TSCM sweep

Prevent business damage with a TSCM sweep.

TSCM stands for Technical Surveillance Countermeasures and covers the physical and technical inspection of buildings and equipment. A professional team will sweep your premises for unwanted recording devices: transmitters, spy cameras, GPS trackers, hidden microphones and more.

Choose the right firm

Expertise & clearance.

Senior management and your security officer should take careful note of the in-depth knowledge and expertise of the TSCM professionals. You must be able to discuss every security concern openly so the correct threat level can be determined.

Outsourcing TSCM services carries risk — your company's privacy and continuity may be compromised. If your security officer lacks in-house TSCM knowledge, you should engage a professional TSCM sweep firm, ideally one with a national 'secret' security clearance.

What gets inspected?

We locate devices that record or transmit conversations or images.

Offices

Boardrooms, offices and rooms of executives and directors should be the first priority for a TSCM sweep.

Secretariat

The work areas of personal assistants, secretaries and direct executives of board members.

Common areas

Restrooms, elevators, the coffee corner and other public spaces — where sensitive conversations often take place.

Electronics

A qualified electrical technician inspects all connections, wiring, lighting and electronic devices.

Telephone exchange

Telephone systems can quickly be converted into listening systems. Only specialists can detect this.

Computers

Computers are often turned into listening devices. Detection should be performed by an IT expert.

How and when to sweep?

Tailored to your building.

A TSCM sweep is performed in line with the topography of the building. The inspection should not take place only at night, after everyone has left, but ideally during the day as well.
