The Bug Sweep Services You Need to Protect Your Business

In a perfect world, these types of countermeasures would be unnecessary. Unfortunately, intellectual properties are hot commodities these days, and some bad actors will stop at nothing to obtain your most closely-guarded corporate secrets. And yes – that includes covertly installing listening and recording devices on your company’s premises. Those criminals understand that few business owners know how to sweep for bugs or use anti-bugging devices.

Of course, true corporate security requires more than just protecting your intellectual property. Business strategies and long-term plans are also key targets for espionage, and bug sweeps are the only way to be sure that your next corporate meeting is truly secure. One undiscovered listening device in your meeting room is all thieves need to obtain key strategic information that your business rivals can use against you.

Effective Bug Sweep Detection Services from Experienced Professionals

Make no mistake: when your company’s security is on the line, you need to rely on proven, trusted professionals to secure your work environment. While commonly-available “magic wands” and other inexpensive anti-surveillance devices can identify some of the cheaper wireless devices used by minor thieves, those solutions generally prove ineffective against the more sophisticated espionage tools used by hostile governments and larger corporate interests.

At ISS, our team has access to the most advanced bug-sweeping technologies available in the security industry, and we specialize in thorough electronic surveillance searches for companies, public buildings, and even homes. We can also help you learn to identify potential warning signs that might indicate that your business or home has been compromised by electronic surveillance devices:

  • Strange sounds on your phone
  • Unusual interference with radio signals, phone lines, or televisions
  • Unexpected and unexplained visits from repair men, delivery vehicles
  • Unexplained changes to electrical panels, ceiling panels, and other areas of the office
  • Competitors seem to be aware of your secret strategies
  • Obvious signs of unauthorized entry

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact International Security Services, Inc. today to learn more about our general investigations, business investigations, overseas investigations, and background check services.

Who uses private investigation services?

Many people and companies have questions that only an investigation can answer. For example, you may wonder whether a spouse is being unfaithful, desire to learn more about your adoption, or want to run a background check prior to marriage. Businesses often need help investigating potential fraud, screening employees, or conducting due diligence before mergers, acquisitions, or overseas expansions. International Security Services, Inc. can help with those and other investigation needs.

Why can’t I just investigate on my own?

Obviously, you could try to investigate just about anything on your own. However, there’s a reason why people and companies choose private investigators to get the answers they need. Proper investigations take time, resources, and skill sets that most laypeople lack. In addition, many people are unfamiliar with legal issues related to surveillance and other investigative concerns and can thus easily run afoul of the law during any do-it-yourself investigation.

Why should I choose ISS?

ISS investigators have the expertise and experience you need to get the answers you deserve. Our investigators are all licensed professionals with skills sets that include intelligence gathering and counterintelligence measures, and they’re backed by state-of-the-art investigative tools and techniques.

Can you help me with overseas investigations?

We can. At ISS, we are fluent in both English and Russian, and familiar with the Russian community. As a result, we can provide quality investigative services in both the U.S. and the nations that were once part of the Soviet Union.

What should I know about my investigators?

You should only consider investigators who are properly licensed, bonded, and insured, and who have a proven track record of success. ISS investigators meet and surpass those expectations, which is why our team can offer the most effective investigation services in New York City and abroad.

Should I be concerned about discretion?

When you hire ISS investigators, discretion is a priority. We conduct covert investigations to ensure that subjects remain unaware that they are being surveilled or otherwise investigated. New York statutes require that investigators only release your information if you request it or a court orders such information to be divulged. Otherwise, information that we share with one another is considered confidential. That includes information that you provide during any consultation, even if you decide not to hire ISS.

Are there limitations and things you can’t investigate or do?

Of course. For example, private investigators are not allowed to surreptitiously obtain credit report information without written consent or record conversations without at least one party’s knowledge. We do not harass targets, violate local, state, or federal law, or otherwise conduct ourselves in any way that might be considered immoral or unethical. We can, however, use every legal tool at our disposal to ensure that you get the answers you need.

Property Security Evaluation Report

Your Individualized Property Evaluation Report

Your site’s individualized property evaluation report contains information and analysis that you need to properly manage your site’s security needs. That information includes detailed analysis of the crime rate in your area, site access and parking protocols, and existing security infrastructure. Interior inspection includes analysis of emergency exits, fire suppression capabilities, and alarm infrastructure for emergencies. Exterior inspection includes analysis of structural defects, property lighting, and potential vulnerabilities in building access.

In addition to those inspections, our analysis also considered environmental factors, potential risks from older trees, outside property maintenance, and nearby crime that may overflow to the area. We also examined emergency response planning, including fire evacuation protocols and information supplied to residents about proper evacuation process.

 

Pressing Suggestions


  • Install cameras in common areas and along driveway to the back parking lot as those areas are public spaces that anyone can access and there is no surveillance coverage.

We highly suggest a camera placement along this driveway, as the overhead cameras in the back parking lot may not capture all makes, models, and license plates of cars entering in and out based on the angle they are recording from. The best camera placement would be at the green circle closest to the sidewalk/street.
The common area is easily accessible, but based on the angle that cameras are set at the front lot, anyone can enter the basement common area concealing the side of their face that is facing the camera. This is not to say that the camera arrangement should be changed, but it is highly recommended to have coverage in this common area as the common area is on a lower floor not visible from the sidewalk.

  • Install a gate at the driveway leading to the back parking lot.

  • Make sure every tenant has a universal fire extinguisher and knows how to use it.

  • Develop a comprehensive evacuation plan and make sure that every tenant has received information regarding it. Condo Bylaw book is huge, tenants may easily overlook it.

  • Overall the building is not that big and has not had too many concerns regarding security breaches and/or home invasion throughout its 18-year existence. It is well kept and the fact that there is an active board monitoring and enforcing bylaws is a good sign. 



However, a few fundamental problems exist when it comes to access control of the back parking (a big territory). Even though only two issues have ever occurred there, the wide-open access point to that lot may need to be corrected sooner than later as there is a significant uptick in crime in the 62nd precinct.

Furthermore, there are two fundamental surveillance blind spots along the driveway leading to the back parking lot and every common area.

Lastly, however unlikely it may seem, tenants should have resources and a physical guide for situations that may require an evacuation. Whether it be a flood or fire, each tenant should know how to use a fire extinguisher and where to evacuate to during a flood regardless of their proximity to a shoreline.
