Description
Office and Business bug sweep services cost and pricing include inspecting your business’s accessible interior and exterior spaces. You will pay only the quoted, flat fee for a detailed inspection. The combination of our equipment and experience allows us to identify hidden cameras or microphones that are on and actively transmitting, hidden devices that are turned off, or even devices that were removed before the sweep if they were previously connected to the office’s internet (via Router Analysis).
Rapid technological changes over the last 20 years have made surveillance equipment more affordable and available to a wider range of individuals. Business surveillance is no longer limited to just the largest of corporations. Instead, smaller family businesses are increasingly subject to spying.
We can bug sweep offices, and conference rooms, analyze business routers, and other devices and accounts to uncover covert surveillance on your business or in your office.

Common Reasons for Business Surveillance
Businesses large and small are targets of surveillance for a variety of reasons. In addition, surveillance equipment now comes in so many shapes and sizes, that it is easier than ever for someone to covertly spy on your business. The cause could be anything from general distrust to attempted trade secret theft for a competitive advantage. Specific examples include:
- A spouse in a family law matter wants information related to a spouse’s business valuation;
- Business partners dispute arises, and one ends up spying on the other;
- A competitor tries to steal business ideas and intellectual property from the business;
- One business seeks an advantage over another during active litigation between the two companies;
- A state regulatory agency is pursuing enforcement of claims against the business and an overly zealous regulator tries to gain information;
- Stockholders are upset about business performance and conduct surveillance to figure out what is happening and to try to remove current management.
Counter Surveillance Services for your Business Office
How Secure is Your Conference Room?
Some of the most sensitive, private, and confidential information is shared in both corporate and government conference rooms. Discussions of corporate strategy, trade secrets, and litigation matters are all highly sensitive and frequently discussed in a conference room.
We do conference room bug sweeps as regularly as you want to ensure that what’s said in the conference room stays in the conference room. Read more here.
Counter Surveillance Measures
- First, take a look around and see if anything looks recently disturbed. Generally, when someone is installing hidden microphones or cameras, they are in a hurry. Thus, they are likely to leave behind evidence of disturbance. Look for fixtures, light covers, or baseboards, that are slightly off position. Or, look for drywall dust if any drilling occurred. Read more about common signs of surveillance.
- Have the premises swept for surveillance equipment.
- Consider whether you need to also sweep business vehicles and other equipment such as company phones, computers, and routers.

Tips to Choose a Counter Surveillance Expert
A thorough bug sweep process takes time. To do the job it takes time and a methodology and workflow that is careful and locates any hidden surveillance devices. Unfortunately, we have had to check a house for surveillance after the client had previously had another service provider sweep the home in a 30–minute period of time.
Before you hire someone, ask the counter-surveillance expert the following questions:
- Where did they attain their knowledge and experience in counter-surveillance?
- Do they have certifications?
- Do they use commercial grade “best-of-breed” equipment?
- Do they have a legal background so that they understand how to handle the evidence and authenticate it for use in a civil or criminal trial?
- Do they have references?
The proliferation of Spy Devices
Rapid changes in technology over the last 20 years have made surveillance equipment more affordable and available to a wider range of individuals. Easy to install bugs and spy devices make it easy for employees or departing business partners to spy on others in the office. Frequently, spy devices look like common items in an office– smoke detectors, pens, water bottles, and more.
