TSCM (bug sweeping)

Assaults to exfiltrate corporate and personal data are not limited to internet-based hacking. Our TSCM Specialists (Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures) perform a comprehensive on-site assessment to identify unauthorized tapping devices and hidden cameras. We utilize military grade detection tools and strategies in finding any type of bug, tap, hidden camera, or unauthorized devices such as clandestine WiFi access points and other transmitters often concealed by operating out-of-band.

    While performing the TSCM assessment we perform the minimum following tests :

    • A spectrum sweep of all analog and digital RF signals in and out of standard band frequency ranges. The RF sweep is conducted from 10KHz through the 26GHz spectrum frequency ranges. This allows us to detect and locate any RF emitting bug device that may be present.
    • Evaluate all RF sources including WiFi for legitimacy validation or otherwise for detection of clandestine emitters.
    • Hidden camera detection by high flash-rate reflected light to identify the presence of concealed cameras/lenses.
    • Detection of Laser tapping, which originated with international espionage, and now readily available to the private sector. Laser tapping utilizes a laser beam that is bounced off windows thus modulated by the sound vibrations that are then captured and demodulated from an off-site listening nest.
    • Wireline tap detection using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) which detects wire tap connections placed for listening in on  voice, data, and other signals such as video for clandestine monitoring. This includes the investigation of all wiring circuits including computer network, voice, fax, and power line conduction techniques.
