TSCM · Technical surveillance countermeasures
TSCM process and sample report
Knowing in advance what to expect from a sweep builds trust. We show the process and what the report looks like.
Preparing for the sweep
Before the sweep, room access, working hours and the list of devices to be swept are clarified with the authorised person. During the sweep the room should be empty and quiet; phones, radios and Wi-Fi devices are managed under the team's direction.

How we work
Confidential initial call
We talk on a secure channel away from the space and devices you suspect. We listen to what, where and why you suspect, and define the scope.
Appointment and security
The sweep date is discussed only with the people who need to know and away from the space to be swept. No sensitive talk takes place in the space beforehand.
Physical inspection
The space and its items are inspected visually: sockets, ceiling, lighting, electronics, furniture and newly added objects.
Technical sweep
Devices are searched for with RF spectrum analysis, NLJD, thermal imaging, optical lens detection and line/network analysis.
Findings and evidence preservation
If a suspect device is found it is not moved; it is photographed and its position and technical measurements recorded. The next step is decided with you and your lawyer.
Report and recommendations
Method, equipment, findings, risks and corrective recommendations are delivered as a written report.
