Physical Penetration Testing
Simulate a physical breach to test access controls, guard response, and facility defenses.
Book AssessmentValidating the Resilience of Your Physical Parameter
Cybersecurity is rendered useless if a threat actor can physically walk into your data center and plug a malicious device directly into your servers. Atgardas Physical Penetration Testing evaluates the effectiveness of your badge systems, tailgating policies, alarm setups, and security personnel.
Our operators simulate focused adversaries aiming to bypass locks, clone RFID badges, spoof credentials, and manipulate physical infrastructure. We deploy covert hardware implants to establish remote internal network access, bridging the physical-to-digital gap.
We provide extensive photo and video documentation of all compromised areas, detailing exactly how the perimeter was breached and delivering actionable upgrades for your physical security posture.
Key Benefits & Deliverables
Access Control Bypass
Validation against RFID badge cloning, turnstile jumping, and tailgating past distracted employees.
Guard Response Evaluation
Testing how long it takes for onsite security to detect, confront, and successfully apprehend unauthorized personnel.
Network Implant Deployment
Demonstrating physical risk by leaving hidden drop-boxes (e.g., Raspberry Pis) that beacon out to our command servers.
Engagement Process
Passive Reconnaissance
Observing shift changes, guard deployment patterns, delivery schedules, and employee entrance habits.
Active Probing
Covertly cloning employee RFID badges from a distance while identifying blind spots in camera coverage.
Facility Infiltration
Breaching the perimeter using social engineering, custom lockpicking tools, and tailgating.
Objective Execution
Locating server rooms, planting rogue network devices, and exfiltrating sensitive physical documents.
