TSCM & Bug Sweeping Services in New Zealand
Discreet technical sweeps for hidden listening devices, cameras and GPS trackers in boardrooms, homes and vehicles.
What Is a TSCM Sweep?
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) is the process of finding and removing hidden listening devices, cameras and trackers.
A sweep, often called bug sweeping, combines a physical search with electronic detection and ends with a report, because you also need to know how a device got there. Our people come from NZ Police tactical and technical operations and special forces backgrounds.

Don’t search the room yourself
Searching or discussing the concern in the space you suspect can alert whoever placed the device. Contact us from a different location and device.
