TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE COUNTER-MEASURES

A growing risk due to technological advancements, Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (technical bug sweeps) is a process which protects against a serious concern for those with valuable or proprietary information or other at-risk individuals who need to protect their private information.
TSCM is a systematic process to investigate an office, corporate  area, residence or a building for various audio and/or video devices that could be used to intercept information through technical means. Basically, TSCM is a ‘bug sweep’ – a sweep or check of an area primarily looking for electronic devices which listen or look where they shouldn’t be listening or looking.
