Physical & Facility Security Testing

Physical & Facility Security Testing

Cybersecurity doesn’t stop at the digital perimeter — physical access can be the easiest way for attackers to compromise systems, steal sensitive information, or disrupt operations. Obventum’s Physical & Facility Security Testing evaluates your facilities, processes, and staff readiness, identifying gaps that could be exploited to gain unauthorized access.

Scope of Physical Security Assessments

• Access Control Testing – Examine locks, badge systems, biometric access points, and visitor management procedures to identify weaknesses that could allow unauthorized entry.
• Perimeter Security Analysis – Assess fences, gates, surveillance cameras, lighting, and patrol protocols to detect areas vulnerable to intrusion.
• Tailgating & Social Engineering Simulations – Test employee awareness and adherence to access policies by simulating scenarios where an attacker attempts to bypass security controls.
• Asset Protection Evaluation – Analyze how physical assets such as servers, network equipment, sensitive documents, and IoT/OT devices are secured against theft, tampering, or sabotage.
• Emergency Response & Contingency Checks – Evaluate readiness for incidents such as break-ins, fires, or other emergencies to ensure staff can respond effectively.

Testing Approach
Our assessments are fully manual, scenario-driven, and highly tailored to your facility and security policies. By simulating realistic attack vectors, Obventum identifies both obvious and hidden weaknesses, revealing how an attacker could bypass security measures, compromise data, or disrupt operations.

Methodologies & Frameworks
We follow industry-recognized approaches to ensure thorough, actionable results:

• Physical Penetration Testing Principles (PTES Physical Security) – Simulated intrusions that mirror real-world attacker behavior.
• OSSTMM Physical Security Guidelines – Structured methodology for evaluating risk across facilities and processes.
• Customized Threat Modeling – Aligning scenarios with your organizational risks, including critical areas, high-value assets, and human factors.

Deliverables & Reporting
After assessment, clients receive a detailed report covering:

• Executive summary of key vulnerabilities.
• Step-by-step evidence and proof-of-concept of physical security gaps.
• Risk prioritization and potential impact.
• Actionable recommendations to strengthen access controls, staff procedures, and facility defenses.

Value of Physical Security Testing with Obventum

• Prevent unauthorized access to buildings and critical assets.
• Strengthen staff awareness against social engineering and tailgating.
• Enhance resilience of facilities against intrusion, theft, or sabotage.
• Gain actionable guidance to align physical and cybersecurity defenses.

By combining offensive security expertise with physical penetration testing, Obventum ensures your organization’s defenses extend beyond digital systems. We uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do, safeguarding personnel, critical assets, and operational continuity.
