Confidentiality is a right. But it is also a responsibility.
In a world where information is power, protecting the confidentiality of physical spaces is essential. Environments where strategic decisions are made — such as executive offices, professional practices, meeting rooms, private premises or homes — are increasingly exposed to the risk of unlawful interception, privacy violations and corporate espionage.
Global Risk Intelligence’s TSCM (Technical Surveillance Counter Measures) Sweeps service is designed to guarantee the security of these spaces by detecting and neutralizing audio and video bugs, concealed listening devices, hidden GSM or Wi-Fi systems, room transmitters and other unauthorized surveillance equipment.
The intervention is carried out by certified technicians using professional equipment and proven methodologies, always with the utmost discretion and without disrupting the normal operation of the premises. Our aim is to give clients certainty that the place where they work, meet or live is truly secure in terms of information protection.

Case Study: TSCM Sweeps
An executive at a listed company reported that confidential information had leaked during an M&A negotiation. We carried out a complete sweep of the office and his home, detecting a GSM microphone concealed in a power strip and installed during maintenance work entrusted to an external supplier. After its removal and reporting, the company introduced stronger security protocols, preventing further information losses.
