What the service involves
TSCM (technical surveillance countermeasures) is a systematic technical and physical search of a space for hidden listening devices, cameras and tracking equipment. We analyse the radio spectrum, use optics to find hidden camera lenses, and check wiring, furniture and small objects. On vehicles, we look for GPS trackers. On request, the checked space stays under our control until you arrive.
Who it is for
When you need it
Before you check into a hotel or rented residence, ahead of confidential negotiations or a board meeting, whenever you suspect an information leak, and as a regular preventive check of residences, offices and vehicles. The ideal time is just before you arrive: we check the space and, if agreed, keep it under our watch until you arrive.
How it works in practice
We arrive before you do, unobtrusively, without uniforms and without attracting the attention of staff. The sweep follows a fixed protocol: spectrum analysis, optical detection and a physical check of critical points. You receive a clear report covering the areas checked, the time of the sweep, findings, limitations and recommendations; any find is documented and secured. Depending on the brief, the space stays under watch until you arrive, typically alongside Close / Executive Protection or UHNW Family Security.
Why Bodyguard Group®
Modern detection equipment in the hands of specialists who have protected the privacy of the most demanding clients since 2009.

And because TSCM is part of our full range of protection services, a verified space leads straight into close protection, transport or event security. One team, one standard.
