What is TSCM?

Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) is the correct name for what is commonly called bug sweeping or counter eavesdropping. A professional TSCM inspection is a structured search of a given room or area, car, aircraft, vessel or other space using both technical equipment and a physical search to detect and locate all forms of audio or video eavesdropping deployed in the target search area. TSCM inspections are very complicated to conduct properly and require a very high degree of specialist TSCM knowledge and specialist TSCM equipment. For anyone who is considering going on the internet to look to buy a “bug detector” to conduct your own bug sweep, our advice is don’t waste your money. There is no bug detector which can detect all of the different types of bugs as the bugs all use different technologies to work and therefore you need specific equipment to detect each type of attack. This is why if you employ QCC to conduct a TSCM inspection for you our team will have over £200k of equipment with them to conduct the TSCM inspection. In QCC’s experience, most bug detectors bought from the internet can’t detect any bugs at all despite their wild capability claims.

What is Bug Sweeping?

Bug sweeping is a commonly used term for Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures inspections, TSCM inspections or counter-eavesdropping inspections.

What is Cyber TSCM?

Cyber TSCM (Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures) is a structured search of a given area using both technical equipment and a physical search to detect and locate all forms of data eavesdropping devices deployed in the search area. Again Cyber TSCM inspections are very complex and require very specialist cyber TSCM knowledge and specialist cyber TSCM equipment. Again if you engage QCC to conduct a cyber TSCM inspection our cyber TSCM team will have over £200k of equipment with them to conduct the cyber TSCM inspection.

What is Digital Forensics?

Digital forensics is an evidentially sound process for the recovery, copying and analysis of any evidence from digital devices like computers, laptops, digital cameras, memory cards or any other form of digital media. Digital forensics is conducted under the strictest of controls / standards and any work has to stand up to cross-examination in court by an independent digital forensics expert witness under criminal justice standards. Digital forensics can often recover deleted information and is an incredibly valuable tool for the investigation of cyber incidents, criminal cases and civil cases.

What is Cyber Forensics?

Cyber forensics is a commonly used term for Digital forensics (previously described) or what was originally called computer forensics when the service was first conceived by John Austen in 1986 when he formed the first Computer Crime Unit (CCU) in the world at Scotland Yard.

What is Mobile Phone Forensics?

Mobile phone forensics is an evidentially sound process for the recovery, copying and analysis of any evidence from mobile phones and SIM cards. Mobile phone forensics as with digital forensics, is conducted under the most stringent of forensics processes and using forensic tools which are tested to produce evidence which will stand up to cross-examination in court by an independent mobile phone forensics expert witness and to criminal justice standards. Mobile phone forensics can often recover deleted information, phone locations and is a key tool for investigators of all manor cases.
