technical surveillance
Ears - Who’s listening? Otherwise known as EAVESDROPPING, Technical surveillance is using technology to eavesdrop, in order to gather information not allowed to you. The manufacture, sale, installation, and monitoring of audio and video surveillance devices is a multi billion industry within the United States.
The FBI claims to be aware
of attempted theft
of trade secrets and
other intellectual
property in 23
countries, and it
claims that US
companies combined
are losing about $2
billion a month to
corporate espionage
resulting from phone
tapping and other
forms of illegal
eavesdropping. Only
you know if you have
reason to believe
whether someone is
listening or
watching, and if you
think they are, then
they probably are.
In
Nevada as in most
states, you need to
be a licensed
Private Investigator
to conduct theses
counter
eavesdropping
sweeps. We are
licensed to do so,
which allows us to
do compete
consulting work
while protecting
your interests.
We

International (R.E.I.)
counter-eavesdropping
equipment
and
can ensure complete
confidentiality.
The Core
Group
specializes in
locating and
neutralizing
surreptitious
devices and
nefarious personnel.
It's a simple matter
for an antagonistic
employee or enemy,
to buy an effective
transmitter or
‘bugging’
device. Cheap,
yet effective, audio
and video devices
are easily planted
in boardrooms,
computers, executive
offices, vehicles
and homes.
Personal and Corporate espionage
is a rapidly growing
phenomenon in our
highly competitive
and complex global
economy. Are you
sure that your
company’s
classified
information is being
protected?
Have you ever
discussed vital
contract information
or the latest
product development,
only to find out
later that this
confidential
information was
suddenly public
knowledge?
The Core Group can help you minimize your losses and improve your companies bottom line by reviewing it's internal security and ensuring your employees understand Technical Surveillance Countermeasures, (T.S.C.M.).
counter - eavesdropping
Eyes - Who’s watching? Businesses are commonly targeted for illegal electronic surveillances by competing corporations and foreign governments, and high profile personalities and celebrities too, due to their tabloid and extortion value. How important is you’re information?
One of the most valuable commodities an
organization has is
it's proprietary
information.
Yet, many companies
and organizations do
very little to
protect this
investment. Our "Bug
Sweep" team
can ensure your
exhibit space,
meeting rooms, or
hotel suite is clean
and safe of hidden
microphones, video
cameras and tape
recorders. We are
trained and licensed
to provide these
services.

an Air Force
Electronic Warfare
Officer, Mr. Jones

eavesdropping
devices, otherwise

He has also been

briefed thousands of
personnel and can

for and how to
respond.
Information theft is a booming business
and cannot only
destabilize your
business, but your
personal life as
well. Knowledge is
not only power,
it’s information. There
are numerous ways an
intelligence
operative can
intercept your data.
The value inherent
in this information
can affect an
organizations'
bottom line, public
image, litigation
and ownership of
intellectual
property.
Industrial espionage is a serious problem that can have a very grave impact on your business. After all, it’s your business and it should stay you business.
