Physical Security Assessments
Software can't protect a propped-open door or a cloned badge. We assess the spaces, access controls, and human habits that attackers exploit in person — then show you exactly where someone could walk in, and how to stop them.
What we assess
The attack surface you can walk through.
Physical security failures are often the fastest path to a full breach. A tailgated entry, a cloned access badge, or a social engineering pretext can bypass every technical control you've invested in. We test the physical layer with the same rigor we bring to the network.
- Perimeter and entry controls — doors, gates, reception, and tailgating resistance
- Access control systems — badge readers, key management, and bypass techniques
- CCTV and alarm coverage — blind spots, response times, and detection gaps
- Sensitive area access — server rooms, data centers, executive spaces, and restricted zones
- Social engineering — pretexting, impersonation, and human-layer manipulation
- Device security — unlocked workstations, exposed USB ports, and physical data exposure
How we do it
We test it the way an attacker would.
Physical assessments require a different kind of discipline. We build realistic pretexts, operate within agreed rules of engagement, and document every step — so you get a clear picture of what happened and why it worked.
01
Reconnaissance
Open-source intelligence gathering on your facilities, staff, vendors, and physical footprint before any on-site activity begins.
02
Pretext development
Realistic cover scenarios built around your industry and environment — contractor, vendor, delivery, or other plausible access vectors.
03
On-site testing
Attempted physical access, badge cloning, tailgating, and social engineering — all within the agreed scope and rules of engagement.
04
Documentation
Every attempt, success, and failure documented with timestamps, photos (where authorized), and detailed narrative for the report.
What you get
A clear picture of your physical exposure.
Physical security findings are often more visceral than network findings — a photo of an unlocked server room door lands differently than a CVE number. We document everything clearly, with the evidence to back it up.
Narrative walkthrough
A step-by-step account of what we did, what worked, and what stopped us — written so your security team and leadership both understand the exposure.
Findings with evidence
Each vulnerability documented with supporting evidence — photos, access logs, badge data — and a specific remediation recommendation.
Prioritized remediation
Findings ranked by ease of exploitation and potential impact. Quick wins and structural fixes clearly separated.
Policy recommendations
Where the gap is procedural or cultural — not just physical — we say so, and recommend the policy or training change that closes it.

Physical security gaps are often the easiest to exploit and the last to get tested. A conversation costs nothing — and might change what you prioritize.
