Physical Security

Physical Security Assessments

Security evaluations are designed to test physical access controls and facility resilience.

Overview

What you get with Physical Security Assessments.

Physical security failures undermine every digital control you've invested in. A planted device, an unattended workstation, or a tailgated entry can defeat a perfectly tuned SOC. Our physical assessments measure what a determined adversary could actually achieve at your facilities.

Engagements combine open-source reconnaissance, social pretexting, badge and lock attacks, and post-entry objectives — exfiltrating data from an unattended terminal, planting a covert implant, or reaching a sensitive area like a server room. Every action is documented with photos and timestamps.

Results are delivered to security and facilities leadership with vendor-specific remediation: which badge readers to upgrade, which doors to harden, which procedures to retrain.

  • Badge bypass testing
  • Facility intrusion simulations
  • Tailgating assessments
  • Physical access control review

Methodology

How we run the engagement.

01

Reconnaissance

OSINT and on-site Cyber Crime Investigations to identify entry points, schedules, and procedural weaknesses.

02

Entry Attempts

Tailgating, badge cloning, lock bypass, and social pretexts — all under written authorization.

03

Post-Entry Objectives

Once inside, we attempt the agreed objective: data exfil, implant placement, or restricted-area access.

04

Photo-Documented Report

Every step is photographed and timestamped, with remediation guidance for facilities and security.

Outcomes

Measurable impact, not vanity metrics.

  • Validated physical access controls under real adversary pressure
  • Identified procedural and training gaps
  • Hardened badge, lock, and Cyber Crime Investigations infrastructure
  • Improved coordination between physical and IT security teams
Deliverables

What lands in your inbox.

  • Photo-documented engagement report
  • Facility-by-facility risk ranking
  • Vendor-specific remediation recommendations
  • Staff awareness briefing materials
Frequently Asked Questions

The questions clients ask most.

Who knows about the engagement?

Typically only a small leadership group — usually 2-3 executives — to keep the test realistic. Security and facilities teams are debriefed immediately after.

What if we're caught?

Every operator carries a signed authorization letter ('get-out-of-jail card') identifying the engagement, the scope, and an emergency contact. We test, we don't get arrested.
