A Technical Surveillance Countermeasures survey or “Bug Sweep” includes looking for covert technology such as hidden cameras and microphones that are used by malicious actors to capture and transmit sensitive corporate information and / or private conversations for nefarious purposes
The Sweep
A physical and technical inspection
- Conduct a thorough physical search of the area including furnishings and room structure to locate any listening / recording devices or areas to be further examined electronically.
- An initial cursory passive monitoring of the space for signals to record signal burst or random transmissions.

A report summarizing the evaluation including
A report will be provided with a review of actions taken, threat findings and general observations of acoustic leakage and information security vulnerabilities, as well as any other information security risks identified with recommendations for security enhancements. The depth and breadth of the final report will be refined when scoping the project.
