Simply put, we hunt spies, stop espionage, and plug leaks.

Take a moment right now,
and ask
yourself
these series of questions:
1. Do
you know the first names of your outside cleaning
staff? How about even the name of the company?
2.
Do you have a key card access system in your
company? If you do, who monitors the program?
3. Do you
screen visitors and contractors?
4. Do you
have your meetings in a unsecured conference room?
5. Do you
have a security service or CCTV cameras?
If you
answer no, to any of these questions, you company is
susceptible to eavesdropping devices.

Can your business plan fall prey upon your competitor’s greed
all by a cheap
make shift eavesdropping "Bug" device?
You bet it can.
We found this bug in a major food distributor's conference room and later
learned that it was purchased off of Ebay
for $30.00... |

Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) is our specialty.
Bug-sweeping for telephone line bugs and wiretaps (using wiretap detection),
computer data line taps and bugs (telecommunications security), and
bug-sweep your conference rooms
(using electronic room sweeping equipment). We train bi-annually and we
possess over a-half million dollars
of professional and modern sweep
equipment. Do not be fooled by
inexperienced private investigators
or computer geeks who think they
know what they are doing and what to
search for.
Peace of mind may come cheap for one
if you think that having someone
wave around a hundred dollar
inferior "lighted sweep device"
makes you safe. Quick informal
services and cost-effective corner
cutting does not work in this field.
Do not make the mistake by hiring a
small "do-all" firm that basically
takes your money and tells you that
it is completely safe. For over
twenty-four years, we have
inherently witnessed this flagrant
behavior only to abide by our
mirrored professionalism, hence,
only to live with a clear and
sustained conscious. We take
this service very seriously---so
should you.


Special Solutions is acknowledged as an international leader in providing electronic
sweeps to detect and neutralize electronic eavesdropping devices (Bugs).
Special Solutions employs the same techniques and equipment used by the U.S.
Government. All of our information specialists are trained and offer an
awareness of espionage and information collection techniques to augment
their expertise in the detection of electronic eavesdropping systems. Our
personnel represent hundreds of hours of TSCM “Electronic Surveillance
Counter Measures” experience and produce results—not to mention peace of
mind.
Security deluded by
convenience causes ambivalence
that always ends in post reactive regrettable
consequences.

When we arrive at any
office or residential
environment, we are
respectful and silent. We
can form any type of "cover"
that a client would be
comfortable with as well.
Nights, weekends and odd
hours are best for this service. |
Many of our clients schedule electronic sweep services on a periodic
basis to ensure a higher level of protection. Client relationships are
maintained on a confidential basis and sensitive information is handled
discreetly. Electronic Eavesdropping Countermeasures (De-Bugging) can be
defined as a combination of searches, both electronic and physical, which
are intended to provide a business, person or organization some reasonable
assurance of privacy against electronic surveillance devices (Bugs). The
search or "Sweep" is conducted by utilizing sophisticated equipment and
techniques, in conjunction with a meticulous physical inspection.
Eavesdropping Countermeasures are usually
conducted for the following
reasons:
Expectation that confidential business or personal conversations are
being intercepted, or a threat thereof.
Indication of a listening device.
Noise on the telephone lines.
Unsolicited telephone repair visits.
Frequent leak of information.
Telltale signs left by intruders.
Domestic or business problems.
