Test the Human Element with Physical Security and Social Engineering

Even the best firewalls can’t stop someone from walking through the front door or tricking an employee into clicking a link. Adversim’s Physical Security and Social Engineering services test your people, buildings, and processes—the areas most attackers exploit first. We reveal the real-world risks that most organizations overlook.

Strengthen Human & Physical Defenses with Social Engineering and Physical Testing

Real-World Simulations. Real Results. Real Readiness.

Assessing Human & Facility Security Weaknesses

We approach your organization like a real attacker would—looking for weak entry points, unaware employees, or vulnerable processes. Our team uses tactics like badge cloning, tailgating, dumpster diving, phishing, and impersonation to test how far we can go.

First, we work with you to define goals and safe boundaries. Then, we launch a stealth campaign that may include physical entry attempts, email or phone-based attacks, or on-site social engineering. Finally, we provide a detailed breakdown of what worked, what failed, and how to improve.

Our services may include:

  • Physical Security Testing – We attempt to enter secure areas without authorization using pretexting, tailgating, or cloned badges.

  • Phishing Campaigns – We send crafted emails to test how well employees recognize and report suspicious activity.

  • Vishing (Voice Phishing) – We call staff while impersonating vendors or IT to collect credentials or access.

  • On-Site Impersonation – We pose as delivery drivers, contractors, or new hires to test in-person deception tactics.

  • Dumpster Diving & Recon – We collect discarded documents or gather OSINT to identify additional weaknesses.

Human-Based Security Testing & Awareness Training

Employees are often the weakest link in security. Our tests measure how well your workforce can recognize and respond to real-world attacks, from phishing attempts to in-person deception.

  • Phishing & Vishing Simulations – Identifying weaknesses in email security and phone-based social engineering defenses.

  • USB Drop & Media Manipulation Testing – Assessing the risks of infected devices in corporate environments.

  • Security Awareness & Social Engineering Resilience Training – Educating staff on recognizing social engineering threats.
