Training Overview
Protect Your Organisation from Espionage, Eavesdropping, and Surveillance Threats
This unique training is designed to educate staff, executives, and contractors on how surveillance attacks occur—and what can be done to detect or prevent them.
Developed in response to ASIO’s 2025 report into the $12.5 billion cost of espionage to Australian organisations, our awareness training helps build frontline vigilance inside your organisation.
Attendees will gain practical insight into how bugs are planted, how hostile surveillance unfolds, and how to identify early warning signs—all without needing a technical background.
This is not technical operator training—it’s awareness and prevention for any staff member exposed to sensitive data, deals, or conversations.

Why It Matters
We detect hidden surveillance devices in 1 out of every 3 sweeps we perform—across both large and small businesses.
From listening bugs in boardrooms to trackers in company vehicles, espionage is real and active across Australia. Most victims don’t know they’ve been compromised until it’s too late.

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.
