Beyond Firewalls: Physical & Facility Security Testing

Who We Are

Obventum Cyber Security specializes not only in digital threats but also in the physical resilience of organizations. Our Physical & Facility Security Testing service simulates real-world intrusion attempts against offices, data centers, warehouses, and critical infrastructure facilities. By combining red team tactics, social engineering, and facility breach attempts, we provide organizations across Croatia, the Netherlands, and Slovenia with the insights they need to strengthen their overall security posture.

We have collaborated with both government agencies and private organizations across a wide range of sectors:

  • Government & Critical Infrastructure – ministries, energy providers, transportation hubs.
  • Financial Services – banks, insurance companies, and fintech offices.
  • Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals – hospitals, laboratories, and research facilities.
  • Industrial & Manufacturing – factories, warehouses, and operational plants.
  • Technology & Data Centers – cloud service providers, hosting facilities, and IT hubs.

By working in Zagreb, Amsterdam, and Ljubljana, as well as across smaller municipalities, we’ve tested and improved the resilience of organizations that hold sensitive data, intellectual property, and critical operational assets.

Why Physical Security Testing Matters

While cyberattacks dominate headlines, many breaches begin with a physical security failure. A stolen badge, a tailgated employee, or a misplaced USB stick can bypass millions in cybersecurity investments.

In Croatia, the Netherlands, and Slovenia, organizations are increasingly required to meet strict regulatory requirements for data protection and resilience. But true compliance goes beyond policies — it requires testing whether facilities can actually withstand intrusion attempts, theft, sabotage, or insider threats.

Our tests simulate what a determined adversary — criminal groups, corporate spies, or even disgruntled insiders — could do in the real world.

Our Methodology

  • Perimeter Breach Simulations
    We test fences, gates, CCTV blind spots, and security patrol routines. This shows whether an intruder could approach undetected or exploit timing weaknesses.
  • Access Control Testing
    We attempt to bypass card readers, exploit tailgating opportunities, or gain entry via delivery entrances and side doors.
  • Insider & Social Engineering Scenarios
    Using realistic pretexts (maintenance, vendor visits, courier delivery), we test how easily staff grant access or share sensitive information.
  • Secure Area Penetration
    We target data centers, server rooms, and R&D labs — attempting to reach restricted zones where sensitive data or intellectual property is stored.
  • Evidence Collection & Awareness
    Every action is documented with photos, logs, and detailed notes. Post-engagement, we deliver a tailored awareness presentation for employees and management, showing exactly how breaches occurred and how to stop them in the future.

Client Impact Example

A financial services company in Slovenia contracted Obventum to test the resilience of their headquarters building, which stored sensitive customer and transaction data.

During the assessment, our team successfully:

  • Entered the facility by tailgating an employee after observing shift changes.
  • Reached the data center floor by posing as IT support.
  • Accessed an unlocked workstation left unattended in a meeting room.

The entire simulation took under 90 minutes, proving that an attacker could have stolen sensitive information without triggering any alarms.

After our tailored awareness workshop and report, the organization:

  • Introduced multi-factor access controls for restricted areas.
  • Increased security awareness training for staff, focusing on tailgating and badge checks.
  • Implemented randomized guard patrols to reduce predictability.

Within six months, a follow-up test showed a 70% improvement in employee vigilance and facility resilience.

Results Across Regions

Our Physical & Facility Security Testing has delivered significant results across Croatia, the Netherlands, and Slovenia:

  • Croatia – government ministries and healthcare facilities now enforce stricter physical access controls, ensuring protection of citizen records and patient data.
  • Netherlands – logistics and tech companies reinforced warehouses and server farms, reducing theft and insider risk.
  • Slovenia – financial and industrial clients gained measurable improvements in both employee awareness and physical deterrence systems.

From Zagreb’s government hubs to Amsterdam’s data centers and Ljubljana’s corporate headquarters, our physical breach simulations continue to uncover real gaps that would otherwise go unnoticed.

What Our Clients Say

“Obventum’s physical security assessment was a wake-up call. We always thought cyberattacks were our biggest threat — until their team walked straight into our restricted floor and demonstrated how easily someone could gain access. The awareness training afterward completely changed how our staff approaches physical security.”

Chief Technology Officer

"We hired Obventum for a full red team engagement on our on-prem and cloud systems in Split. Their team simulated real-world attacks, exposing weaknesses in our security posture while keeping our operations unaffected. The detailed report and follow-up consultation gave us clear, practical steps to strengthen defenses. Highly recommended for advanced cyber security and offensive security services in Croatia."
