Physical access to your premises can bypass every digital control you have. HackLabs conducts on-site physical security assessments that test your real-world defences against tailgating, lock bypass, and insider threats.
Talk to an ExpertPhysical security is often the weakest link in an organisation's defences. An attacker who gains physical access can plug in a rogue device, access unattended workstations, steal equipment, or simply walk out with sensitive documents. HackLabs conducts realistic physical security assessments that test access controls, staff awareness, CCTV effectiveness, and the security of sensitive areas — providing evidence-based findings your security team can act on.
All physical assessments are conducted under signed authorisation with clear rules of engagement. Staff are not informed in advance — unless the scenario requires it.
Tailgating, lock picking, badge cloning, under-door tools, and social pretexting — we use the techniques documented in real breach case studies.
All findings are documented with photographic evidence, timestamped logs, and step-by-step methodology — providing clear proof for executive and board reporting.
Lock picking, RFID badge cloning, PIN pad bypass, and door mechanism abuse testing across all entry points.
Testing whether security staff, access-controlled doors, and turnstiles prevent tailgating — the most common physical intrusion technique.
Attempting to access server rooms, data centres, executive areas, and other restricted zones using social engineering and physical bypass.
Implanting USB drop devices, LAN taps, or Wi-Fi pineapples in accessible areas to test physical security monitoring and response.
Impersonating contractors, IT staff, couriers, or maintenance workers to test staff compliance with access control policies.
Out-of-hours assessments testing whether controls remain effective when security presence is reduced — a critical gap in many organisations.
We define the engagement boundaries, objectives, and rules of engagement. Clear scope means focused testing and accurate results.
Senior consultants conduct both automated and manual testing, replicating real-world attack techniques against your environment.
Detailed technical findings with risk ratings, proof-of-concept evidence, and clear remediation guidance for both technical and executive audiences.
We stay engaged beyond the report. Our team answers remediation questions and offers a complimentary re-test on critical findings.
CREST-certified testers across all disciplines. Independently audited methodology you can trust.
Extensive track record across enterprise, government, and critical infrastructure sectors.
