    Physical Security

    What is Physical Security Testing?

    Physical security testing shows whether your building security works in practice, not on paper. Testers attempt unauthorized entry through tailgating, badge cloning and social engineering of reception staff.

    We assess access control, camera coverage and human factors to show where someone could still get in.

    What is the testing scope?

    Physical access control bypass
    Badge cloning and tailgating
    Lock picking and bypass techniques
    CCTV and surveillance gaps
    Social engineering entry attempts
    Secure area penetration testing

    How do we approach physical testing?

    Access Testing

    We test whether access controls can be bypassed, both technically and through human behaviour. This reveals weaknesses in procedures, controls, and awareness.

    Surveillance Review

    We assess camera systems, monitoring, and related procedures to identify blind spots, false assumptions, and organisational gaps that could be exploited.

    Entry Simulation

    Controlled and pre-approved attempts to gain unauthorised access to sensitive areas. We demonstrate that access was possible. We do not extract sensitive data. Focused on realistic scenarios and actionable insights without operational disruption.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    No. Tests are planned and executed under clear rules of engagement with safety measures. We avoid business-critical disruption and stop immediately if unexpected impact occurs.

    Only key stakeholders and a designated contact are informed in advance. This keeps results realistic while staying controlled and safe.

    We agree the scope, locations, allowed techniques, time windows, and emergency contacts. We also align on privacy, safety, and reporting requirements.

    You receive a report with validated findings, evidence, and practical fixes. We can also do a retest to confirm improvements.
