About
An adversarial approach to physical security
Intelligence-led testing delivered with discipline, discretion, and clear governance.
BlackTrace Operations delivers intelligence-led physical security testing for organisations that take real-world risk seriously. We simulate credible threats to expose weaknesses in physical security, access controls, and human processes—before they’re exploited for real.
By combining physical intrusion testing, social engineering, and physical-led adversary simulation, we show how people, buildings, and process withstand a determined attacker—and what access would actually enable.
This isn’t checklist compliance or a theoretical assessment. It’s controlled adversarial testing designed to produce clear, actionable outcomes—delivered discreetly and with minimal disruption.
Operational experience, applied responsibly
BlackTrace Operations is led by practitioners with experience supporting national-level security and intelligence missions across high-trust environments and sensitive operational contexts.
This background informs how we plan and conduct our engagements — emphasising disciplined reconnaissance, realistic adversary methods, proportionality, and control. It also shapes how we manage legality, risk, and client trust throughout every engagement.
Our experience is complemented by delivery within large commercial organisations, ensuring our work reflects modern enterprise environments, governance expectations, and real-world business constraints.
Trusted adversaries. Clear outcomes.
We operate as trusted adversaries so our clients can understand their true exposure — not just their documented controls. Our objective is simple: to help organisations identify and close the gaps that matter most, before a genuine adversary does. All activity is authorised, documented, and governed by agreed rules of engagement.
