Physical penetration testing is a comprehensive security assessment methodology that goes beyond traditional security audits. Unlike standard security checks, physical penetration testing involves simulating real-world attack scenarios to systematically evaluate an organization's physical security infrastructure, identifying potential weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors.

Physical penetration testing is a comprehensive security assessment that simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in an organization's physical security infrastructure. Our experts use techniques like social engineering, unauthorized access attempts, and covert entry methods to expose potential security weaknesses before actual criminals can exploit them.
While cybersecurity testing focuses on digital vulnerabilities, physical penetration testing examines real-world, physical security risks. This includes testing access controls, security personnel responses, badge systems, locks, surveillance, and identifying potential points of unauthorized physical entry into a facility.
Any organization with critical infrastructure, sensitive assets, or potential security risks can benefit. This includes manufacturing plants, data centers, government facilities, healthcare institutions, financial services, and any business with valuable physical assets that need protection.
Our physical penetration testing process typically includes comprehensive intelligence gathering, simulated unauthorized access attempts, social engineering scenarios, testing of security personnel responses, detailed vulnerability assessment, and customized remediation recommendations.
The duration varies depending on the complexity of your facility and security infrastructure. Typically, a comprehensive physical penetration test can take anywhere from 1-5 days, with a detailed report provided shortly after the assessment.
No. Our team conducts tests discreetly and with minimal disruption. We work closely with your team to schedule assessments at the most convenient times and ensure zero interference with daily operations.
Physical penetration tests can reveal critical vulnerabilities such as weaknesses in access control systems, ineffective security personnel training, potential social engineering entry points, flaws in badge and identification systems, vulnerabilities in physical barriers and locks, and gaps in surveillance and monitoring systems.
We recommend conducting physical penetration tests annually or whenever significant changes occur in your facility's infrastructure, security systems, or operational procedures. Regular testing ensures continuous improvement of your physical security measures.
