Technical Surveillance Countermeasures
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures or TSCM is a counterintelligence
activity and refers to the countermeasures that are employed to detect
or to defeat attempts to gain any information through the use of a
variety of eavesdropping and other listening and transmitting devices.
Companies spend millions on firewalls, access control and other
security barriers, but few invest in counterintelligence awareness
training for their staff. The best security systems will be useless if
personnel are ignorant about the tactics and modus operandi employed to
steal business secrets.
We assist companies with awareness training and seminars to install a
culture and positive attitude regarding the protection of information.
Suspicious signs that could indicate possible eavesdropping:-
- Your confidential business or trade secrets are known by competitors
- Your activities are known when they shouldn't be
- Your secret meetings and bids seem to be not so secret
- You hear strange sounds coming from phone's handset when it is hung up
- Your phone often rings and nobody responds or strange noise tones is heard
- Your radio or TV suddenly develops strange interference
- You have been the victim of a burglary but nothing was taken
- You notice wall or ceiling dust on the floor
- Your employees receiving unexpected gifts from strangers operating on a power source
Our surveys are conducted using meticulous procedures and equipment
suitable for the level of the threat that needs to be addressed.
We survey the offices, boardrooms and homes of executives and other
personnel where sensitive discussions are often held. Trained staff
performs the surveys with professional equipment.
