International TSCM Standards & Findings

I am fortunate enough to have clients across the globe and to therefore meet like-minded colleagues and clients on my travels. As it happens, I spent today, my first in the USA for this trip, with a true professional of the TSCM business, based in California. We did a lot of talking about technical surveillance countermeasure techniques and processes employed by each of us, and can confidentially state, that the counter-surveillance services we offer in the Asia-Pacific, definitely matches those services offered in the USA.

Amusingly, when discussing peripheral security reviews, we realised that the vulnerabilities typically identified within corporations, is not limited to our respective geographical boundaries. Desks are not kept free of paperwork, doors are not locked, access control is not installed and CCTV is not fitted. These are a few common items, shared by all!

Please don’t hesitate to post some information on your counter-surevillance systems and processes. We can then start to review how each of you operate in the hope of assisting those who might be new to the business.
