TSCM Inspections or Technical Surveillance Countermeasures are undergoing a total reconstruction process as the technology used in electronic eavesdropping is evolving at a rapid pace, making invading someone’s privacy or intercepting their private communications easier than ever and much harder to detect. Electronic “bugs” or eavesdropping devices are now capable of recording your private conversations for years. In the past, audio and video devices needed bulky batteries, large microphones, memory storage or RF signals to communicate and store the intercepted data. Modern video and audio recording and eavesdropping devices are incredibly small and these high tech micro devices can be hidden almost anywhere and made to look like ordinary household and office items and can communicate through Bluetooth, WiFi or GSM signals and utilize cloud storage or high capacity micro SD. Plus the advantage or lithium ion micro batteries or being able to tap into existing electronics, unused wiring can provide nearly unlimited power supplies allowing devices to record for years instead of days! Because of the advancements in electronic eavesdropping, Technical Surveillance Countermeasures or TSCM procedures have had to become more advanced as well. There are no safe zones or areas immune to eavesdropping. Cellphones, landlines, computers, covert video and audio bugs and existing wiring can all be used to  effectively eavesdrop into vehicles, restaurants, hotels, residences, corporate apartments and offices. Anywhere that you may speak or act freely, in public or in private could be at risk.

Our Technical Surveillance Countermeasures experience has shown that most espionage or eavesdropping revolves around one of three primary motives; Revenge, Money or Obsession.

Revenge: Revenge is extremely common in divorce cases, politicians, business deals or partnerships gone bad, disgruntled employees, bad break ups and neighborhood disputes. Effectively any situation where someone is looking to ruin you by exposing or stealing your personal or business secrets.

Money: Financial motivations are probably the most common, trade secrets, intellectual property, insider trading, corporate intelligence, identity theft or even in divorce cases over child custody or alimony. Any situation where the intelligence or evidence illegally gathered from you can lead to a financial gain.

Obsession: This is mostly common is stalking, harassment and cyber bullying cases. Some originate from breakups, some from divorces and some come from a person suffering from a dangerous metal illness that for some reason has decided to specify you or a loved one as the target of their obsession.

Regardless of the method or the reason, high tech surveillance, hacking, electronic eavesdropping can only be identified and stopped through sophisticated Technical Surveillance Countermeasures procedures.
