Technical Surveillance Counter Measures
Technical surveillance counter measures (also called TSCM) is the art and science of locating potential
surveillance
threats, such as
phone recorders,
hidden video cameras,
concealed microphones and so called electronic “bugs” of all types…
What is Counter Surveillance?
TSCM is a very sophisticated sector of
private security
and
professional investigation.
It is used to prevent a person or organization from falling victim to advanced electronic competitive intelligence gathering methods, common during spying or litigation. Electronic surveillance seeks to gather information using manned monitoring or recording of audio and video signals. TSCM tries to seek out potential sources of audio and video
eavesdropping
and eliminate them as threats.
Reasons for TSCM
Counter surveillance techniques can be used for many applications:* Governmental TSCM protects local and national security, defense secrets, sensitive blueprints, data and intellectual property. * Business TSCM protects proprietary technologies,
intellectual property
and trade secrets. * Personal TSCM protects a person’s right to privacy and prevents intelligence from being used against them in a
criminal investigation,
civil investigation
or litigation. TSCM is performed using high tech devices which can readily locate the telltale evidence of most surveillance devices. For more information about the exact techniques used in TSCM, please read my page titled

Technical Surveillance Counter Measures Advice
TSCM is an advanced science of sights and sounds. Experts in bug detection are extremely valuable to anyone or any organization which feels like they are being watched or recorded. Surveillance can be a complicated legal issue and many forms of commonly utilized spying are illegal. However, without proof of a crime, it is impossible to prosecute… TSCM measures are designed to eliminate intelligence gathering threats and may even trace back to the offending party enacting the spying methods. For detailed information about hiring a TSCM expert to bug sweep your home, office or business, contact a qualified
private investigator
or
security consultant.
Additionally, many simple and low cost counter surveillance devices can be purchased for individual use at
spy gear
stores or
private investigation equipment
providers.
