Our Counter-Surveillance Methodology

Futurum Risk delivers targeted, intelligence-led Technical Surveillance Countermeasure (TSCM) services designed to detect, verify, and neutralise covert surveillance threats with precision, discretion, and speed. Our approach secures sensitive environments and restores privacy across corporate, legal, and personal contexts.

Our Methodology
  1. Customised Counter-Surveillance Plan:
    Each sweep begins with a clear understanding of the client’s environment, threat landscape, and risk profile. Strategies are tailored to align with security priorities, legal considerations, and operational sensitivities, whether the goal is a routine sweep, a high-risk investigation, or continuous protection of critical spaces.

  2. Technical Detection & Data Collection:
    Using industry-leading RF spectrum analysers, non-linear junction detectors, thermal imagers, and endoscopic tools, investigators scan for illicit transmissions, hidden electronics, and concealed devices. Wireless technologies (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS) are analysed for anomalies, ensuring a comprehensive sweep across both physical and digital vectors.

  3. Analysis & Threat Correlation:
    Collected signals and findings are examined by trained specialists to identify unauthorised transmissions, compromised equipment, or suspicious devices. Data is correlated across multiple sources , RF readings, physical inspections, and wireless assessments, to form a complete picture of potential threats.

  4. Risk Impact & Attribution Assessment
    We assess the potential impact of identified issues, vulnerabilities, or incidents — including operational, reputational, legal, and financial risks. When applicable, we conduct attribution analysis to link threat activity to known actors, internal users, or external entities.

  5. Risk Assessment & Neutralisation
    Potential surveillance risks are assessed for operational, reputational, legal, and personal impact. Where devices are located, neutralisation and secure removal protocols are followed, supported by evidence handling procedures suitable for legal or regulatory escalation if required.

  6. Reporting & Strategic Guidance:
    Each engagement concludes with a detailed report outlining key findings, identified risks, and recommended countermeasures. Reports are clear, structured, and formatted for board-level or legal use, ensuring clients gain not only immediate protection but also long-term guidance for securing sensitive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What environments do you sweep?

We conduct comprehensive TSCM sweeps across boardrooms, offices, vehicles, residences, and temporary locations such as hotels or safe houses. Any environment where sensitive discussions or decisions take place can be secured.

Do you detect both active and dormant devices?

Yes. Our equipment identifies active transmissions as well as dormant or powered-off electronics. Using RF spectrum analysis, non-linear junction detection, and thermal imaging, we locate devices even if they are disguised or not transmitting.

What happens during a TSCM sweep?

A team of trained specialists discreetly inspects the premises, using advanced detection equipment to scan frequencies, wiring, furniture, fixtures, and wireless networks. Any anomalies or devices are identified, documented, and neutralised where appropriate.

Can you check vehicles for trackers or bugs?

Absolutely. Vehicle sweeps identify GPS trackers, GSM transmitters, hidden microphones, and other devices that may compromise movement or communications.

Are your sweeps legally compliant and confidential?

Yes. All services are delivered in line with international standards. Investigations are conducted discreetly, and findings remain fully confidential. Evidence can be preserved for legal or internal action when required.

Can I schedule regular sweeps?

Yes. Many clients choose ongoing monitoring, with periodic sweeps scheduled for executive offices, meeting rooms, and residences. This ensures persistent protection against emerging threats.

How long does a TSCM sweep take?

Timelines vary depending on the environment’s size and complexity. Small office or vehicle sweeps may be completed in a few hours, while full building sweeps can take a day or more.

What equipment do you use?

Our investigators deploy industry-leading RF spectrum analysers, non-linear junction detectors (NLJD), thermal imagers, and endoscopic tools. Wireless networks, Bluetooth, and GPS frequencies are also examined for irregularities.

Yes. We provide reports suitable for litigation, regulatory proceedings, or internal investigations, and often coordinate with legal counsel when sweeps uncover evidence of illicit surveillance.

Is my information safe with you?

100%. All findings are handled under strict data protection protocols, with secure reporting and encrypted communication throughout the process.

What industries do you support?

We work across finance, legal, technology, government, defence, energy, healthcare, and private clients, tailoring counter-surveillance expertise to each sector’s unique risks.
