Compass IT Compliance Free Webinar: The DIY Security Audit: How to Test Your Facility's Physical Def

While organizations pour millions into firewalls and endpoint protection, a determined adversary can often bypass every digital control simply by walking through an unlocked door. This webinar explores physical security audits as a foundational assessment approach for understanding real-world facility vulnerabilities. Unlike social engineering or covert entry tests that involve impersonation and deception, these collaborative walkthroughs systematically identify weaknesses in access controls, perimeter defenses, and security procedures without adversarial tactics. We'll examine common vulnerabilities that create risk—from propped doors and ineffective badge systems to unmonitored service entrances and inconsistent visitor protocols—and discuss practical frameworks for evaluating physical security posture. Attendees will learn what to look for when conducting their own facility assessments, how to document and prioritize findings effectively, and how these evaluations fit within broader security maturity models, providing actionable knowledge for strengthening the physical layer of defense that often represents an organization's most exposed attack surface.
