Bug Sweeping Services

At PDL we provide a comprehensive range of bug sweeping services, and other technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM).

We work with valued clients worldwide – both private individuals and corporate organisations – to ensure their privacy and security.

Please read more below about what bug sweeping is, when it might be helpful to you, how we deliver bug sweeping and TSCM solutions, and why you should have confidence in our services.

What Is Bug Sweeping?

Bug Sweeping is the aspect of counter-surveillance concerned with thoroughly checking locations or devices for ‘bugs’ – meaning any kind of eavesdropping or recording device, or other information gathering equipment. Examples of this include phone taps, hidden microphones, concealed cameras, and GPS tracking.

When Is Bug Sweeping Helpful? 

Bug Sweeping is necessary for those who either know or suspect that they are under surveillance – especially technical surveillance. It’s understandable that anyone – though particularly corporate organisations, high net worth individuals, or individuals facing particular personal or legal circumstances – might have the concern that they’re being ‘bugged’ and the wish to investigate further and restore their safety and confidentiality.
