Physical Penetration Testing
Physical penetration tests assess the effectiveness of a company’s physical security measures. Our engineers strive to gain access to critical areas like data centers, server rooms, and network closets using every possible method. Their toolkit encompasses techniques such as drone surveillance, lock picking, social engineering, bypassing sensors, and cloning RFID badges or access cards, among other strategies.




Our Approach
All testing performed is based on the NIST SP 800-115 Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment, OWASP Testing Guide (v4), and customized testing frameworks.
Planning
Rules of engagement are obtained and customer goals are collected.
Discovery
To find potential weaknesses, exploits, and vulnerabilities, we do enumeration and scanning.
Attack
Verify possible weaknesses by exploiting them, and carry out more research after gaining new access.
Reporting
Document all discovered exploits and vulnerabilities, unsuccessful attempts, and the company's advantages and disadvantages.
Thorough Testing
Activities performed during physical penetration testing include, but are not limited to:
- Reconnaissance and information gathering
- Sensor bypassing
- Lock picking
- Social engineering
- Impersonation
- Badge cloning
- Piggy backing
- Service, port, and website enumeration
- Other testing depending on customer specifics and footprint
