TSCM & Bug Sweeping Services
Delivered by specialists with backgrounds in UK Special Forces, government, and defence, ensuring the highest professional standards.
S2K provide discreet, high-level Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) operations for private, corporate, and legal-sector clients across the UK. Also known as electronic bug sweeping, TSCM involves the detection, identification, and neutralisation of illicit surveillance devices, from covert audio bugs and hidden cameras to GPS trackers and wireless transmitters.
TSCM Services
Our TSCM services are led by former Home Office technical specialists with decades of experience operating in sensitive environments, including government facilities, private residences, commercial premises, and mobile platforms. Each deployment is structured, thorough, and conducted to the highest technical standard.
All TSCM operations are conducted in strict confidence, with minimal disruption to your property or schedule. Our processes follow the principles of necessity, legality, and discretion — designed to protect you, your reputation, and your operational integrity.
S2K’s TSCM capability is not a bolted-on service. It is a specialist strand of our operational output, delivered by professionals with proven track records in high-threat and high-value environments.
Bug Sweeps for Offices, Homes and Vehicles
Office and Boardroom Bug Sweeps
Boardrooms, executive offices and meeting rooms are prime targets for eavesdropping, especially ahead of negotiations, acquisitions or disputes. Our office bug sweeps combine RF spectrum analysis with physical inspection of furniture, fittings, ceiling voids, power sockets and IT equipment to locate hidden microphones, cameras and transmitters. Sweeps can be scheduled out of hours to avoid disrupting your business.
Residential Bug Sweeps
Private residences are increasingly targeted during divorce proceedings, family disputes and stalking cases, and in threats against high-profile individuals. We carry out discreet home bug sweeps, checking living areas, home offices, phones, routers and smart devices for covert audio, video and network-based surveillance. Our operatives arrive unmarked and work with complete discretion.
Vehicle Bug and GPS Tracker Sweeps
Covert GPS trackers and listening devices can be fitted to a vehicle in seconds and left in place for months. Our vehicle sweeps inspect the exterior, interior, wheel arches, OBD port and wiring for active and passive tracking devices, including units that only transmit intermittently and are missed by handheld detectors.

You should also book a sweep before sensitive meetings, after an office move or refurbishment, when an employee leaves on bad terms, or if confidential information appears to have leaked. We can assess your risk and recommend a schedule to suit it.
