FAQs

What’s the difference between surveillance and counter-surveillance?
Surveillance observes; counter-surveillance detects and disrupts hostile surveillance to protect the principal and programme.

Can you remain fully covert?
Yes. We tailor visibility—covert attire and behaviours for low profile, or measured overt presence as a deterrent.

Do you coordinate with venues and police?
We liaise discreetly with venue management and, where appropriate, with law enforcement while maintaining client confidentiality.

How long do operations run?
From short-window event coverage to multi-day itineraries; we scale teams to your programme.

Do you do electronic sweeps?
Electronic sweeps are covered under TSCM Bug Sweeps (separate technical service). We can bundle both under one plan.
