About

Rapid7 is a major publicly traded cybersecurity company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, offering a comprehensive suite of security solutions including penetration testing services. Founded in 2000, Rapid7 is best known as the creators and maintainers of Metasploit, the world's most widely used penetration testing framework, which gives them unparalleled expertise in vulnerability exploitation and offensive security tooling.

Their penetration testing services leverage this deep product knowledge alongside experienced consultants who conduct thorough assessments of networks, web applications, cloud environments, and mobile applications. Rapid7's approach integrates their proprietary InsightVM vulnerability management platform and InsightConnect SOAR capabilities with manual penetration testing, providing clients with a holistic view of their security posture.

The company serves organizations of all sizes, from mid-market businesses to large enterprises and government agencies. Rapid7's penetration testing team follows industry-standard methodologies including OWASP, PTES, and NIST guidelines, and their reports are known for being actionable and business-context-aware. With over 11,000 customers worldwide, Rapid7 brings the stability and resources of a large security vendor combined with the technical depth born from maintaining Metasploit and Project Sonar.
