Product description

During a technical surveillance countermeasure inspection, premises and equipment are searched both physically and with technical equipment. This is commonly known as a "sweep" after eavesdropping equipment or "bugs". The purpose is to detect and handle illegal eavesdropping and industrial espionage.

React Risk Advisory conducts complete and systematic technical security countermeasure investigations of boardrooms, offices, vehicles or private homes to identify and manage illegal eavesdropping and industrial espionage.

A technical surveillance countermeasure inspection mainly consists of five parts

  • Sweeping of the area with spectrum analyzer and other technical equipment
  • Manual examination with non-linear junction detector, looking for active, passive and switched off listening devices
  • Manual examination with thermal imaging camera and embedded listening devices
  • Physical and visual inspection
  • Directed search with and without sound

Upon completion of the project, a report is always submitted with our remarks and suggestions for improvement measures.

There are several reasons to conduct a technical surveillance countermeasure inspection

  • Information about staff, customers, trade secrets, plans and strategies, decision-making processes or innovations are organizations' most valuable assets. Loss of such information may affect competitiveness, stock price or brand.
  • Equipment for eavesdropping and espionage has become increasingly available and the cost is low.
  • A study by the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise from 2020 showed that more than half of Stockholm's largest listed companies have been exposed to industrial espionage. The threat is expected to continue to grow.

A technical surveillance countermeasure inspection should be carried out

  • When the level of security risk is high.
  • Suspicious activity in sensitive areas.
  • If you need to secure business-sensitive information.
  • Before board meetings or other important meetings.
