Live TSCM Monitoring

Client

• Confidential; High-tech corporate Enterprise

Industry

• High Tech

Objective

• Ensure that sensitive information is not disclosed outside of corporate circles.

Solutions

• Ad Hoc, on demand TSCM sweeps of both corporate held locations (board rooms, aircraft, vehicles) and temporary sites prior to occupation (hotel rooms, vacation sites, off-site retreat space).
• Red5’s methodology begins with a Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) sweep of the premises that will be used for the conference. Red5’s technicians use equipment to analyze radio frequency, infrared, and other technical spectrums to detect devices that may transmit conversations through these channels. A physical search of the space also allows for the discovery of hidden microphones, transmitters, audio recorders, and other interception devices.
• Red5 uses the information gathered from the sweep to mitigate any devices present in the space, as well as to provide recommendations to the client for methods to reduce the likelihood that adversaries will introduce new interception devices during the event.
• Red5’s recommendations cover a range of best practices, such as the restriction of mobile devices in the area and the use of special pouches that can block cellular phone signals to prevent the transmission of data or tracking of locations.

Results

• Red5 provided Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) sweeps and electronic monitoring for sensitive corporate and political events and conferences. The practice assured that listening devices are not present in the meeting space prior to the event and provides the ability to detect any new devices introduced into the space during the conference.
• Live monitoring allowed Red5 to provide a continuity of security throughout the event to ensure the protection of sensitive information.
• During the event, Red5 technicians conducted remote live monitoring of the spectrums to detect any new devices that could compromise communications. Red5 deployed its equipment and personnel in an area adjacent to the meeting space and used trace analysis cycles to scan for transmissions that may pose a threat.
• Red5 provided a report after the sweep and live monitoring that detailed any devices detected prior to or during the event, and provided mitigation recommendations to prevent the interception of communications in the future.
• Red5 recommended the periodic sweep of spaces where sensitive conversations are held, as well as spot sweeps and monitoring for significant events and conferences.
