze how effectively your network architecture and controls contain a compromise within your internal environment.
Typical findings include excessive permissions, weak authentication policies, unpatched systems, and insecure file shares. Our methodical approach focuses on strengthening your foundation, not reacting to fear.

What is Internal Network Penetration Testing?

Internal network penetration testing simulates an attacker or insider with internal access to your corporate network to identify risks related to privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exposure.

Why is internal testing important if external testing is performed?

External testing validates your perimeter, but internal testing evaluates how well your internal environment resists movement once access is gained—both perspectives are essential for a complete security posture.

Security with benefits

What our clients are saying about us

Rhymetec helped us to become ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant in 1/3 the time we were expecting. As an early stage B2B startup, this allowed us to go afer enterprise customers months ahead of schedule and got us to become more competitive vs the established players.

Agentnoon

CTO & Cofounder

We went from zero to ISO 27001 and SOC 2, Type 2, in a much shorter time than anyone else was telling us. Rhymetec worked with me to get our organization the security certifications it needed and I will always be grateful for their professionalism and support because their help solved a very real business problem for us.

Tenjin

VP

Working with Rhymetec’s team is great. We use their vCISO program and work closely with a Cloud Compliance Analyst. The Rhymetec team is knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. It is like having an additional team member to handle security and technical issues.

ThinkIQ, Inc.

Director of Operations

Rhymetec did an amazing job and we sailed through our ISO 27001 audit and SOC2 audit. Our vCISO has been great to work with.

ContractSafe

President

We engaged with Rhymetec to complete our first ISO 27001 internal audit. They executed a very efficient engagement and helped us through the process. They produced quality deliverables within the timelines promised.

mTuitive Inc.

CISO

For any companies going through the SOC 2 compliance process, Rhymetec should be a required resource. They combine expert knowledge with a low-effort service model that doesn’t tie up our team’s capacity. I’d recommend Rhymetec to anyone.

Cartful

CEO

Rhymetec has been an absolute lifesaver. Not only is our vCISO super knowledgeable about all things SOC2, but was an absolute delight to work with. There is no way we would have reached this point without our vCISO and Rhymetec’s help.

D3Clarity, Inc.

Operations Associate

The testing was very thorough and complete. Communication and feedback afterwards was easy to understand and very fast. We were able to quickly identify and fix all the issues that were brought up and the team was able to verify the fixes without issue.

Graphium Health

Senior Application Architect

I appreciated how easy it was to schedule the internal audit, and how my Rhymetec compliance analyst helped me understand what I needed to do to prepare for both their internal audit and also our subsequent external audits.

Duolingo

Senior Security Risk Program Manager

Rhymetec was very professional and helpful. They made it easy to schedule the ISO Internal Audit, the response was clear and helpful. I’ll definitely be working with them again in the future.

PlaybookUX

CEO

The team at Rhymetec was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. They were able to accommodate our extended Penetration Testing schedule for remediation and retesting. And the ability to communicate directly with the testers via Slack was a time saver and enormously helpful.
