Physical Pentest • Red Teaming • Baiting Test

Perform a physical pentest?

While digital security often takes center stage, you cannot afford to neglect the physical security of your organization. Haagsch Recherchebureau helps corporations, banks, and government agencies identify and resolve vulnerabilities in their physical security. Our physical pentest is specifically designed to expose weaknesses in your security, from access controls to internal security procedures, protecting your organization against social engineering and exploitation. In 90% of the physical pentests we conduct, we gain entry successfully and undetected.

Approach within strict legal frameworks
You receive a tailored test with a clearly defined scope and Rules of Engagement established in advance. We only conduct pentests with written authorization and within clear legal frameworks, ensuring that compliance, privacy, security, and operational continuity are maintained. We simulate realistic attacks without causing unnecessary damage and with minimal disruption to business processes.

Thorough on-site investigation and human behavior analysis
During the physical pentest, we test the effectiveness of perimeter security, visitor management, and access authorizations, among other things. We evaluate key and badge management, locks, doors, access gates, and camera positioning, and test for vulnerabilities such as tailgating, unauthorized piggybacking, or the misuse of temporary access rights. Additionally, we examine the accessibility of documents, computers, phones, printers, presentation equipment, screens, network and USB ports, and server rooms that could be exploited by malicious actors.

Afterward, you will receive a comprehensive, certified report featuring a clear risk classification, concrete mitigation advice, and a practical roadmap to immediately address the identified shortcomings. We present our findings in person during an interactive session with the relevant stakeholders. To structurally embed security, we offer optional targeted awareness training for employees and conduct retests to verify the implemented measures.

What is a physical pentest?

A physical pentest (or physical penetration test) is a security assessment in which an ethical hacker or security specialist attempts to gain access to a physical building or site to identify weaknesses in physical security. The goal is to test the effectiveness of an organization's physical security measures and uncover any vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.

While traditional cybersecurity focuses on the digital front door, a physical pentest evaluates the human and organizational security perimeter on-site. Our specialists employ advanced methods, such as tailgating, social engineering, baiting, and bypassing physical access controls, to gain undetected access to the core of your organization or critical IT infrastructure, such as server rooms.

What is vishing?

Vishing is a form of social engineering where an attacker contacts the phone to trick someone into disclosing confidential information or taking certain actions. The term is a combination of “voice” and “phishing”. Where traditional phishing uses an email or message, vishing over the phone often uses a credible backstory, urgency, or deception.

What is baiting?

Baiting is a social engineering technique in which an attacker uses a physical "lure" to entice someone into taking a careless action that compromises security. Think of abandoned USB drives, external hard drives, or seemingly innocent charging cables that someone picks up or plugs in, or tokens that can unlock restricted areas or devices. In a test, the goal is not to cause damage, but to measure how employees react to tempting objects and whether procedures are in place that prohibit the use of unknown media or devices.
