Physical Security Assessments
Can your multi-million dollar badge and/or biometric access system be defeated by a $5.00 rare earth magnet? Hire us and find out.

HostsPlus's security services typically provide our clients with the ability to find weaknesses that may exist on their networks or in their applications. However, the same prinicpals that are used to exploit vulnerabilities in networks or applications can also be applied to gaining physical access to a building or secured facility. Identifying weaknesses is crucial to the overall security posture of your organization. Once weaknesses have been identified and resolved, your organization will become more resilient to attacks by thieves, hackers, and spies.

HostsPlus’s multidisciplinary team enables us to conduct a broad swath of security engagements including physical security assessments. Our consultants are well versed in ways to defeat and bypass a plethora of security controls in Black Box (coming in from the street) or White Box (schematics provided) environments. Members of our Team have a strong background in electronics which can be leveraged to analyze various alarm and electronic door lock mechanisms to find weaknesses. Other members of our team can attempt to hack into the security system administration interfaces via the network, and employ social engineering tactics to trick employees in assisting us in gaining access to restricted areas or internal networks. Below are some of the points of a Physical Security Assessment:
+ Access Control Enforcement
+ Officer/Guard Stations
+ IPTV/CCTV Monitoring
+ Motion Sensor Foiling Tampering/Tricking/Bypass/Overriding
+ Card Reader/Biometrics Tampering/Tricking/Bypass/Overriding
+ Mantrap Tampering/Tricking/Bypass/Overriding
+ Social Engineering
+ Piggybacking
+ Card Duplication/Replication
+ Lock Picking
+ Architectural Security Logic (i.e. making sure walls that surround protected areas go all the way to the “hard ceiling” or “hard floor” instead of stopping at the edge of a drop ceiling or false floor.)
+ Network Based Access Control Administration Interface
+ Network Based Monitoring Interface
+ Trojan CD/Device Drops

HostsPlus offers a spectrum of services and reporting options that will provide our clients with exactly the right information that they need to identify, prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities which could result in physical access to your secured facilities. HostsPlus offers security assessment services that will fit almost any budget.
