A state-based utilities provider engaged CurbyMcLintock after receiving an anonymous allegation that a staff member had installed covert surveillance cameras in various locations across the organisation, including bathroom facilities and executive areas. The concerns raised, included that commercially sensitive information was being captured and leaked for competitive advantage.
TSCM specialists conducted a thorough and discreet sweep of the identified locations using advanced surveillance-detection equipment and inspection techniques. While no covert devices were identified during the searches, several vulnerabilities were uncovered within the organisation’s physical and technical security environment.
These weaknesses included inadequate access controls, unsecured infrastructure, and insufficient awareness of surveillance risks among staff. A detailed set of recommendations was provided to strengthen the organisation’s security posture, remediate the identified vulnerabilities and reduce the likelihood of future surveillance threats.
