Auditing & Penetration Testing

Exposing Vulnerabilities. Strengthening Defences.

At King Safety and Security, we believe that a security plan is only effective if it works under pressure. Our Auditing & Penetration Testing service is designed to challenge your current security measures, expose weaknesses, and ensure every layer of protection—physical, procedural, and human—is functioning as intended.

We offer a comprehensive programme of audits, inspections, and real-world testing for commercial offices, operational sites, residential estates, and corporate security teams across the UK and internationally.

Auditing and Penetration Testing King Safety & Security

Comprehensive Security Auditing

Our auditing services provide a clear, independent view of your current security performance, identifying both technical and procedural vulnerabilities. We assess:

Security team performance audits – evaluating conduct, presence, and incident readiness
Access control systems – badge management, biometrics, entry logs, and challenge protocols
CCTV functionality and blind spot analysis
Alarm systems and response timings
Out-of-hours procedures, including how sensitive assets and intellectual property (IP) are secured overnight
Perimeter checks, lighting audits, and signage reviews
Visitor and contractor management protocols
Staff awareness of emergency procedures and escalation routes

Where applicable, we include drug and alcohol testing for in-house and contracted security personnel, ensuring your team is fit for duty and aligned with your corporate risk appetite.

All audits are benchmarked against industry best practices, threat profiles, and regulatory requirements to produce detailed, actionable reports.

Penetration Testing: Real-World Pressure Testing

Our penetration testing simulates real-world adversarial behaviour to evaluate how your physical and procedural controls hold up under pressure. These tests are tailored to your environment and may include:

Covert or overt intrusion attempts
Tailgating and social engineering scenarios
Bypassing of physical access control systems
Testing night-time and weekend security resilience
Attempted data access or theft of sensitive documentation
Challenge-response drills for your guards and reception staff
Simulated insider threats or compromised credentials

These exercises provide powerful insights into not just your systems, but how your people and procedures respond in dynamic, time-sensitive situations.

Retained Auditing & Surprise Inspection Programmes

For clients requiring ongoing oversight, we offer retained auditing services that include:

Scheduled quarterly or monthly audits
Unannounced inspections of manned security teams
Randomised penetration tests and access breach simulations
Behavioural monitoring and performance reviews of contracted security staff
Policy compliance spot checks and incident response testing
Annual summary reports and board-level presentations on overall security health

This proactive model helps identify complacency, close gaps early, and maintain a consistent standard across your estate.

Ideal for:

Corporate offices handling sensitive client data or IP
Organisations relying on external guarding contracts
High-risk or high-value sites in energy, logistics, or infrastructure sectors
High-net-worth residences with security teams in place
Any entity that cannot afford to discover its weaknesses the hard way
