Physical Security / Tested in the Field

We test what you assume is secure.

Physical intrusion testing, covert entry, social engineering, and security assessments. Your badges, your guards, your visitor desk, your people. Compliance says they work. We find out if they do.

The Gap

Paper passes the audit. Doors get held open anyway.

Most organizations have never watched someone actually try to get in. Policies exist, cameras record, badges beep, and none of it has been tested against a motivated adversary.

The distance between documented security and demonstrated security is where incidents live. Our work measures that distance, then closes it.

From the Field / Sanitized

What engagements actually find.

Finding 01Perimeter

Reached the executive floor in eleven minutes through a propped loading dock and one held elevator door. No challenge from staff at any point.

Finding 02Access Control

A cloned contractor badge, copied in the lobby in under a minute, opened nine of eleven tested doors, including the server room.

Finding 03Personnel

A high-vis vest and a clipboard defeated a six-figure annual guard contract before the second cup of coffee.

Composites drawn from authorized engagements. Details altered to protect clients. Yours will be specific.

The Firm

It's time security was taken seriously.

Insurance pays for the incident. It doesn't pay for the headline, the lawsuit, or the employee who no longer feels safe at work. Every engagement finds the failure before someone hostile does, documents it without ambiguity, and helps you close it.

01Tested, not assumed.

Controls that have never been challenged are assumptions with budgets.

02Discreet by design.

Findings go to designated points of contact only, governed by written rules of engagement and NDAs.

03Field-built.

Operators with real-world domestic and international security experience. No theory-only consultants. No compliance theater.
