MICROSEARCH LLC provides comprehensive Technical Surveillance Countermeasures surveys and incorporates government level equipment and training as well as our technicians’ personal knowledge in multiple systems to assist in the locating of critical information leaks and eavesdropping measures. Whether by TSCM electronic testing methods or physical search, our technicians look for and identify all possible surveillance devices and security weaknesses for our clients.
MICROSEARCH TSCM surveys include a comprehensive report of the activities and findings and include recommendations for improving information security. The recommendations for improvement are objective because we are not affiliated with any security product or service providers. The survey also helps satisfy the obligation to protect proprietary data as required by the Economic Espionage Act of 1996. |
