Perimeter and access
The engagement covers the facility perimeter, vehicle and pedestrian gates, badge and access-control systems, and how far an unauthorized person can move once they are past the first door.
Physical security testing
Data Center Penetration Testing
Rubicon has been doing physical security penetration testing of data centers for 5 years and has tested dozens of facilities. We are a licensed security company whose own team does the work—so why not hire the people doing the testing directly, instead of a firm that resells or subcontracts it.
Standing guard coverage: Security Guards.
Tailgating and social engineering
We test how staff, contractors, and visitors respond to tailgating, pretexting, and other social-engineering attempts aimed at getting past badge readers and reception without force.
Guard post response
We observe how posts detect, challenge, and escalate an intrusion attempt, then document what worked and what did not so the site can tighten the response.
What you get
The point of the engagement is a clear picture of how the facility holds up under a controlled physical intrusion attempt, and a written path to fix what failed.
- Written findings with clear severity
- Remediation recommendations the site can act on
- Coverage of badge systems, doors, and visitor processes
- A debrief with the people who run the facility
Hire the team doing the work
Many firms sell data center penetration testing and then hand the job to someone else. Rubicon's team does the testing itself. You deal with the people on the ground, not a middleman.
