Physical Penetration Testing for Washington, DC Buildings
DC buildings look harder to enter than they are. Turnstiles, visitor badges, and uniformed lobby staff create a strong first impression, and a physical penetration test measures what is behind it: whether someone who clears or skirts the lobby can move through service corridors, freight elevators, and tenant floors unchallenged.
Braav's testers attempt entry the way a real adversary would: tailgating at turnstiles during morning peak, presenting as vendors or couriers at the loading dock, testing stairwell doors and roof access, and checking whether after-hours controls match the daytime posture. In a city where staff are trained not to tailgate, we measure how often courtesy wins anyway.
Every test runs under written authorization with defined rules of engagement. The report documents each attempted entry, how far it went, and gives your team a prioritized fix list, from post orders and camera angles to hardware and escort policy.
For Washington clients we commonly test Class A office towers, association headquarters, and mixed-use buildings.
Request a consultation to scope a test for your building.
