Razorthorn Security's Physical Red Team Assessment is a professional service that evaluates the physical security measures protecting an organisation's facilities, premises, and assets. Also referred to as physical penetration testing, the service simulates real-world attack scenarios carried out by security specialists targeting vulnerabilities in physical infrastructure, access controls, and security procedures. The assessment follows a structured methodology across multiple phases: - Pre-Engagement: Defining objectives, obtaining legal authorisation, and assembling a qualified team. - Information Gathering: Physical reconnaissance of facility layout and social engineering to understand employee routines. - Planning: Developing attack scenarios tailored to the specific environment and establishing rules of engagement. - Testing: Executing physical access attempts via lock picking, tailgating, and exploiting vulnerabilities; conducting social engineering tests. - Reporting: Logging all activities, findings, and observations, supported by photographs and videos. - Documentation: Vulnerability assessment with targeted remediation recommendations. Typical engagements span 4–8 weeks from scoping to final report, with active testing lasting 1–5 days. The service is applicable across industries, including financial services, healthcare, and government sectors. It addresses compliance requirements and helps organisations identify security gaps, strengthen physical controls, and improve employee security awareness. Providers holding CREST, CHECK, or ISO 27001 certifications are recommended for this type of engagement.
