IT Physical Security

Secure your company’s
Physical Infrastructure

Cyber attacks aren’t only digital. Many serious security incidents involve physical factors: unauthorized access, hardware theft or tampering, interference with racks or cabling, on-site social engineering. A door left ajar or a shared access badge can nullify your investments in firewalls and EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solutions.

Strengthen your physical security, not just your cyber defenses. We provide consulting, access governance and security audits to protect people, server rooms and critical assets. Our approach combines people, processes and technology in a single integrated security ecosystem, ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements.

Physical Security Assessment

Focus

Validate the effectiveness of physical access controls and human procedures at critical location, through a structured physical security assessment / on-site penetration test

Simulated Threats

Tailgating scenarios at different times of day and impersonation attacks (courier, maintenance technician, guest, internal auditor)

Related Processes

Visitor management, badge escort procedures, mantrap/turnstile enforcement, anti-passback access control

Methodology

Kick-off & Rules of Engagement (perimeter, out-of-scope areas, kill switch, communication channels), rapid reconnaissance and controlled on-site execution

Outputs

Risk-prioritized report, executive presentation deck, remediation roadmap, KPIs and corrective actions, asset register, security policies and SOPs

IT Physical Security Services

Physical Red Team

Emulation of an advanced physical attacker to test people, processes and technologies in sensitive areas, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and D3FEND frameworks

Output

Executive report with evidence and remediation recommendations, plus an operational playbook for SOC/PSO

Supply Chain & Third Part Physical Risk

Assessment of physical risks introduced by third parties such as maintenance staff, contractors and logistics providers

Output

Human Risk Report, targeted training, and a practical toolbox for HR/PSO

Social Engineering Layered Program

Measurement and reinforcement of security behaviours for frontline staff against social-engineering attacks

Output

Supplier risk matrices, standard contractual clauses, and an escalation playbook

Physical Cyber Convergence (IT/OT)

Analysis of physical and logical impacts on IT/OT environments (rogue device introduction, appliance tampering, hardware manipulation)

Output

Hardening plan and detection measures for endpoints/devices

Deception & Honey Physical Assets

Deployment of physical decoy assets with monitoring and SIEM/SOC integration to enable early-warning alerts and threat detection

Output

Validated detection logs, prioritized alerts in the SIEM, and updates to the physical–logical threat model

Blue Teaming & Sensor Fusion

Enhanced detection and response through integration of badge logs, RF detectors and CCTV analytics with SIEM and physical IOC data

Output

SOAR rules, automated runbooks, and tabletop training exercises

Physical Security Compliance

We put compliance at the core of IT physical security, translating international standards into concrete, auditable policies, processes and controls. In particular, our services align with:

  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 – Alignment with physical security controls
  • NIST SP 800-53 (PE) – Physical & Environmental Protection
  • GDPR – Policy, notices, data minimisation, retention and DPIA where required
  • NIS2 – Due diligence & Audit readiness
  • Business Continuity – Integration with BCP/DRP plans

Do you want to measure the security of your Physical Access controls?

Book a physical security assessment: we define Rules of Engagement, perimeter and KPIs, tailoring the engagement to your specific needs.

IT Physical Security

Physical security protects locations and assets; cyber security protects data and systems. The most effective approach is integrated: physical events feed into the SIEM and directly influence logical access control.

 
 

Yes, we design use cases and playbooks to correlate badge data, IAM/IGA events and physical presence signals for advanced detection and response.

Yes, we assess the physical risk posed by maintenance staff, contractors and logistics partners, delivering a supplier risk matrix and standard contractual clauses.

 

Timelines vary based on specific requirements. The Tailgating & Impersonation Readiness test typically lasts 2–4 weeks and involves two senior operators plus one Project Lead.

Formal Rules of Engagement, a strict no-damage / no-disruption approach, deep physical–cyber convergence, and full mapping to MITRE ATT&CK, D3FEND and Engage, with deliverables designed for both the board and the SOC.

    • Sale or installation of CCTV systems or other physical infrastructure

    • Design and management of emergency procedures (evacuation, fire-safety, etc.)

    • Management or destruction of physical media, disposal or chain-of-custody services

    • Periodic inspections of critical infrastructure (power, UPS, HVAC, environmental sensors)
