TSCM, or Technical Surveillance Countermeasures, is used in a variety of settings to protect sensitive information, ensure spectrum superiority, and secure facilities against electronic eavesdropping devices or electronic attack. This includes government buildings, corporate offices, financial institutions, embassies, data centres and quantum labs, for example.
TSCM is also utilized in legal proceedings, private investigations, and during mergers and acquisitions to ensure that confidential information remains secure. In general, TSCM (also known as in-building spectrum monitoring or as a building monitoring system), is employed in any environment where there is a need to safeguard against unauthorized surveillance and protect highly sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands (hostile foreign nation, corporate or private).
