The Watergate scandal is an unforgettable example of a threats we still face today known as “
technical surveillance", commonly called “
bugging”. With today’s sophisticated
technical surveillance equipment your communications could easily be compromised without your knowledge or awareness.
Corporate espionage in the global marketplace is a very real threat which is constantly increasing. It may be as simple as stalking or intrusions into your private affairs, or as serious as kidnapping and extortion. Recently, cases of computer identity theft and altered computer records have been perpetrated by criminals who gained access to telephone data lines using
electronic bugs.
ICS can help protect you from illegal or malicious
eavesdropping. Our
TSCM Sweep Team will conduct a thorough physical and electronic search of your home and property, including a security assessment to identify potential problems or actual breaches in every aspect of physical and information security.
Utilizing the most advanced equipment available, our
TSCM Sweep Team’s “acoustic leakage detection” can discover the complete range of devices from inexpensive “baby monitors” and wireless microphones to the most sophisticated electronic surveillance devices and audio/video transmitters, including illegal eavesdropping transmitters that may be in a "non-operating" mode.
An effective method of locating and identifying possible Covert Surveillance Devices (
bugs) and/or technical security weaknesses, TSCM includes both electronic and physical inspection of items such as briefcases, cell phones, automobiles, aircraft, watercraft, as well as home and office. A complete
TSCM Inspection will assess weaknesses of all locks, alarms, and various security systems, and will also identify and eliminate all devices that may pose a possible security breach in client operations and could compromise sensitive personal and/or business secrets.
