TSCM for Businesses and Stores

There are many reasons and risk areas that should concern you as a business owner. You should not only worry about a competitor learning insider secrets about your operations but also about employees with hidden agendas, voyeurs placing cameras in restrooms, and anyone who might want to harm your brand.

Especially large and medium-sized companies are regularly targeted or have already fallen victim to industrial espionage.

It doesn’t matter how big or small your business may be, you risk being taken out of business if valuable information is obtained by one of your competitors.

Imagine a competitor listens in and learns, for example, the following:

• Your current projects
• Future project details
• Your pricing plan
• Your customer list
• Confidential meetings with clients or customers
• Executive schedules
• Trade secrets

If your competitor learns any of the above items, it could drastically impact your business and success. It is not uncommon for a competitor to place a mole within your company who could easily install a covert audio or video device to monitor your activities!

Conference Rooms

Do you, as most companies do, hold your most frequent and important meetings in your conference rooms? Can you guarantee that there is no hidden microphone, audio recorder, or camera in your conference room? No matter how optimistic you may be, unless you’ve recently conducted a professional counter-surveillance check, you really can’t make that guarantee. Fortunately, one of our experts can determine whether such items are present in your conference room. Have your conference room checked by our technicians before your next important meeting.

Employees and Management

Employees and members of management are often the target of audio and video surveillance devices, either by their employer, a malicious employee, or a competitor. The only way you would ever find out if this is happening is by having your office or work area physically and electronically checked by a trained counter-surveillance technician using advanced and expensive scanning equipment.

Public Restrooms

A quick search on the internet for the term “hidden camera found in restroom” reveals a staggering number of news articles where a hidden video camera has been found in a public restroom of a business. You simply cannot risk the negative publicity that comes from someone finding a hidden camera in one of your location’s restrooms. A regular check of your restrooms can make a big difference and help avoid a financially devastating incident.

What Types of Listening Devices Do We Detect?

Our counter-surveillance specialists detect the following types of electronic surveillance devices:

• Audio or optical surveillance devices
• GSM, LTE, 3G, 4G and 5G mobile phone surveillance devices
• Wireless surveillance systems
• Wired and microphone surveillance devices
• Telephone surveillance devices
• Micro radio video devices
• Laser or infrared surveillance devices
• GPS trackers on vehicles
• Mobile phone spyware / malware

Since a listening attack often relies on modern communication media such as mobile phones or computers, our detective agency employs specially trained investigators with high technological competence and sophisticated technical equipment—from high-frequency measurements to thermography—to ensure thorough detection of spaces and the effective removal of any detected surveillance technology.

The cost of these professionally conducted measures is generally far lower than the damage that would arise from the surveillance attack itself, or could still arise. Our focus is clearly on removing the surveillance technology before it can negatively impact your business.

Even if no evidence of a listening attack is found, investing in a thorough check is worthwhile. After completing their investigations, our agency can provide precise information about the security of the spaces and communication media in question. After comprehensive consultation, our counter-surveillance specialists develop customized defense systems that not only offer effective protection against espionage attacks but also help to reassure the client.
