ADVICE WHEN LOOKING FOR A DEBUGGING SWEEP TEAM OR TSCM SERVICE:

Ensure the TSCM team you select is equipped for the challenge or your security will be compromised.

A proficient countermeasures operator will have invested considerable expense procuring the highly specialised equipment needed to detect the ever changing array of listening device.  There are countless private detectives offering spy bug detection services and numerous spy shops keen to sell their ‘black box bug detectors’ but realistically there are only a handful of professional TSCM teams in the UK each equipped within the region of £100,000 worth of dedicated search kit (outlined below)

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN CONTACTING A TSCM SWEEP TEAM

Below we have listed a few simple question you might ask any prospective service provider before entrusting them to carry out a sweep. Remember your privacy depends on the proficiency and professionalism of the group you select.

As a simple guideline only consider procuring the service of TSCM specialists that are equipped with a selection of the following systems. If they don’t have this equipment (and you should ask them directly) you are wasting your time.

QUESTION: What equipment do you use to locate bugs?

• What NLJD (non-linear junction detector) do you use?    Acceptable Answers: ORION, HAWK, LOCATOR, SUPER BROOM
  
• What system do you use to analyze digital phone lines and VOIP networks?      Acceptable Answers: TALAN
• What Countermeasure receiver do you employ?      Acceptable Answers: Raptor RXi, Oscor Green, Oscor 5000E, Scanlock ECM,

Note: This is by no means an exhaustive list of equipment, however the above systems are imperative. Again, if the team you are considering does not use them, you are speaking to the wrong people.

SPEAK WITH AN ADVISOR

For those wishing to know more about the equipment mentioned, the following advisory offers a simple introduction to key elements of a fully equipped countermeasures team.

TSCM PRIMARY EQUIPMENT CHECK LIST: Further detail

NON LINEAR JUNCTION DETECTOR (NLJD)

This is as key system when searching for hidden electronic bugs and transmitters. Market leaders in this field such as REI’s ‘ORION’ and WINKELMANNS’ ‘HAWK’ systems. both deliver bench mark performance. Both are supplied by IPS, with each costing in the region of £10,000-£11,000. Essentially they are designed to detect hidden or embedded electronic devices whether they are actively transmitting (powered on) or dormant (standby or powered off). Should you need to know more, the following offers a simple overview of what they do and why they are so important. Comparable Alternative NLJD systems include:

• LOCATOR
• AUDIOTEL BROOM

DEDICATED COUNTER SURVEILLANCE SPECTRUM ANALYSERS:

Leading the way in this area are the recently released OSCOR GREEN (pictured above) and WINKLEMAN ‘RAPTOR‘ systems. These 3rd generation, cutting edge TSCM solutions scan from 12.2kHz to 24GHz in less than one second analysing frequencies to detect rogue signals. These systems are imperative if a sweep service is to fully account for any and all possible threats. Slightly older but still valid there are a number of other systems that can also be considered:

• OSCOR 5000E
• RANGER
• SCANLOCK ECM
• SPECTRUM ECM
• SPECTRUM ANALYZER

DIGITAL MOBILE PHONE ANALYSER: Addressing digital phone tapping and VOIP vulnerabilities requires extremely specialized equipment. The TALAN system highlighted in this video below costs £14,000 and is our recommended solution.

GSM DETECTION & MOBILE INTERROGATION SYSTEMS:

As GSM bugging represents one of today’s biggest security threats, a proficient sweep team will posses the means to detect, analyse and locate GSM devices. Hand held detectors like the GSM DETEC 196 & GSM DETEC 300 offer a simple and relatively cheap solution but will only alert the user to the presence of a mobile (i.e they will not locate them). In addition a professional sweep team will be equipped with highly advanced GSM interrogation systems capable of detailed reporting. Securitysearch.co.uk is one of the few organisations to offer this level of security and service

If you have concerns that your private or business dealings may have been compromised by the placement of spy bug or listening device or would like to discuss any of your security concerns please Call +44 (0) 207 258 3771. As is the nature of the internet you may opt to contact a sweep team service other than SecuritySearch.com, If so, here is a simple check list of quick questions to ask. The answers you receive will reveal their level of preparedness and professionalism.

TSCM SECURITY SEARCH is a specialist technical counter surveillance service offering clients the benefit of industry leading technical know how from one of the worlds biggest suppliers of ECM (Electronic countermeasures) equipment, International Procurement Services

GOVERNMENT LEVEL SOLUTIONS

For more than twenty five years International Procurement Services Ltd have maintained a ‘sweep’ team of trained specialist engineers who are equipped with “state-of-the-art” electronic countermeasures equipment to detect all forms of transmitters, illicit intrusion and bugging devices. Most of our engineers are ex Special Forces with many years experience at countering such threats and are fully qualified to advise on all types of information security together with methods to combat electronic eavesdropping.

We also equip and train ‘in-house’ security teams for organisations wishing to carry out their own security. This is backed up with continuous technical support where necessary.

Whilst our services are available on a ‘one off’ basis, we also offer advantageous terms to clients wishing to enter into a fixed price agreement for periods up to three years. Under these circumstances we will carry out either two, three or four ‘random date’ sweeps per year whilst continuing to provide an on-going consultancy service for the period of the contract. Our consultancy service covers all aspects of high level security with particular emphasis on the electronic countermeasures and anti-terrorism fields.

Our clients include many Governments, Banks, Embassies and PLC’s etc., both in the U.K. and overseas, however strict confidentiality is part of our business and therefore we do not issue a client list under any circumstances.

This will involve a  full surveillance scan of key areas of your organisation resulting in detailed analysis and reporting of your existing counter-surveillance controls.

Security Professionals Advanced TSCM Training

All courses are tailored to suit the specific skill sets of attendees. The following outlines of our standard 3 day TSCM course.

Electronic Counter Measures 1st DAY

For users who have little or no previous experience in Electronic Counter Measures IPS offer an initial one day’s training. This is essential knowledge so that participants understand what they are looking for and where these type of devices can be hidden. It is also important participants appreciate the limitations of listening devices for example, what can be done with the aid of electronic counter measures and, even more important, what can’t be done. This also covers physical search techniques which are an essential part of any counter measures search. During the day students are shown a variety of ‘bugging’ devices ranging from the simple to the sophisticated.

Electronic Counter Measures 2nd DAY

With the knowledge gained from the earlier course, the participants will now be able to understand more fully the operation of electronic counter measures equipment such as the OSCOR and the ORION Non Linear Junction Detector. Each piece of equipment is explained in detail with a ‘hands-on’ approach to ensure the attendees fully understand the operational procedures. During the day several of the transmitters used on the previous course are deployed so the team can see the real time result using the equipment. Finally a practice search is carried out to access the trainees knowledge in the use of the ECM equipment.

Electronic Counter Measures 3rd Day

Where time and budget permits the third day is used to instruct the participants in the more advanced methods of surveillance and the associated electronic counter measures. During the day several practice sweeps are carried out to help the students gain experience and confidence in the use of the electronic counter measures equipment whilst having an instructor on hand.
As mentioned, I.P.S, have been responsible for training numerous government, MoD’s and corporate agencies around the world and from this experience we have found it best to keep the training on an informal basis. This allows the individuals to interrupt and ask questions rather than be ‘towed’ along missing various vital points.
Our training price is based on a daily rate of £1,000 for up to two people, extra personnel charged at £350 per day. In the UK this includes lunch, morning coffee etc. For overseas training, Hotel accommodation and return flight must be added together with one further day to cover traveling time. Days 1 or 3 can be excluded depending on the experience of the search team.
