Physical Penetration Testing
We test whether an unauthorized person can access your building, server room or network points. We show how a weakness in physical controls can affect your cybersecurity.
What it is
A physical penetration test measures how controls such as badge access, visitor reception and security staff perform against a real attempt. The test is conducted under a written letter of authorization and predefined limits. The focus is on accessing network points, devices and documents inside rather than just entering the building. This demonstrates how a physical weakness could lead to a cyberattack.
Scope
- Main entrances, badge readers, secondary entrances such as parking and loading areas
- Visitor registration, escort and temporary badge procedures
- Network points in meeting rooms and common areas
- Server room, network cabinets and shared devices such as printers
- Documents left on desks and unlocked screens
The need
When organizations need it
- When you move into a new headquarters, branch or data center.
- When an ISO/IEC 27001 audit requires you to demonstrate that physical security controls work in practice.
- When you operate multiple sites with limited security staff, such as branches, warehouses or plants.
Method
How we work
-
Authorization and limits
We specify in a written letter of authorization which site, hours and areas are in scope.
-
Preliminary review
We assess the site's entry points and visitor procedures with the information you provide.
-
Execution
We execute the approved scenarios and document each area and network point reached with photographs.
-
Review
We review the findings with your security, facilities and IT teams.
Outcome
What you have at the end
You see, with evidence, which entry points and procedures allowed unauthorized access. You receive prioritized recommendations to strengthen physical and technical controls together.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if security staff stop the attempt?
The team presents the letter of authorization and contacts the designated person. The incident is recorded as evidence that the control worked.
Are doors or devices damaged?
No. The test does not force any lock, door or device in a way that could cause damage.
How does it work in a shared building?
Building management approval is obtained in advance. Other tenants' premises and out-of-scope areas are not entered.
