Why Your Business Needs This Test

Many businesses worry about online hackers but forget about real-world intruders. A break-in at your office can cause just as much harm as a computer hack. A physical security assessment is vital for any company.

Here’s why it’s so important:

• To Protect Your Data: If someone gets inside your office, they can steal laptops, access servers, or plug in a USB drive to steal files. A real-world break-in often leads to a major data leak.
• To Keep Assets Safe: Expensive equipment, new products, and important files are all at risk if someone can easily get inside.
• To Check on Employee Habits: Your staff is your first defense, but people can make mistakes. Do they let strangers follow them through locked doors? This test checks how well your team follows security rules.
• To Meet Legal Rules: Some industries require companies to prove their security is strong, both online and in the real world. A report from a penetration test can help you do this.
• To Protect Your Reputation: A security breach can damage your brand and lose your customers’ trust. A test shows you are serious about protecting your business.

This service is a key part of our larger due diligence and corporate investigations.

What Are the Biggest Physical Security Risks?

We look for security holes that your team might not see. Our job is to find these weak spots so you can fix them.

Common risks we look for:

• Easy Entry: Are doors often left open? Can someone bypass your keycard system?
• Human Error: The biggest risk is often your staff being too trusting. This is called social engineering. An intruder can often just trick an employee into letting them inside.
• Old Security Gear: Are your cameras blurry? Is your alarm system easy to beat?
• No Visitor Policy: Do you have a strict sign-in rule for guests? Or can anyone just walk in and look around?
• Unlocked Rooms: Are important areas like server rooms or executive offices left unlocked?

Finding these risks gives you a clear plan to make your business safer.

How We Test Your Office Security

To test your office security, our experts think and act like real criminals. Don’t worry, every step is planned with you and is completely safe.

Common methods we use:

• Posing as Someone Else (Social Engineering): This is the easiest way in. Our agent might dress up as a new hire, an IT repair person, or a food delivery driver. They use a believable story to gain trust and get inside.
• Following an Employee In (Tailgating): This is as simple as walking in right behind an employee as they open a locked door. Most people are too polite to say anything.
• Copying Access Cards: We can test how easy it is to copy or clone an employee’s keycard.
• Checking the Building: Our team will look for weak spots like unlocked windows, back doors, or poorly lit areas.
• Checking the Trash (“Dumpster Diving”): Sometimes, company trash can contain useful information like employee names or schedules that can help an intruder.

Our work here is similar to our other undercover corporate investigations, where the goal is to get information without being noticed.

Our Process: A Clear Step-by-Step Guide

Our physical penetration tests are carefully planned from start to finish.

1. Free Talk and Planning: We meet with you to set the goals for the test. We agree on which areas to target and what methods we can use.
2. Research: Our team learns about your company from the outside. We look for information online and study your building’s layout to plan the best way to get in.
3. The Test: Our agents will try to get into your building using the methods we agreed on. We see how far we can get. Can we reach the CEO’s office? Can we use an empty computer?
4. A Detailed Report: After the test, we give you a full report. It will show what we did and what security holes we found, with pictures and a clear timeline.
5. Clear Fixes: The report will also give you a simple, practical list of things you can do to fix the problems. This might include better training for your staff or new security policies.
