In compliance with a demanding procedure combined with high-tech equipment, CAPHEX carries out electronic countermeasures operations intended to seek out and then neutralize “insects”, i.e. the systems of listening and recording (spy microphones) within your company (offices, meeting rooms), home, motor vehicle, private jet and yacht.

We are able to offer you a complete TSCM or “dusting” inspection according to your needs, your expectations and your constraints. On site, we will carry out the following checks:

Perimeter analysis (immediate environment, existing security elements)
Spectral fingerprinting of the external environment followed by a fingerprint for each of the parts checked allowing the establishment of a “mapping” highlighting all the suspicious frequencies which will be analyzed
Scans and electronic countermeasures, followed by a thorough physical search of the premises
Threat assessment based on on-site data
End of mission report with recommendations and corrections if necessary
