Professional, Discreet Bug Sweep Services
You don't need to hire a full-time professional counter surveillance bug sweeper, but you should adhere to data security best practises in all facets of your company.

This opens the door for someone to copy these documents or for these gadgets, containing critical data, to become 'lost.' Who knows what will happen to it? You need to look outside the box when it comes to security.
Metal detectors and anti-virus software aren't enough. Because if someone is attempting to bug your offices, you can bet they will think outside the box.

Our Technical Surveillance Countermeasures approach
In general our counter surveillance specialist will conduct a two part search; looking for Hardwire, Radio Frequency, and laser / Infrared bugs. The two part search will consist firstly of a physical search, where we will inspect electronic equipment and suspect areas for known devices and then for the second part we will carry out an electronic RF spectrum and audio search using our counter surveillance equipment.
Our Private Investigators will search all possible areas including telephones and phone lines both inside and outside the property.
Our Private Investigators have the bug sweeping and detection equipment and experience to
Ā carry out complete counter surveillance sweeps in the following locations.
Home, Office, Factory, Vehicle (car and van), Micro devices fitted in clothing,
Electronic equipment such as phones, laptops, computers, radios, televisions, clocks, lamps etc.
Radio Frequency (RF), (Spectrum & audio search).
RF transmitters send wireless signals through the air. A FM / AM / Microwave counter surveillance scanner device can then intercept these signals.
With today’s technology, local spy stores and the internet are selling RF transmitters for less than a hundred pounds. This is making it increasingly easy for “interested parties” to place a device in a room and listen to meetings, important company decisions, or discussions about new products or services. A common place is in the personnel department where details of other employees can be learnt.
Ā
These types of listening devices operate through a window or similar opening. An operative could easily setup the equipment via tripod connected to a transmitter and intercept your communication from miles away. A laser or infrared beam is shot into the room from any distance of up to many miles away. The audio in that room is picked up by the laser beam and transferred into data that is then sent over the light or infrared beam back to the sender. The sender normally has a recorder connected to the equipment and can record the conversation.
Discreet TSCM Bug Sweeping Specialists
What can you expect if you hire a company to conduct TSCM sweeps and surveys for you? Obviously, bug sweeps are an important component of that. However, hiring a TSCM firm with the intention of establishing them a regular presence in your company is a good idea. Periodic checks can aid in the maintenance of security. Additionally, a comprehensive methodology like TSCM can help you spot threats before they occur.Ā
Sweeps can be overly reactive, but they can educate companies about the significance of regular security checks and assessments. You obtain the benefit of a firm’s knowledge and recommendations when you hire a company that specialises in TSCM service. The world is always changing and evolving, thanks to technological advancements.
Your employees must also be aware of any new hazards. Hiring a firm that researches these new hazards can also have the unintended consequence of alerting your employees about the latest technical threats they should be aware of in the workplace. There’s also the issue of meeting security to consider. It’s a good idea to set aside secure areas where confidential discussions about thoughts, plans, and intellectual property can be held with only those who need to know. Limiting these meetings to a specific location and a specific group of people, as well as keeping meticulous notes of the discussions, can aid in identifying the source of any leaks. Either there is someone or there is something in the room.
