Protect your business from Corporate Espionage With TSCM

Corporate Espionage: Real Threats and How TSCM Protects Your Business

Corporate espionage might seem like something out of a movie, but it’s a very real threat that can cost corporations big money. Corporate espionage means illegally spying on competitors to gain a business edge. Competitors can tap into your private conversations to steal trade secrets and other sensitive information. This leaves your business vulnerable and at risk of losing money.

The good news: Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) can protect your company from corporate espionage. If your company holds sensitive information that would cause financial damage if a competitor discovered it, you’re at risk. Able Legal Investigations offers the following TSCM strategies to protect your corporation.

Electromagnetic Spectrum Sweep

Able Legal Investigations performs an electromagnetic spectrum sweep to detect hidden cameras, audio equipment, and other spy devices. This process isolates free-space transmissions and reveals attempts at corporate espionage. The sweep also activates existing devices, such as voice-actuated transmitters, and signals your private investigator when a device is on the scene.

Competitors also attempt corporate espionage by tapping telephone lines. Able Legal Investigations detects this using a balanced audio coupler telephone analyzer, which tests for abnormal line voltages that indicate tampering.

Why TSCM Works So Well Against Corporate Espionage

TSCM uses sophisticated technology to detect unwanted devices. Basic detection tools often miss devices that operate remotely or power down when not in use. TSCM, however, catches these devices even when they’re switched off. Able Legal Investigations uses a Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD) to find electronic devices hidden in unexpected places around your office.

TSCM also relies on heat technology. Thermal imaging scans reveal the power supplies of undetected electronic devices, pointing investigators straight to hidden equipment.

Staying Ahead of Corporate Espionage With Regular Sweeps

A clean sweep only tells you your office was clear at that exact moment. If your business faces ongoing risk, consider scheduling regular sweeps to keep your office secure. TSCM detects devices effectively, but only within the timeframe of the sweep itself. Someone could install new devices after a sweep, and you won’t detect them until you sweep again.
