Physical Penetration Testing

A physical penetration test that will actively assess the capability of security personnel and, wherever possible, the performance and integration of their equipment and physical security systems, which these individuals operate and monitor. The word ‘actively’ is emphasised instead of theoretically assessing the vulnerabilities or conducting a paper-based audit.

A physical penetration test will actively assess and evaluate the vulnerabilities of a security system, application or process and then exploit those vulnerabilities.

Carried out by lone workers or organised teams simulating the current and perceived threat, our physical penetration tests may prove a vulnerability, and if permitted, exploit the vulnerability.

Reporting and Mitigation

Olchon’s Penetration Test Report will identify and document vulnerabilities, assessing each of them for the Probability of Successful Exploitation (PSE). It will then highlight the mechanisms to mitigate (physical, procedural and/or technical) and advise the client on the increased security measures required, proportionate to the identified PSE rating.
