You have to start with the obvious.
What can be circumvented?
Guards, doors, fences.
Can the security gate be defeated by going over the fence around the back?
Can the alarmed door be defeated by climbing to the second floor window,
where there's no alarm on the glass?
Can the security cameras be circumvented by slipping by through the
blindspot?
Can all of the electronic security be defeated by plain trickery? Can
the guards or the administrators be fooled by a clever con artist?
All the gadgets in the world are worthless if the people behind them are
not very sophisticated.

Hi,all.
Okay,I've been contacted about pentesting physical security system for
a medium size company that is integrating IT & physical
security,ie;cameras,id gates,etc.
I'm not exactly sure where to start,other than the
obvious;passwords,permissions,etc.
Anyone have good ideas to help with this one?
Thanks in advance, Scott
