Hi Elizabeth,

The OSSTMM (osstmm.org) is a methodology for doing the kinds of tests 
you are talking about whether they are physical, wireless, social 
engineering, or over networks.  Also, more and more colleges and 
universities are using the ISECOM certifications to give practical 
security know-how as well as an indicator of their efficiency and 
accuracy. Of the certifications, Security Tester and Security Analyst 
may fit what you are looking for. You can get details at www.isecom.org.

Sincerely,
-pete.
