Physical Security Assessment
Would your security prevent an on-site attack? A Physical Security assessment will help you prepare for an unwanted visitor.
Would your security prevent an on-site attack? A Physical Security assessment will help you prepare for an unwanted visitor.
The modern cyberattack is a multi-vector effort – including attempts to compromise your offices and physical data centre. If they cannot breach your firewall and perimeter defences, hackers may try to compromise systems on site.
A Physical Security Assessment tests every aspect of your data centre defences. How do you control access to the machine room? Could malware be installed manually on your PCs? Are your employees properly trained to deal with a social engineering attack?
To identify on-site vulnerabilities
If a stranger walked in off the street, how much of your IT infrastructure could they access? An assessment will identify shortcomings and loopholes that expose your business to unacceptable risks.
To identify new training opportunities
A confident hacker could trick unprepared employees into granting access to secure areas of your building or divulging sensitive information. A Physical Security Assessment will uncover these instances and identify where additional staff training is required.
To create a holistic security strategy
To counter multi-vector cyberattacks, you need to include physical security provisions as part of your strategy. An assessment will help you understand where additional work is required to increase overall protections.
To make effective security investments
Physical security provisions are more involved than simply strengthening the door to the server room. A Physical Security Assessment will help identify those areas most in need of investment.
To achieve or maintain compliance
Regulations like GDPR are not solely restricted to IT systems. Your business has a duty to protect all personal data, including details held in paper files. To maintain compliance, you will need to secure physical and digital assets.
Our consultants will conduct a site survey to assess your current defences. They will look at how easy it is to enter your premises, how doors are locked, and whether access controls are being used effectively.
If a hacker gains access to one of your PCs, can they install malware? Could they connect an external storage device to steal data? The assessment will consider how well you protect against physical access by attackers.
Our consultants can make an unexpected visit to your offices, and attempt to gain unauthorised access – just as a hacker would. We will then conduct a penetration test to see how many systems we can compromise before being challenged.
We will provide a plain-English report containing our findings, along with an action plan for improving physical security of your systems.
Other approaches we've witnessed have included convoluted steps and commonly ends with incorrect information being handed to the consultant assigned to the engagement.
Our approach to security involves a qualified security consultant through the entire process to ensure quality, accuracy and consistency.
Oysta is very happy with the support, service and dedication of the Wavenet team. Working with the Oysta team every step of the way, not only did they check all security on the device, they also provided feedback on the quality of the hardware. I will be working with Wavenet again.
Mario Zuccaro, Founder and CEO, Oysta TechnologyWe have been really pleased with the service provided by Wavenet. We have found them to be extremely easy to work with. We also felt their fee structure was reasonable. We would recommend Wavenet to anyone looking for a PCI pen testing partner.
Andy Phillips, Inspired OutsourcingGreat service. Gave us exactly what we needed, as promised.
Philip Cunnington, TalkPlus NHSWe were extremely pleased with the service, knowledge and professionalism shown by Wavenet. After the remediation phase, we then ran a phishing exercise with them to remind staff of the need to be vigilant with external email communications. I would have no hesitation in using or recommending Wavenet in the future due to the quality of work carried out at a great price.
Graeme Thistlethwaite, ICT, Business Change and Business Support ManagerWavenet provided a high quality penetration service at a reasonable price … communications were great … the Pen test team flexed around us and our other commitments to get the job done. Thanks!
