Bug Sweeps is a professional service that is called upon much more nowadays, mainly by corporate businesses but also some private clients, especially as cyber security is so important in this modern day and age.
Be careful when arranging this specialist service, there are companies out there with little or no experience who will charge you a small fortune. It is so easy to purchase equipment off the internet or from an electrical retailer, then sell this service to unsuspecting clients who think you are experts, as often portrayed on the TV.
Listening devices and covert cameras can so easily be purchased from the internet, most often coming from China, these are easy to install, but there are also sophisticated devices that are professionally installed and can sit there dormant until they are required when they are remotely activated. The threat level is literally changing regularly so you have to be careful.
Surelock and our dedicated engineer have been successfully carrying out sweeps for over 30 years. Working with a backup team, most of the equipment is purpose built. We conduct a full electronic sweep of the premises, then using a number of handheld wands for near field examinations of the respective rooms / offices, computers, and telephone equipment, finally very importantly a finger-tip search examining power supplies, ceiling tiles, thus when we complete an ECS search we can tell you if there is anything there or we will evidence what was found.
From a small home / office to a Premier League Football Club or a major seven story building we have the expertise to professionally protect your property.
We have identified GSM mobile phones being used more, the client is engaged interviewing someone, who at the conclusion asks to use the bathroom, leaving their mobile in the room. This can be accessed remotely so they can hear what is being said about them, in the same way an installed device can.
We can also sweep your car for covert listening devices / cameras / trackers which are now commonly used by criminals and those wishing to gather intelligence about you.
At the end of the operation, we can genuinely tell the client that there is nothing there or indeed find out that there was, that is what our clients rely on!
What you say in private is your business, keeping it that way is ours.
Our clients of many years range from Law Firms, Financial Institutions, Blue Chip Companies, Local Authorities, Premier League Football Clubs, Celebrities and Private Individuals, they are not hiding anything illegal but just wish to protect their business or home, especially when important decisions / boards meetings are taking place.
