Physical Penetration Testing
On-site testing of physical controls, access, and the path from lobby to server room.
Physical penetration testing assesses your on-site controls — from lobby to server room — testing access control, tailgating, and badge and lock weaknesses to show the real-world path an intruder could take.
Where attackers get in — and where we look.
Access-control bypass
Tailgating & pretexting
Badge & lock testing
Sensitive-area access
Device drop & pivot
An evidence-driven methodology.
Authorization & rules
We agree the sites, hours, permitted techniques and a trusted contact; testers carry a signed authorization letter.
Reconnaissance
We observe entry points, access-control types and staff routines within the agreed boundaries.
Attempt entry
Testers attempt entry using the agreed techniques, stopping if safety or the rules of engagement require it.
Document the path
Each step is recorded with photographs or notes, showing how far access reached.
Report & recommendations
Findings with remediation guidance for controls, procedures and training.
Evidence you can act on.
Findings and supporting evidence
QA-reviewed findings with evidence and reproduction steps.
Risk-ranked reporting
CVSS + business context, prioritized for your team.
Remediation guidance
Actionable fixes mapped to each finding.
Retests under agreed terms
Retests are requested and tracked in the platform.
Physical Penetration Testing — questions buyers ask.
What does physical testing involve?
Attempting authorized on-site entry via access-control bypass, tailgating, pretexting, and badge or lock weaknesses, then pivoting to sensitive areas or a network drop.
Is it legal and safe?
Yes — testers carry an authorization letter, operate within agreed rules of engagement, and coordinate with a trusted point of contact.
Can you combine it with a red team?
Yes — physical access is often a powerful component of a full red team engagement.
Prove what an attacker could actually do.
A short scoping call, no obligation.
