PHYSICAL PENETRATION TESTING

Physical security tested in multiple ways.

At We Fight Fraud (WFF), we specialise in physical security testing to identify vulnerabilities in your business. Our approach is fully customisable, allowing you to choose the tests that best suit your needs.

Our team examines critical areas such as entry and exit points, where criminals often exploit weaknesses. We have successfully gained access to businesses simply by asking to use the lavatory, highlighting real threats that exist every day. The perimeter test assesses the structural and access control vulnerabilities that could be targeted by intruders. Shoulder surfing and tailgating expose how easily unauthorised individuals can bypass security measures and gain access to internal systems.

We also evaluate access control panels, ensuring they are not easily bypassed, and CCTV systems, identifying blind spots and weaknesses in surveillance coverage. A thorough assessment of locks, alarms, bolts, and bars determines whether they can be picked, disabled, or even hacked by criminals.

Additional techniques include dumpster diving, where we check for discarded sensitive information, and social engineering, one of the most common attack methods used by criminals to exploit stolen data. Our in-depth reconnaissance approach studies security procedures and staff behaviour over time, uncovering hidden vulnerabilities. We also conduct SMS phishing (SMShing) tests to assess how employees respond to fraudulent messages.

Other specialised techniques, such as impersonation, elicitation, lock picking, and RFID cloning, are available upon request to provide a comprehensive security assessment. Contact We Fight Fraud to design the best security test for your business.

At We Fight Fraud (WFF), we provide tailored physical security tests to help businesses identify weaknesses and improve their defences. Our process is designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing you to select the tests that best fit your specific security concerns.

Step 1: Consultation & Customisation

We begin by understanding your business and the security challenges you face. Our team will work with you to create a bespoke testing plan, selecting the most relevant assessments from our range of security tests.

Step 2: Conducting the Tests

Once the plan is in place, our experts carry out real-world security tests to assess potential vulnerabilities. These can include:

Front Desk Testing – Evaluating how easily an intruder could gain access through reception or entry points.

Perimeter Testing – Checking for weaknesses in the building’s structure and access controls.

Shoulder Surfing & Tailgating – Identifying the risks of unauthorised individuals gaining entry by exploiting employees’ habits.

Access Control Panel Testing – Determining if security systems can be bypassed.

CCTV Evaluation – Ensuring camera placement and coverage are optimised, including a network security review.

Locks, Alarms, Bolts & Bars Assessment – Testing whether physical security measures can be compromised.

Step 3: Advanced Security Techniques

To provide a deeper level of insight, we may also use additional methods such as:

Dumpster Diving – Examining discarded materials for sensitive information.

Social Engineering – Testing employee susceptibility to deception and fraud tactics.

In-Depth Reconnaissance – Analysing security procedures, staff behaviour, and operational weaknesses over time.

SMShing (SMS Phishing) – Simulating fraudulent text messages to test staff responses.

Impersonation & Mystery Worker Tests – Assessing how easily someone could infiltrate your organisation by posing as an employee or contractor.

Elicitation, Lock Picking & RFID Cloning – Identifying how criminals might exploit physical security gaps.

Step 4: Reporting & Recommendations

Following the tests, we provide a comprehensive security report, outlining our findings and offering clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen your defences.
