What Can Our Penetration Test Service Do For you?

What Tactics and Methods Do Our Physical Pen Testers Do?

When you hire Double Check Security your are hiring the most competent red team in the UK. Here are the top ten methods and tactics we .

15 Methods To How We Approach Pen Testing

1. Map Entrances and Perimeter

The first step is to walk around the building to note entry points, exits, and any visible security measures. This helps to spot weak spots like poor lighting or unmonitored doors.

2. Test for Tailgating Opportunities

This involves trying to follow employees through doors without using a keycard or other access method. It’s a way to check if people notice unauthorised individuals entering with them.

3. Engage in Social Engineering

The tester might pose as a staff member, visitor, or contractor to see if employees give them access or share information without proper checks.

4. Lock Picking

In cases where other methods don’t work, lock picking can bypass traditional door locks. However, it’s often a last resort as it can be time-consuming.

5. Test Network Jacks

Some buildings have unsecured network jacks that a tester can plug into, giving potential access to internal systems. This checks if all jacks are either secured or monitored.

6. Check Meeting Rooms

Meeting rooms can contain sensitive information, equipment, or access to networks. The tester checks if these rooms are secured after use.

7. Test Server Rooms, Wires, and Cables

Server rooms house vital infrastructure. The tester checks if they’re locked and if access is controlled and monitored. They also inspect if network cables and power lines are exposed or unprotected.

8. Slip Latches and Doors

Some tools can slip latches without needing keys. This tests if doors are installed with anti-slip measures that make them harder to bypass.

9. Examine Fire Exits and Cooling Systems

In emergencies, doors often unlock automatically, creating potential security gaps. Testers check if these systems allow access from the outside or if they’re monitored.

10. Break RFID Tags’ Encryption

In buildings with RFID-based access, testers use small devices to try cloning access cards. This tests if the system’s encryption is strong enough to prevent cloning.

11. Shoulder Surf

When testers are in the building, they might observe people entering passwords or handling confidential data. This checks if employees are aware of their surroundings and are careful with sensitive information.

12. Search for Sensitive Information

Sometimes, sensitive information like client lists or financial records is left in common areas. The tester looks for documents or screens left out in the open.

13. Intercept EM Waves

This involves capturing signals from wireless keyboards, screens, or other devices to access information. Though rare, it checks if electromagnetic leaks expose data.

14. Try Dumpster Diving

Sensitive documents are sometimes thrown away without being shredded. By checking bins, testers assess if secure disposal practices are followed.

15.Attempt to Use Master Keys and Common Keys

Some buildings use generic lock boxes or keys for access. The tester may attempt to find or use these to check if buildings rely on easy-to-duplicate keys.

Our corporate security services, deliver SIA licenced and DBS checked professionals who excel in customer service, crime deterrence and risk management. Our guards are highly trained to ensure the safety of your assets, employees, and visitors while upholding a professional, welcoming environment.
