Offensive Security
Physical Security.
More than jumping fences and hacking access control systems. The #1 added component to penetration tests in 2025.
The #1 added component in 2025
Most CISOs call it their weakest point.
A physical assessment complements technical testing by simulating real-world scenarios where an attacker combines social engineering and physical intrusion. The insights let you address weaknesses, sharpen employee training, and put practical measures in place like better locks, access badges, and surveillance.
Put physical and cyber together and you get the full picture of your risk, and defenses that hold up against both.
Why now
Three reasons to test it in 2026.
01
Physical Meets Cyber
Modern attackers combine physical and digital techniques. Someone reaches a server room, plugs in a rogue device, or lifts credentials. Testing these scenarios exposes gaps that can render even strong cyber defenses useless.
02
Insider Threats
We evaluate the policies and practices that mitigate insider risk: tailgating, badge sharing, unauthorized devices. Critical wherever employees, contractors, or visitors could expose you, knowingly or not.
03
Compliance & Best Practice
Many frameworks mandate physical controls like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and CMMC. An assessment proves compliance and aligns you with industry best practices.
From our CEO
Having conducted dozens of physical security assessments across countries on four continents, I'm convinced of one thing: if you're doing physical security right, you're probably doing the rest of it right too.

Pentest Reports with Eric Buck
If your pen test report looks like tool output with a cover letter, you didn't really get a pen test.

Mentoring Junior Pen Testers with Senior Operators
The best pen testers we've worked with didn't learn the craft from a course. They learned it from someone who'd already been there.
