Physical Security Testing

At Project Black Security, we take physical security assessments as seriously as any cyber threat, because in the real world, these two aspects are inseparable. A determined adversary does not choose between picking a lock or exploiting a network vulnerability; they utilize whatever method works. Our approach to physical security assessments reflects this reality.

We conduct security testing on your environments as a real-world threat actor would, examining everything from the perimeter fence and gate hardware to access control systems, internal doors, server rooms, and the personnel managing them. There are no assumptions or box-ticking involved. Every engagement is scoped, contracted, and executed with full authorisation.

Our assessments encompass the full spectrum of physical, personnel, technical, and cyber security, aligned with guidance from the UK's National Protective Security Authority (NPSA), the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and UK NACE. Where relevant, we reference the CAPSS framework, which governs the cyber assurance of physical security systems, and the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) to ensure our findings are meaningful within the broader context of risk management for your organisation.
