Physical Penetration Testing – Multi‑Use Municipal Facility

Overview
Our team was engaged to perform a physical penetration test at a large, multi-use municipal facility. The eight-storey building houses a combination of public clinics, community support services, courts, and administrative offices. The engagement included preparation, execution of the controlled penetration test, and a final report detailing findings and recommendations to enhance security.

Scope of Work

  • Conducted preparation and planning for the penetration test.
  • Executed a controlled physical penetration test across multiple access points.
  • Documented how access was gained and the techniques used.
  • Delivered a report outlining findings and practical recommendations to strengthen security.

Methodology

Preparation & Planning

  • Reviewed available site information and coordinated test parameters with the client.
  • Defined rules of engagement to ensure safety and minimal operational disruption.
  • Planned penetration approaches appropriate for a complex, multi-use facility.

Physical Penetration Test Execution

  • Carried out controlled attempts to gain unauthorized access within the building.
  • Navigated publicly accessible and restricted areas in accordance with agreed parameters.
  • Documented access paths, techniques, and conditions that enabled entry.

Reporting & Recommendations

  • Produced a detailed report describing how the building was penetrated.
  • Identified contributing factors that allowed access.
  • Provided actionable recommendations to enhance physical security and reduce future risk.

Outcomes

  • Real-world insight into how the facility could be physically penetrated.
  • Clear documentation of penetration methods and security gaps.
  • Practical guidance to improve physical security measures and protocols.

Impact
The project provided the client with a realistic understanding of their building’s physical security exposure. The findings and recommendations supported informed decision-making and helped guide improvements to better protect staff, sensitive functions, and the public in a complex, multi-use environment.
