At Assist Investigations, we don’t just assess risks — we test them. Our physical penetration testing service simulates real-world intrusion attempts to evaluate how easily an unauthorised person could access your premises, sensitive areas, or assets.
Whether you’re managing a high-risk site, protecting staff and data, or looking to test the effectiveness of your access controls, our covert testing provides the answers with evidence to support improvements.
Physical penetration testing is a controlled, professional attempt to bypass your building’s physical security systems, such as locks, CCTV, guards, or reception processes to expose weaknesses.
Using the same tactics as real intruders, our specialists attempt to gain unauthorised access to your facility. This may include tailgating, bypassing entry points, posing as contractors or staff, or identifying lapses in protocol.
All testing is ethical, planned with you in advance, and carried out safely and discreetly.
Our Director, Erika Morris is trained to the highest standard, holding the QNUK Level 4 Award in Physical Penetration Testing Operations — this allows us to be equipped with the specialist skills to identify real-world vulnerabilities in your physical security, access controls, and procedures through authorised, intelligence-led testing.
With a background in Policing, Private Investigation and threat mitigation, we bring real-world insight into how people exploit weaknesses and how to stop them.
Our physical penetration tests go beyond a checklist. We think like intruders, act like intruders, and deliver professional, confidential results that help you stay steps ahead.
