If you suspect a breach

Suspect a breach? Here's what to do.

Baseline principles to secure your facility before taking any defensive action.

01.

Move the conversation

Keep sensitive discussions away from the room, vehicle or device that concerns you.

02.

Leave everything in place

Avoid touching, moving or removing anything that may be relevant until advice has been obtained.

03.

Speak to a specialist

Contact us from a trusted mobile device in a safe off-site location.

When to consider

When to consider a TSCM survey.

Clients typically reach out after identifying operational anomalies that compromise security. You might recognize one of these scenarios.

While these patterns do not guarantee an active threat, they make a professional assessment a smart precaution. Our TSCM services can help you exploit the risk.

01.
Confidential plans, negotiations or business decisions become known outside the organisation.​
02.
Need-to-know information starts spreading internally without an obvious explanation.​
03.
Something about your movements no longer feels private, and you suspect you may be under surveillance.​
04.
An employee discovers an unknown hardware device or flags unfamiliar wireless signals on the network.​

Survey methodology

Phone
Telephone and network analysis

Checking analogue, digital and VoIP telephone systems for modifications, taps or vulnerabilities.

Avoidable errors

Common mistakes to avoid.

What we see most often when organisations try to handle suspected surveillance internally – often compromising evidence and alerting the adversary.

Mistake 01

Assuming a one-size-fits-all solution works for every environment.

Corporate boardrooms, government buildings and private residences all present different risks. Each needs its own approach.

Environment-specific risk

Mistake 02

Relying on a single handheld "bug detector".

Most consumer-grade tools miss modern digital and passive devices.

equipment limitation

Mistake 03

Discussing it on a compromised network.

If your environment is compromised, using its phones, devices or WiFi tells the adversary you know.

Operational security

Mistake 04

Removing a suspicious device yourself.

You can destroy the evidence - and, in rare cases, put yourself at risk. Leave it in place and contact a specialist.

Evidence loss

Mistake 05

Delaying because you're not sure what you're looking for.

Waiting rarely makes the problem smaller. A short, scoped conversation with a specialist costs nothing — and clarifies whether action is needed.

Time-sensitive

Specialist situations

The difference a professional services makes.

We often work with organisations whose needs sit outside a standard sweep. If your situation doesn’t fit a checklist, we’re used to working in conditions where the question isn’t “is there a device?” but “how is the information getting out?”

Frame 5

Frame 3
Mergers, acquisitions & high-stakes negotiations

Ensuring deal terms are not intercepted before, during or after sensitive discussions.

Frame 4
Industrial and corporate espionage

Frame 2
Individual protection

Protecting your privacy, personal conversations, home, vehicle and family where there are concerns about surveillance or unwanted monitoring.

If you are not sure

Sometimes the worry is vague: a sense that something is off, but no hard facts.

We can help you decide whether a full TSCM survey is necessary, or whether a limited review of a specific room, phone line or network is a better first step. You don’t need to know the technical name for what you are experiencing. You only need to tell us what you’ve noticed – we’ll ask the right questions.

Immediate response

If something seems wrong right now.

If you currently suspect your organisation is under active technical surveillance, follow these steps before doing anything else. We’ll help you contain the risk first – the formal survey can follow.

Move away
