Professional Home Security Assessments and Penetration Testing Across the UK

At On The Case, we offer specialist home penetration testing and security assessments to help homeowners identify vulnerabilities and improve physical and procedural security. Our team of former police officers and security professionals use realistic testing methods to reveal weaknesses before they are exploited.

We provide discreet, lawful, and practical recommendations so you can protect your family, property and possessions with confidence.

What Is Home Penetration Testing

Home penetration testing is a controlled, ethical simulated intrusion designed to test how easily an unauthorised person could gain access to your property, possessions or sensitive information. Unlike a generic security survey, penetration testing uses intelligence-led techniques and real-world tactics to expose weaknesses in locks, doors, windows, lighting, boundaries, routines and digital entry points.

Reports focus on practical, prioritised actions you can take to reduce risk and harden your home against opportunistic or targeted criminals.

Our Home Penetration Testing Services

We tailor our assessments to each property and client need. Typical services include:

• Perimeter and access testing – checking gates, fences, walls and external access points

• Entry point testing – assessing doors, windows, locks, garages and outbuildings

• Physical security appraisal – reviewing locks, shutters, alarms, lighting and CCTV placement

• Opportunistic scenario testing – simulating burglary methods used by intruders to identify weak spots

• Procedural and lifestyle review – assessing routines, social media exposure, deliveries and keyholding arrangements

• Electronic and smart device review – basic checks of exposed smart locks, cameras or devices that may reveal access points

• Practical remediation advice – a clear, prioritised action plan of physical and procedural improvements

All testing is conducted with your consent and within the bounds of the law.

Local Police Response & Risk Profiling

A secure home assessment must consider the local protective environment. We analyse police response capability and local risk factors to ensure recommendations match the real threat level you face. Our police response and risk profiling includes:

• Police response times — using local force information and lived experience of policing in the area we assess typical response times and likely prioritisation for emergency and non-emergency calls.

• Policing area and resources — we review the geographic policing boundaries, nearby stations, local patrol patterns and any known resourcing issues that could influence response.

• Local crime profile — we consider prevalent crime types in your locality — for example dwelling burglaries, vehicle theft, or targeted scams — to contextualise vulnerability.

• Client-specific risk factors — we assess whether your circumstances increase risk, such as high net worth, visible assets (vehicles, collections), public profile or recent threats.

• Asset mapping — we identify high-value items and vehicles that may attract targeted criminals and advise on protective measures and secure storage.

This additional analysis means we can provide a complete and in depth security review and provide security recommendations that match your specific circumstances.

How It Works

1. Confidential Consultation – We discuss your security concerns, property details and any known incidents.

2. Scope & Consent – We agree a clear scope of testing and obtain written consent from the property owner.

3. Test & Assess – Our operatives carry out controlled physical tests, observational assessments and the local policing risk review.

4. Report & Recommendations – You receive a clear report with findings, photographic evidence where relevant, the police response assessment and practical remediation advice.

5. Optional Follow-up – We can re-test after improvements to confirm effectiveness and advise on ongoing security monitoring.
