Physical Penetration Testing

Physical Penetration Testing

What is Titan’s Investigations Physical Penetration Testing Service used for?

Physical Penetration Testing is a method to test the current security processes and protocols that your company employs and to test the compliance of your staff. It’s an excellent opportunity to test whether your business or organisation is safe or easily accessible to potential threats and vulnerabilities from both outside and inside.

Titan Private Investigation’s penetration testing operatives are all former government operators with backgrounds as Counterterrorism Security Advisors (CTSA’s) and Crime Prevention Officers (CPO’s) and fully insured to conduct this vital service. We will not only test your current security protocols by attempting to gain entry into your premises, but we will deliver a comprehensive report outlining recommendations for implementation.

How Do We Conduct A Physical Penetration Test?

Titan Private Investigations Penetration Test Methodology

1. Passive Reconnaissance

This is the initial phase of any penetration by using tools such as Google Earth to learn about the environment and surroundings of the target premise.

2. Open Source Intelligence

This is the intelligence gathering stage, collecting data through social media, notice boards and registers.

3. Active Reconnaissance

This phase is aimed at gathering further intelligence which isn’t available online. It may include sending emails, making telephone enquiries and directly approaching staff.

4. Covert Observation

Observations are key, it identifies discrepancies in the environment gathered at the passive reconnaissance phase, identifies current security barriers such as CCTV, barriers, ID cards and entry methods.

5. Post Exploitation

Once the attack has been made a full debrief is, conducted and a comprehensive report is compiled documenting our findings and recommendations which includes imagery of the assault.
