Defend Against Electronic Espionage

For over 20 years, NSI Global has safeguarded organisations and individuals from illicit surveillance. Our TSCM specialists detect and mitigate covert threats, ensuring that sensitive conversations and environments remain private and secure.

Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) are specialised services designed to detect and neutralise electronic eavesdropping threats such as hidden “bugs,” wiretaps, or covert surveillance devices. It also identifies technical security weaknesses that could aid in the conduct of a technical penetration of the surveyed premises.

In an age where illegal surveillance is increasingly accessible and employed – by everyone from unscrupulous competitors and criminals to stalkers and state-sponsored spies – no individual or industry is immune to the threat.

NSI Global provides a full range of TSCM services (also known as bug sweeps, electronic bug detection, or debugging) to ensure your confidential information and trade secrets are not compromised. A professional TSCM sweep will not only detect hidden surveillance devices but also identify technical security weaknesses in your premises that could be exploited.

By taking action with NSI’s TSCM team, organisations can prevent the financial losses and reputational damage that result from corporate espionage or privacy breaches.

When should you consider a TSCM sweep?

If you’re noticing suspicious incidents or have specific concerns, it’s time to act. Some common scenarios that prompt our clients to engage NSI Global’s TSCM services include:

Suspicious Awareness

An ex-partner or business rival seems unreasonably aware of private conversations that took place in your home or office. This raises concerns that your space or phone lines may be bugged.

Unexplained Leaks

You discussed a sensitive strategy or held a confidential meeting, and soon after a competitor somehow knew the details or countered your plans. Such incidents strongly suggest someone is listening who shouldn’t be.

Security-Cleared Protection Needed

You handle highly classified or sensitive information (e.g. government or defence projects) and require a security-cleared TSCM provider to sweep for state-sponsored espionage devices. NSI’s team is vetted by the Department of Defence and adheres to the elevated standards required by government clients.

Mobile Offices

Your critical business discussions happen in places like cars, yachts, or private jets – environments that could be targeted for planting trackers or listening devices. We offer specialised sweeps for vehicles and vessels to secure these mobile offices from surveillance

Another company gave you the all clear but breaches are still occurring.

Decades At The Forefront Of Counterintelligence

If any of the above resonates, NSI Global’s TSCM experts can help you take back control of your privacy. Our team has been at the forefront of counterintelligence for decades, with unmatched experience in counter-surveillance and espionage detection.
