Government and Defence Technical Surveillance Counter Measures

NSI Global has provided technical surveillance counter measures sweeps, counterespionage and countersurveillance consulting for over two decades. From our Canberra office in Barton, our specialists provide technical surveillance countermeasures sweeps and counter-espionage risk assessments of all types of premises, including offices, boardrooms, entire facilities and vehicles.

We work with defence facilities, government departments, federal, state and local government offices, parliamentary offices, members of parliament and local councils. NSI Global’s TSCM Unit works to the standards required for government and defence environments, using ITAR export-controlled detection equipment restricted from commercial sale. Accreditations relevant to government and defence engagements are provided to vetted clients under NDA.

NSI Global recognises the significantly increased target profile of Government and Defence resources. Our methodology for Government TSCM and Espionage Risk Assessments reflects this elevated requirement.

What a Government Engagement Covers

Government and defence inspections cover offices, ministerial and parliamentary suites, meeting and briefing rooms, secure areas, vehicles and the communications infrastructure that serves them. Each engagement begins with a threat assessment so the scope reflects the realistic adversary — including state-sponsored collection — rather than a standard checklist.

Findings are reported in writing, setting out what was examined, what was found and the limits of the inspection, with recommendations to close each vulnerability identified. Where an agency requires it, findings can be prepared to an evidentiary standard.

For facilities that need assurance between inspections, we provide live meeting monitoring and continuous remote RF monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with Commonwealth, state and local government?

Yes. We work with defence facilities, federal, state and local government offices, parliamentary offices, members of parliament and local councils.

What accreditations do you hold for government work?

Accreditations relevant to government and defence engagements are provided to vetted clients under NDA.

Can you inspect secure areas and briefing rooms?

Yes. Inspections cover offices, meeting and briefing rooms, secure areas, vehicles and the communications infrastructure that serves them.

Can you provide protection during a sensitive meeting, not just before it?

Yes. Live TSCM meeting monitoring provides real-time RF spectrum monitoring during the meeting itself, following an initial sweep of the venue.

TSCM Backed by Intelligence and ITAR Equipment

Our TSCM Unit, led by founder Navid Sobbi, uses ITAR export-controlled detection equipment — restricted from commercial sale — to find devices that off-the-shelf sweeps miss, across Australia and internationally. If you suspect your premises or vehicle has been compromised, contact us — but call from a safe location, away from the area of concern. Confidential consultations can be held at our radio-shielded office in Parramatta, or by client-approved video meeting.

Please note: NSI Global will not provide services to any individual or entity that is the subject of any law enforcement investigation.
