TSCM Bug Sweeps & Counter-Surveillance
Bug Sweeps & Counter-Surveillance for Homes, Offices and Vehicles
Privacy is under constant threat. Hidden microphones, cameras, wireless bugs and tracking devices are smaller, cheaper, and easier to deploy than ever — often by people with motive and opportunity.
For executives, high-net-worth individuals, legal teams, and organisations, the stakes are even higher. Whether it’s sensitive negotiations, board meetings, or personal conversations at home or on the move, a single compromised environment can expose strategy, relationships, and trust.
CDEC’s Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) service — often called a “technical sweep” or “bug sweep” — is designed to detect, locate, and eliminate these threats, restoring full confidence in the privacy of your space.
Our TSCM operations frequently complement Physical Penetration Testing, Digital Forensics & Data Recovery, and High-Risk Client Protection programmes, creating a seamless digital-to-physical privacy defence.
What Happens On Site
We operate quietly, discreetly and professionally, ensuring minimal disruption and absolute confidentiality.
A typical TSCM sweep includes:
Initial walkthrough with you or a designated contact to identify sensitive areas and potential threat vectors.
Physical inspection of rooms, offices, vehicles, and fixtures for hidden or tampered devices.
Advanced RF scanning to detect active transmitters, wireless cameras, Bluetooth or GSM bugs, and GPS trackers.
Infrared and thermal imaging to reveal concealed electronic components or powered devices.
Wi-Fi and network sweeps to identify unauthorised connections or compromised access points.
Verbal debrief immediately post-sweep, with optional written reporting and evidence pack if required.
Where threats are confirmed, we can coordinate follow-on support with our Cyber Security Advisory or Digital Forensics & Data Recovery teams to assess impact and recover digital traces.
