Technical surveillance counter-measures (TSCM) – bug sweep

Nowadays eavesdropping devices can be minified to size of a thumbnail. These devices are sometimes referred as ‘bug’. Bug sweep is important as these eavesdropping would provide your competitors or enemies with confidential, private information that can cause serious damage. Damage might not be on monteary sense but also bring physical risk to your love one. There were reports finding most kidnapped criminals did serious surveillance and eavesdropping before execution of the kidnap. Sweeping for bugs can be difficult if you are not an expert in counter-surveillance techniques.

You think any self-alleging TSCM specialist is the same? Bug sweep is a subspecialty.

Check if their bug sweep operations cover:-

•    Detect and locate transmitting devices. AKA bug sweep core

•    Checks environment for hidden phone or room bugs; video transmitters; pulsed tracking transmitters; remote control, frequency-hopping, spread-spectrum and burst devices up to 3GHz.

•    Detect bugs that use AC wiring (or other miscellaneous wiring like telephone, burglar alarm, thermostat wiring et.) as a transmission path.

•    Detect Broadband microwave energy between 2GHz and 12 GHz, including frequencies used for wireless networks and many cordless phones.

•    Detect and isolate ‘treat’ transmissions from legitimate broadcast transmissions.

•    Detect infrared transmissions.

•    Detect carrier current devices, tape recorders and video cameras.

•    Conduct tests on each pair of conductors in telephone and network cables or carrier current or audio transmissions.

•    Conduct checks on any kind of wiring (not just wall outlets) for carrier current devices.

•    Detect and evaluate area vulnerable to acoustic leakage.

•    Detect suspicious equipment that has an acoustic noise masking system.
