Physical Security Testing

Physical Security Testing.

On-site intrusion testing — badge cloning, tailgating, lock bypass, physical access control assessment and dumpster diving — conducted by our red team to test whether your physical security controls would stop a determined attacker who has done their reconnaissance. Every physical test is fully authorised and documented in writing before a single operative enters your premises.

  • Tailgating, badge cloning, lock bypass and physical access control assessment.
  • Dumpster diving and OSINT from physical materials — printed documents, whiteboards, screens.
  • Combined with cyber access — testing whether physical access leads to network compromise.
  • All activity fully authorised, documented and attributable before commencement.

What You Will Get

A full physical intrusion report documenting every access point tested, every control that failed, every piece of sensitive information observed or retrieved, and the complete access path from car park to server room. Every finding includes photographic evidence and remediation recommendation.

Tailgating & Piggybacking

Testing whether staff hold doors open for unknown individuals and whether reception and security staff challenge unescorted visitors in secure areas.

Badge Cloning

RFID and NFC badge cloning at close proximity -- testing whether your access control cards can be cloned and replayed to gain unauthorised access.

Lock Bypass

Lock picking, shimming and bump key testing of physical locks on server rooms, network closets, secure areas and reception barriers.

Dumpster Diving

Review of discarded materials in bins and recycling -- printed documents, storage media, handwritten notes and device disposal for sensitive information exposure.

Visual Eavesdropping

Shoulder surfing, visible screen content, whiteboard photography, clear desk policy compliance and sensitive information visible to visitors.

Combined Cyber Access

If physical access is achieved, testing proceeds to network access -- plugging into exposed network ports, accessing unlocked workstations and planting persistence devices.

How Physical Security Testing Works

  • OSINT & Planning

    Reconnaissance using open-source intelligence -- building layout, access point mapping, staff patterns and security posture assessment before any on-site activity.

  • On-Site Assessment

    Red team operatives attempt physical access using agreed techniques. Every attempt documented with timestamp, location and evidence. Operations team notified at conclusion.

  • Full Intrusion Report

    Photographic evidence, entry timeline, access points that failed and succeeded, information observed, and complete kill chain if network access was achieved.

  • Remediation Support

    Physical security control improvement recommendations for every weakness found. Supplier and product recommendations for access control, CCTV and shredding.

Why Physical Security Testing Is Often Overlooked -- and Critical

Your cyber defences mean nothing if an attacker can walk into your server room. Physical security testing finds the gaps in your physical controls, access management and staff security awareness before a real attacker does. Our testers attempt to access restricted areas, plant rogue devices, and bypass access controls using real-world techniques.


Real Attacker Techniques

Lock picking, tailgating, badge cloning, dumpster diving and social engineering -- the same techniques a real adversary would use.

Rogue Device Planting

We attempt to plant network tap devices, keyloggers and rogue access points to demonstrate the impact of physical access.

Staff Security Awareness

We test whether your staff challenge unfamiliar visitors, question suspicious behaviour and follow tailgating prevention procedures.

Scope-Controlled

All physical testing conducted under a signed Rules of Engagement. Emergency stop procedures and escalation contacts agreed in advance.

Detailed Evidence Report

Photograph and video evidence of every access gain. Operationally risk-rated findings with specific remediation for each physical control failure.

Regulator Accepted

Reports accepted by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and all major Indian regulatory bodies. Structured for regulatory submission.


The Cost of Weak Physical Security

A USB device dropped in your car park and plugged in by a curious employee can give an attacker complete network access within minutes. Physical security breaches bypass every cyber control you have invested in. Most organisations have never tested their physical defences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is physical security testing legal?

Yes — when conducted with proper written authorisation. Before any on-site activity we execute a Rules of Engagement document signed by an authorised representative of your organisation. The ROE defines the exact scope, dates, operatives involved and procedures if a tester is detained. Our testers carry authorisation letters at all times.

What happens if your tester is caught?

Our testers carry authorisation letters that security staff can verify by calling a designated contact at your organisation. Being caught is not a failure — it is a data point showing that your physical security detected an intrusion attempt. The attempt, the detection method and the response are all documented in the report.

Are your reports accepted by RBI, SEBI and IRDAI?

Yes. Our audit reports are structured to meet the specific submission requirements of the relevant regulatory framework your organisation operates under — including the Reserve Bank of India, SEBI, IRDAI, and all other major Indian regulators. We have a 100 percent acceptance record across all regulatory submissions.

Can you test multiple sites?

Yes. Multi-site physical security assessments are conducted sequentially or simultaneously depending on your requirements. Each site receives a separate report as well as a consolidated multi-site comparison showing which sites have the strongest and weakest physical security posture.

What evidence do you provide of physical access attempts?

Every physical intrusion attempt is documented with timestamps, location details, photographs and — where agreed — video evidence. The report shows exactly which access points succeeded, which failed, what information was observed or retrieved, and whether network access was achieved. All evidence is handled according to your agreed Rules of Engagement.

What happens after we implement your recommendations?

We offer a follow-up assessment after you have implemented the physical security improvements. This verifies that the specific access points and staff behaviours identified in the original engagement have been addressed. Most clients conduct annual physical security assessments as part of their ongoing security programme.
