Physical Security Assessment

Overview

In today’s interconnected world, physical security is as crucial as cybersecurity in protecting an organization’s assets, employees, and data. Physical Security Assessments are essential for identifying vulnerabilities in physical infrastructure, from access controls to surveillance systems, that could be exploited to gain unauthorized access or cause harm. These assessments ensure that physical security measures are comprehensive and effective, providing a strong first line of defense against intrusions.

Malleum’s Physical Security Assessments integrate seamlessly with our cybersecurity services to offer a holistic approach to organizational security. By evaluating the physical security measures in place, we help organizations detect potential breaches that could lead to cyber threats. Our assessments are designed to identify weak points in physical defenses and recommend enhancements that support the overall security strategy, ensuring that physical and cyber defenses are aligned and mutually reinforcing.

Our Approach

Malleum’s approach to Physical Security Assessments is comprehensive, focusing on identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in the physical security setup while ensuring these measures support the broader cybersecurity strategy.

  1. Site Surveys

    Detailed surveys assess the layout and security of facilities, identifying critical assets and potential vulnerabilities from perimeter security to internal access controls.

  2. Vulnerability Identification

    We analyze potential entry points, surveillance coverage, and effectiveness of physical controls to identify weaknesses that could be exploited.

  3. Risk Assessment

    A thorough risk assessment determines the impact of vulnerabilities, focusing on scenarios that could lead to both physical and cyber breaches.

  4. Security Protocols Review

    Existing security protocols are reviewed for efficacy, including emergency response and visitor management systems.

  5. Recommendations and Enhancements

    Based on findings, we provide recommendations to bolster physical security, from upgrading surveillance systems to enhancing access controls.
