Physical Penetration Testing

Physical Penetration Testing

Physical penetration testing is a critical component of comprehensive security testing, aiming to identify vulnerabilities in the physical infrastructure of an organisation

Physical penetration testing is a security assessment method used to evaluate the physical security measures of an organisation. This simulates real-world attack methodologies by attempting to gain unauthorised access to a building, area, and or resource to identify vulnerabilities and test the effectiveness of existing physical security controls, policies and procedures.

Tabletop Exercise

Tabletop Exercise

Tabletop Exercises (TTX) serve as a proactive and strategic approach to testing an organisation’s response to various emergency situations, incidents, and never events

Unlike simulated tests and drills (live exercises), tabletop exercises involve stakeholders discussing and analysing hypothetical scenarios, allowing them to evaluate their preparedness and response capabilities in safe environment.

Live Security Exercise

Live Security Exercise

Live Exercises take tabletop exercises to the next level by incorporating real-time simulations of emergency incidents/situations

Live exercises, also known as live drills or simulations, are a real-time response and involve the active participation of various internal and external stakeholders. Live exercises are training activities designed to test and improve an organisation’s preparedness, response capabilities, and coordination in the event of a security incident or emergency. The greatest advantage of Live Exercises is that all key processes and systems that will be relied upon during an incident are actually utilised/tested live during the exercise.
