Services - Security

An ever-growing need for security services grew once the events of 9/11 unfolded into our Present Danger. The growth was felt within hours; we had our first influx of business with clients requesting security measures and guard services. Within weeks, they tried to test the American way of life with the “Anthrax Scare”, and we responded with CDC recommended ultra violet sanitizers for mailrooms to protect our clients and respective affiliates. Within months the increase of security was felt with different military branches contacting our offices for services and products; requests for GSA paper shredders, handheld and walkthrough metal detectors…etc. were requested like a Hollywood movie.

Risk management, security, and background checks are not new words; just topics and issues that were not pressed… until the tragedies of 9/11 brought us into our now and ever unfolding Present Danger.

Every aspect of your business should be scrutinized with retrospect to the security infrastructure; a strong infrastructure starts with a secure foundation. The Security you provide needs to be intertwined within every facet of your business and not just the common areas, like door locks and alarm codes. We get complacent with security, we lock our front doors and click an alarm to protect our vehicles… but should it end there? Years ago our grandparents would have thought we were crazy for locking our homes not to mention cars. Our way of life has expanded exponentially, hence our security responsibilities have also grown. The future maybe more complicated with technology and the many devices we have to choose from… however, if we use them correctly and intelligently we can make them work for us.

Many products are available to bring peace of mind and security into your business and household. Some forms of security include camera systems, shredders, detection devices, access control, encryption, computer network security and security patrols. The key to safe security lies in the ability to choose the most effective equipment solutions. Counter Intelligence Services® offers inexpensive consultations as well as affordable security solutions.

Our product line of telephone/facsimile/email encryption, biometric access control, camera systems, mail bomb detection, handheld or walkthrough metal detectors and various other high-end (GSA certified) security systems will increase your protection from competing businesses or terrorist acts.

Corporate Espionage?

Spies still exist… and they’re more prevalent than you realize. Years ago it was the “cold war” and today it’s known as the “corporate spying game”. You may not see yourself as a target; however, if you’re a CEO, a politician, involved in research & development or perceived as wealthy, the chances of someone eavesdropping on you is greatly increased. Competitors, disgruntled lovers, malicious employees or greed in general will make you a target.

You have to ask yourself what makes your product so valuable; is it a formula that can be taken and remanufactured? Is it clothing, gear or leather goods that could be recreated in sweatshops? Blackmailing, product theft, and kidnappings are running rampant today and you need to protect your assets by providing deterrence and a reasonable amount of security. If you fail to act, you may find your new idea on your competitor’s product line or worse. The old eavesdropping methods like the “cup against the wall” has certainly progressed into sophisticated equipment like laser listening devices, remote listening/viewing devices, covert wireless bugs, and so much more. Eavesdropping protection and information security is becoming increasingly important to companies within the United States and around the world. Unfortunately, many American businesses are completely unaware to the widening dangers of economic crime that is costing corporate America over 100 Billion in 2005. Today corporations are forced to take matters into their own hands and employ qualified Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) investigators to ensure trade secrets are just those… secrets. Regular sweeps of boardrooms, conference rooms, and presentation facilities prior to meetings in which sensitive information will be discussed is common today. The TSCM sweep is a regular part of due diligence in protecting sensitive information from migrating into the hands of competitors. Because of the covert nature of illegal eavesdropping, it is impossible to determine how many businesses and governments are being bugged. The United States government has conducted many studies and it’s a multimillion dollar business. Even without exact statistics, some conclusions are extremely painfully plain.

Conclusions:

• Many businesses are victims of eavesdropping and don't even know it.
• Those companies who do discover eavesdropping do not want to report it.
• In every major city, there are dozens of illegal eavesdropping operations going on.
• For every illegal wiretap uncovered, there are at least ten times as many.
• This results in hundreds of millions of dollars in lost profits.
• This generates hundreds of millions of dollars of illicitly gained profits for criminals.
• Potential victims of eavesdropping can save millions of potential losses by retaining a qualified technical surveillance countermeasures investigator.
