Our Counter Surveillance Expertise

TSCM, also known as bug sweeping or counter surveillance, is the process of electronically and physically inspecting offices, buildings, vehicles, telephone systems and cabling for the presence of eavesdropping devices.

Our TSCM sweeps use the most up to date equipment available globally, and methods and techniques perfected through years of experience within counter surveillance. We can either inspect business and associated premises as part of a reactive inspection after an information loss or incident, or as part of a scheduled program of bug sweeping inspections designed to enhance the security of business meetings and confidential information.

Our state-of-the-art electronic TSCM search equipment will detect the presence of both active and passive bugging devices, promiscuous monitors and keystroke logging mechanisms. We continuously review new developments to upgrade all counter surveillance equipment used.

In addition, computers and word-processors can be examined for possible sources of data leaks and intrusive surveillance software. We provide this option as part of a TSCM inspection or as a separate service.

Our Counter Surveillance Service

After initial contact QCC Interscan will carry out a risk assessment via a covert site visit or telephone conference, including a review floor plans. We produce a detailed written proposal outlining your requirements, our service and pricing.

If commissioned, we handle all arrangements, cover stories and procedures for allowing the operation to commence with the minimum of disruption and input to the client. Our experience in organising TSCM operations spans hundreds of inspections in the UK and globally.

TSCM inspection

The inspection will be carried out covertly and professionally, and is normally out of standard office hours (over night or at the weekend). We will ensure an appropriate cover story is in place and supported by documentation. In addition to the TSCM inspection, QCC Interscan will also carry out a physical security review of your target areas, focusing on all aspects of the security of the site.

Unlike our competitors this service is performed as part of our standard TSCM inspection and our clients have found it invaluable in helping to enhance the overall security of the information and assets on site.

After the inspection we produce a comprehensive written report outlining all the work carried out during the inspection. This report also details the physical security review undertaken and makes recommendations on the physical, procedural and logical steps required to further secure your business interests.

Security of Global Locations

The challenges for travelling company executives often require the use of home or satellite offices in various countries to conduct important business. A dedicated technical attack will often seek to exploit reduced levels of security at these satellite areas to gain important information. A comprehensive TSCM service should also include any such global locations. We pride ourselves on being professional spy cam and audio surveillance detectors, able to travel anywhere in the world to help you protect your assets.

Your Long Term Security

As a valued client, QCC Interscan will keep you informed of developments in surveillance and emerging threats that may affect your business after the TSCM bug sweeping operation.

To ensure ongoing security, most corporate clients schedule regular inspections, normally 6 monthly, or during times of particularly sensitive business activity.
