// Overview

What this service is.

A physical security walkthrough, sometimes called a whitelist walkthrough, is a collaborative assessment. Our operators walk your facility with your team, examining entrances, locks, access control, monitoring and procedures with full knowledge and cooperation.

It is faster and less disruptive than a covert test, and it often finds the most important issues. Many clients use it as a first step before covert entry testing.

Frequently asked questions.

How long does a walkthrough take?

It depends on the number and size of facilities. We scope it with you in advance.
