When you run an international business, it is important to engage in technical surveillance counter-measures or TSCM. This is a security step you take when you think you are being bugged. There are a variety of different types of TSCM that you can engage in, which is why you should work with a security company to help you figure out the most necessary TSCM steps for your business to take to keep things secure.

Keep the Information Private

If you think that you are being bugged, the last thing you need to do is start to talk about it. Don't tell your co-workers or friends. You don't want to tell anyone that you think you are being bugged, because you don't know who was used to plant the bug. The only person that you should share that information with is a Counter Surveillance Specialist who can run a TSCM operation to identify the bugs and their source.

Keep Up Your Routine

When you think you are being bugged, you want to find out who is bugging you. You don't want to give away the fact that you know you are being bugged. That means you need to keep up your routine. Go and do the things that you were doing before, like normal. You may want to censor what you are saying, but not in a way that is obvious. Keeping up your routine will allow a surveillance team to figure out who planted the bug and take action.

Be Careful with Your Email

Be careful with your email. You can be bugged or spied on without a physical device. Someone can easily put spyware on any internet-connected device. For example, they could send you an email with an attachment that infects your computer when it is opened. That is why you want to use an email service that scans your emails and tries to protect you from such things. If you are suspect that you are being hacked, be especially careful with your email and computer activity. Everything that you are doing on your computer could be tracked by an outside person or organization. For more information on this type of scenario, contact a cybersecurity consulting services company.

If you think your business has been bugged or spied on in some way, you need to contact a counter-surveillance team who can implement a TSCM plan to figure out if you are in fact being bugged and by whom. In the meantime, keep up your regular routine, with a note of caution, until the spying party is found.
