Digital defences mean little if someone can walk into your Cyprus office and plug in. We attempt authorised on-site access — bypassing locks, cloning badges and exploiting trust — to reach sensitive areas, network ports and unattended systems.
We document the real path from the front door to your data with photos and authorised markers, then help you close it.
We approach physical penetration testing from the attacker's side of the keyboard, prioritising exploitable risk over long lists of theoretical issues. We map your real environment, not a generic template, then test every path where trust is granted and every place where controls could be bypassed.
The result is clarity: a prioritised, exploitable-risk view of your physical attack surface that your team can act on immediately, backed by proof rather than a scanner's guesswork.
A convincing security posture is now a commercial requirement across the Cyprus market. A weakness that reaches customer or financial data can trigger a NIS2 resilience and TIBER-style obligation, damage hard-won client trust, and stall deals while security questionnaires go unanswered. Our physical penetration testing exists to remove that uncertainty before an attacker — or an auditor — finds the gap first.
By proving exactly what is exploitable and what it would cost, we turn a vague worry into a concrete, fundable remediation plan. Cyprus firms use our reports to close real gaps, satisfy CySEC, GDPR and NIS2 expectations, and demonstrate genuine due diligence to clients, partners and insurers — with a free retest to prove the fixes hold.

Unattended workstations and clean-desk failures
How we run your engagement
Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your physical penetration testing is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.
Tools & techniques
We tailor each physical penetration testing to your stack, prioritising tailgating & social entry, rfid/badge cloning & bypass and lock picking & door bypass and any control that stands between an attacker and your data.
Our red team work models real adversaries end to end, structured around the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We plan objectives, build tooling and infrastructure, and execute with strict operational security so we test not just whether we can get in, but whether your people, process and technology detect and respond. Where useful, we run the engagement as a collaborative purple team to accelerate your detection engineering.
Every action is logged and de-conflicted with your trusted agents, and nothing is left in place. The outcome is an honest measure of your detection and response maturity — with a timeline your SOC can replay against their own alerts.
When you need this engagement
You are deploying, changing or relying on systems where tailgating & social entry would be business-critical
You have passed penetration tests but never faced an objective-driven adversary
Your board or regulator wants evidence of detection and response capability
You are a Cyprus financial institution preparing for NIS2 or DORA-style resilience testing
You want to train your defenders against realistic, current attacker tradecraft
What you receive
On-site access narrative with evidence
Physical control gap analysis
Layered remediation recommendations
Executive photo-documented report
Your deliverables
When your physical penetration testing wraps up, you receive a clear, audit-ready report plus a walkthrough call with your team. Inside you will find:
A concise executive summary that management and the board can act on
Every technical finding with a reproducible, copy-paste proof of concept
CVSS v3.1 ratings and plain-language business impact for each issue
Practical, prioritised remediation your developers can implement straight away
A free retest and updated finding status once fixes are in place
A signed attestation letter for clients, auditors, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001

What you gain
By the end of your physical penetration testing, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.
Working with us
Every physical penetration testing begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.
