Government and Corporate Services

While businesses and organizations are at a higher risk today of economic espionage, many do not include proper TSCM/counter surveillance services as part of their overall security posture.

Larger businesses and organizations are not immune to hype and misinformation, and often involve higher threat levels and complex target environments. While there are a variety of TSCM service providers with varying degrees of experience and training, many organizations do not have sufficient knowledge of TSCM services. This can make the process of contracting a provider and ensuring proper services are performed very difficult.

Waypoint Counter Surveillance takes the uncertainty out of the process providing highly trained TSCM Specialists with technical security, operational security, cybersecurity and intelligence-related backgrounds, utilizing the most sophisticated electronic equipment resources. Our services include teams of highly skilled TSCM operators which vary in number depending on individual requirements, offering levels of customization and capability for assignments of any size, complexity or threat level both locally and across Canada.

The diverse experience of our TSCM Specialists includes extensive knowledge of offensive and defensive technical intelligence equipment and operations. Many years of practical experience working in large corporate business environments provides us with a unique understanding of corporate culture, and the challenges faced by business executives and management. We create workable counter-surveillance strategies based on the requirements and within the parameters outlined by any organization.

* Waypoint Counter Surveillance will provide or agree to a full non-disclosure agreement when required or requested. However, whether or not a formal agreement is required we always operate under full non-disclosure protocol. It is against our operating policy to disclose or otherwise publish any information unless requested by law including clients and their contact or business information, TSCM testing results or data, survey / inspection findings, threat assessment analysis information or photographs of client facilities or property used in assessments or reports, even if they are completely non-identifiable in nature. It is our commitment to the protection of your organizations’ privacy and confidential information.

* Our TSCM services for larger business, corporate and government clients utilize our extensive experience, training, and knowledge combined with advanced equipment resources to help ensure the highest quality services are provided for your organization. Our services are provided for clients with individual as well as multiple locations.

Organizations with locations requiring long-distance travel nationally or internationally have an even more difficult task for implementing TSCM services or programs. While continuity of service may be preferable, especially when dealing with security measures, the reality is that utilizing a single TSCM service provider may not always be a practical solution or in the best interests of the customer due to logistics, expenses involved, operator scheduling difficulties, legal issues and equipment restrictions between countries as well as for situations or emergencies where limited time is a key factor.

These types of situations should never be treated as an afterthought. Our TSCM consulting services were designed to deal with situations where the use of a single operator would adversely affect or put the security posture of an organization at risk, allowing us to provide solutions that put the best interests of our clients first. In these instances, only top professional operators with the highest levels of experience and training are utilized and we do not collect any fee or type of compensation from any operator whose services are contracted which allows us to be completely objective in our recommendations and decisions eliminating any conflict of interest issues. Honesty and integrity are key factors of our operating policy and in creating trust with all of our clients.

Our consulting services provide solutions for assignments that could not otherwise be addressed while providing full continuity for all technical security programs. In addition, we provide centralized billing and as with all of our TSCM services, non-disclosure protocol is always in effect.
