Commercial
Office & facility TSCM inspection
Corporate espionage is rarely dramatic. It is a device in a meeting room, a compromised conference phone, or an insider with ten minutes alone. An office inspection is how you find out.
An office TSCM inspection examines the working spaces where your organisation’s strategy, pricing, litigation position, and personnel decisions are discussed. The engagement is scoped by risk, not floor area: we agree the rooms that matter, inspect them thoroughly, and document the result so it can support governance, disputes, or a transaction.
When offices get targeted
- mergers, acquisitions, and fundraising;
- litigation and regulatory investigations;
- redundancy programmes and contested departures;
- competitive tenders with predictable rivals;
- after unexplained leaks of commercially sensitive detail.
If any of these are live for you now, see when to commission an inspection — timing matters more than most buyers expect. For the single highest-value room in the building, see boardroom TSCM inspections; for what drives pricing at office scale, see what a TSCM inspection costs.
Scope options
Executive zone
Boardroom, CEO and CFO offices, executive assistants' area, and the video-conferencing suite. The most common corporate scope, deliverable in a single out-of-hours visit.
Department
Legal, corporate development, HR, or a research area — inspected ahead of or during a sensitive programme of work.
Facility baseline
A wider first inspection that establishes a documented baseline across meeting rooms and sensitive areas, followed by a recurring cadence on the rooms that matter most.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need to inspect the whole office?
Almost never. Effective corporate TSCM concentrates on the rooms where sensitive conversations actually happen — the boardroom, executive offices, legal, and deal rooms. The RF portion of the inspection covers surrounding areas by default, so focused scope does not mean blind spots.
Will staff know an inspection happened?
Only if you want them to. Inspections are usually delivered out of hours under a cover story agreed with your named contact. Some clients later publicise a sweep programme as a deterrent; that is a policy choice, not a requirement.
Can you inspect a new office before we move in?
Yes, and it is one of the best times to do it: the space is empty, access is simple, and you establish a clean baseline before sensitive work begins there.
What about hybrid working and video calls?
The network review covers conferencing hardware and meeting-room systems, which are now the most common technical weak point in offices. Insecurely configured room microphones are a bigger real-world risk than film-style bugs.
