Digital defenses mean little if someone can walk into your office and plug in. Our physical penetration testing attempts authorized on-site access — bypassing locks, cloning badges and exploiting human trust — to reach sensitive areas, network ports and unattended systems.
We demonstrate the real-world path from the front door to your data, then help you close it.
Our physical penetration testing attempts authorized on-site access to your facilities — bypassing locks, cloning RFID badges, tailgating and exploiting human trust — to reach sensitive areas, network ports and unattended systems. We document every step with photographs and authorized markers rather than causing harm, always carrying an authorization letter, and demonstrate the real path from the front door to your data alongside layered recommendations to close it.
Digital defenses mean little if an attacker can walk into your office and plug into the network or walk out with a device. Physical access frequently bypasses millions of dollars of technical controls in minutes.

Our methodology
Scoping & rules of engagement. We agree objectives, targets and boundaries for your physical penetration testing, so testing is safe, authorized and focused on what matters to your business.
Reconnaissance & mapping. We enumerate the full attack surface in scope, building a complete picture before any exploitation begins.
Manual exploitation. Our senior testers chain vulnerabilities by hand — going far beyond automated scanners — to prove real, demonstrable impact.
Analysis & reporting. Every finding is triaged, risk-rated with CVSS and written up with a copy-paste reproduction and clear remediation.
Remediation support & free retest. We support your team through the fixes and retest the remediated issues to confirm they are genuinely closed.
Tools & techniques
We use covert-entry tools, RFID cloning equipment, lock-bypass kits and pretext scenarios to attempt authorized on-site access. We document every step with photographs and authorized markers rather than causing harm, always carrying an authorization letter, and demonstrate the real path from entry to sensitive areas, network ports and unattended systems.

What’s included in your report
Every physical penetration testing engagement concludes with a comprehensive, board-ready report and a working session to walk your team through it. Your report includes:
An executive summary with overall risk posture for non-technical stakeholders
Detailed technical findings, each with a step-by-step, copy-paste reproduction
CVSS v3.1 severity ratings and business-impact context for every issue
Prioritized, actionable remediation guidance your engineers can apply directly
A complimentary retest to confirm fixes and update finding status
A formal attestation letter for customers, auditors and compliance programs
Standards & frameworks

Outcomes you can expect
After your physical penetration testing, you will have clear, evidence-based visibility into your real security risk — not a scanner’s guesswork. You will know exactly which weaknesses an attacker could exploit, what the business impact would be, and the precise steps to fix them in priority order. Teams use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy customer and regulator security requirements, and demonstrate due diligence to their board. With a complimentary retest included, you also get documented proof that the issues are genuinely resolved.
Engagement details & logistics
Every physical penetration testing starts with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal and a clear statement of work. Most engagements are delivered fully remotely, with on-site work arranged where it genuinely adds value. Throughout testing we maintain an agreed communication cadence and escalate any critical, high-impact finding to you immediately rather than waiting for the final report. All work is performed under a signed NDA with strict data-handling controls, using safe, non-disruptive techniques and carefully coordinated rules of engagement to protect your production systems. On completion you receive your report and a walkthrough session, followed by a complimentary retest once your fixes are in place. Typical engagements are booked one to three weeks in advance, and urgent or pre-deadline testing can often be accommodated — just ask at hi@agentoffense.com.
Why organizations choose AgentOffense
Our physical penetration testing is delivered by senior offensive-security engineers who test the way real attackers do — manually, creatively and with a relentless focus on proving genuine, demonstrable impact. Here is what sets our engagements apart:
Manual, exploit-driven testing that chains vulnerabilities the way a real attacker would, going far beyond what automated scanners can find.
Reproducible proof for every finding, with copy-paste reproduction steps your engineers can follow and independently verify.
Honest severity calibration so you invest in fixing what genuinely matters and avoid wasting effort on false positives and noise.
Clear, business-focused reporting that speaks to engineers and executives alike, tying every issue to real-world impact.
A complimentary retest included, so you get documented proof that your fixes actually close the attack path.
Responsible, collaborative delivery with a named point of contact and secure handling of all data throughout the engagement.

Every physical penetration testing is scoped and priced individually, so you pay for exactly the coverage you need — with no hidden extras. After a short, no-obligation scoping call we send a fixed-price quote, usually within one business day, with clear deliverables, a firm timeline and a complimentary retest included. The price of your physical penetration testing depends on the size and complexity of the target and the depth of testing required, so you always know the cost up front before any work begins.
