Physical Site Penetration Testing
How Secure Is Your Site — Really?
Before you assume your site is protected, let us try to get in.
At MW Global Security, our physical penetration testing service simulates real-world intrusions to uncover overlooked vulnerabilities in your security setup. From weak fencing and exposed gates to blind spots and impersonation risks, we test how easily an intruder could breach your perimeter — then give you the tools to stop it.
This is proactive protection, not reactive reporting. All findings are evidence-based, risk-rated, and professionally documented — giving you clarity, control, and compliance.
Physical Site Penetration Testing
Test Your Site Before Someone Else Does!
How secure is your site really? At MW Global Security, we deliver professional physical penetration testing services to uncover weaknesses in your security before they are exploited. From offices to critical infrastructure sites, we test how easily unauthorised individuals could gain entry, bypass systems, or access sensitive areas.
This isn’t a paperwork exercise. Our team carries out realistic, controlled attempts to breach your security using common tools and social tactics. The findings are documented with photographic evidence and accompanied by a full risk assessment.
“If we can get in, so can they. The goal is to find out how before it’s too late.”
