AUSTRALIA’S ONLY CIVILIAN TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE COUNTERMEASURES TRAINING COURSE

“TSCM is a skill set that not all security & investigation consultants can boast but is a very useful one to have. Most attacks are planned and therefore, a principle is very likely to be monitored in one way or another which is why Bugs are something that a modern-day operator should be able to detect”

– Michael Chandler

Technical Surveillance Countermeasures, commonly known as TSCM, is the practice of protecting sensitive information and confidential conversations from being monitored or intercepted by unauthorized individuals. TSCM is a crucial aspect of the security program for businesses, government agencies, and individuals who handle sensitive information or are concerned about privacy breaches. This essay will discuss the history and evolution of TSCM, the technologies used in TSCM, the steps involved in TSCM, and the benefits of TSCM.

TSCM has its roots in the intelligence community, where it was developed to protect classified information from espionage and surveillance. The first TSCM sweeps were performed in the 1960s by the US government to detect and prevent Soviet listening devices from being installed in US embassies. Since then, the practice has expanded to include private businesses, wealthy individuals, and other organizations that are concerned about protecting sensitive information.
