Professional Bug Sweep & Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM)
PI Specialists, LLC provides professional Bug Sweep and Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) services to identify and mitigate unauthorized electronic surveillance in residential, commercial and mobile environments.
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures, commonly known as a bug sweep is a systematic investigative process used to detect hidden cameras, covert listening devices, GPS trackers and other electronic eavesdropping threats. These services originated in government and intelligence operations and require specialized equipment, experience and disciplined methodology.
Clients contact PI Specialists, LLC when they need to determine whether their home, office, boardroom, vehicle, aircraft, hotel room or temporary location has been compromised or when privacy, confidentiality and security are critical.
Comprehensive TSCM Bug Sweep Methodology
Every professional bug sweep begins with a threat and environment assessment. This allows our investigators to tailor the scope, tools and personnel required for the inspection based on the client’s concerns, location size and risk profile.
Our TSCM services combine advanced electronic detection, thermal analysis and exhaustive physical inspection to identify both active and inactive surveillance devices.
