Understanding Bug Sweeps and TSCM Services
A professional bug sweep (Technical Surveillance Countermeasures) is a systematic process to detect, identify, and neutralise electronic surveillance threats. These devices range from simple audio recorders to sophisticated wireless cameras and GPS tracking systems designed to compromise your privacy, steal your secrets, or monitor your movements.
The psychology of surveillance deployment matters. Our Canning Town-based bug sweeping experts understand how, where, and why surveillance operators plant devices. We locate threats that amateur sweeps and basic equipment miss. Through meticulous physical searches combined with electronic detection using state-of-the-art technology, we identify every surveillance device threatening your security.
