Why Bug Sweeps Aren’t Paranoid — They’re Practical
When people hear “bug sweep”, they imagine espionage films or political scandals. In reality, it’s far more ordinary – and far more common.
The Modern Listening Threat
Every year, we uncover covert devices in boardrooms, hotel suites, and private residences across the UK.
They’re not always planted by spies – sometimes it’s a competitor, a disgruntled insider, or an opportunist with a £50 device bought online. What’s changed is accessibility: surveillance hardware is now smaller, cheaper, and wireless.
Why ‘It Couldn’t Happen Here’ Is the Real Risk
We hear this often. But confidentiality breaches rarely start with Hollywood plots; they start with complacency. A misplaced conference phone, a modified USB charger, an unverified cleaner – each is a simple doorway to data loss.
TSCM Sweeps – Preventive, Not Paranoid
A professional Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) inspection is the equivalent of an annual service for your security posture. It checks what your firewalls can’t: the physical space. Our specialists use spectrum analysis, thermal imaging, and physical search to detect unauthorised transmitters and hidden cameras.
