Are You a Target
All businesses and organisations go through stages when they become more at risk from electronic intrusion. When expansion or rationalisation plans are being discussed, when a key executive leaves, when mergers or takeovers are taking place or when tendering for contracts, the risk is heightened.
Some organisations remain constantly newsworthy. That is why our services are now utilised more than ever by sporting institutions, celebrities and high net worth individuals who simply value their privacy.
Law firms who provide meeting rooms for clients have an obligation to ensure that sensitive conversations remain within those four walls.
HOW ARE THE DEVICES PLANTED?
Eavesdroppers don’t usually break in to a premises. Devices are usually brought in by disloyal staff who have been paid as a courier. Alternatively the eavesdropper may have secured a job with a cleaning contractor or may pose as a telecommunications / photocopier engineer. And beware the “Trojan Horse” syndrome. That desktop gift may not be all it seems! More technically advanced devices allow the eavesdropper to simply phone up a bug, even from overseas, to activate and listen to your conversations at key times.
LOOK FOR THE SIGNS
Do your competitors have an unexplained edge? Are you losing contracts? Were you beaten to the last deal? All the above are typical symptoms of unauthorised intrusion. Talk Safe UK can advise you how to look for the physical signs.
