Advanced Eavesdropping Detection Audits
"More effective than TSCM." sm


Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) is a decades old military term – procedures soldiers followed to find the simple bugs and wiretaps of that era. The objective – "Find the bug, soldier."

Times changed. Technology advanced. TSCM procedures tried to keep pace. The objective, however, remained the same – "Find the bug, soldier."

When private sector secrets became more valuable than military secrets CEO's and Security Directors wanted protection, too. At the time, TSCM was the easy fix. Unfortunately, "find the bug, soldier" doesn't work very well in a business environment.

A Murray Associates audit thinks differently...
"Keep the bug out in the first place. Then, periodically double-check."
It is cheaper and less disruptive to prevent information loss problems.

At Murray Asociates we look forward...
We research, anticipate and track advances in technology.
Spotting future eavesdropping techniques - today - is not part of TSCM. (1, 2)

We are innovative and inventive...
We create solutions before new eavesdropping techniques arrive. (our list) The "we are always one step behind the bad guys" lament is TSCM thinking.
With us, you are ahead of the bad guys. (our latest)

We become knowledgeable about our client's businesses...
Every business has a personality, unique concerns, unexpected vulnerabilities. By learning, observing and thinking we craft techniques and the correct protocol to custom suit our client's needs. The TSCM mind-set is more checklist-pedantic.

Technically, we are more advanced...
Our clients have the benefit of the most advanced instrumentation available. Many of our instruments are not available from TSCM providers. (example) This is due to two factors:
• Some of our clients are government contractors, thus giving us access to purchase exclusive government versions of our instrumentation.
• Being a successful 30+ year-old company (with a client family who appreciates and needs "the best") we can afford special instrumentation.

Our approach is holistic...
We take the time to understand your concerns. More importantly, we can understand. Our staff has spent many years conducting most types of corporate investigations. They also have security hardware and systems experience. We are uniquely well-rounded, and plug perfectly into the corporate environment.

TSCM'ers rarely come from corporate security environments; it is difficult for them to understand your concerns. It is even more difficult when they come from a military or police background.

With Murray Associates you get more than just us...
We belong to a network of the world's best security minds, the International Association of Professional Security Consultants. Expertise and advice are just a phone call away. And did you know, IAPSC members will not try to sell you the security solutions they recommend. You can trust a member's judgement. They do not have a financial stake in your purchase.

Solving your concerns is our focus...
A Murray Associates Eavesdropping Detection Audit can solve your concerns. With traditional TSCM, the focus is on completing a checklist of tests. Complete the list and present the bill. Technically, the job is done. But, did TSCM actually solve your concern? If not, you didn't get full value for your money.


Please, choose wisely. You may only have one chance to do this right.
