MIS is a Company who’s main business is TSCM, it is not just an added service.
If you feel that you need a sweep done, there are several elements to consider. Technical Surveillance Countermeasures is a very complicated process, and requires a great deal of knowledge in the field to properly address the problem. Additionally, very unique and costly equipment must be used to evaluate any possible threats.
Can you do it yourself? Yes, to a certain degree, however the results will be limited to the range and performance of the equipment used, and your understanding of the nature of the problem. Do you know?
- What a "bug" looks like?
- How a "bug" works?
- How is a "bug" powered, and where is it likely to be hidden?
- Where is a "wiretap" likely to be located
- What type of telephone tap could be present
- Are you competent in the equipment used, and confident of the results obtained?
The theft of information is an important and costly event to the victim. People do have access to the necessary bugs, taps, and transmitters to achieve this goal. The response to the problem is limited only to the degree of concern to the client!
Be aware! There are several persons (investigators) who claim to be able to carry out this service. Find out if they are equipped, trained, and licensed to perform a professional TSCM sweep.
MIS is:
- Licensed under the Ministry of the Attorney General to perform TSCM tasks
- Insured and Bonded in this Field
- Has the equipment to deal with all issues dealing with Electronic Surveillance
- Trained and certified by the manufacturer
- Knowledgeable in current threats and detection procedures

MIS is equipped to deal with all the likely sources of threats. Some of the equipment used is:
- REI CMP-700 Broadband receiver Standard and NewBMP-1200 Probes (5Mhz to 12 Ghz), provides quick assessment of site, location of transmitter, checks for carrier current transmitters and hook line bypass on telephone systems New CPP 02-150 Hyper-sensitive Carrier Current Probe (Released - Nov. 2006)
- REI OSCOR New Version 5.0 Enhanced Released Fall 2006 Omni Spectral Correlator, this unit address specific frequencies in the AM, WAM, FM, WFM, SSB, CW and Sub Carrier modulations. It will also assess the threat of IF transmitters. Completely computerized, the unit is capable of a wide range of functions from the demodulating of carrier current, video signals to the sonic location of hardwired microphones. It has the capability of identifying and locating "snuggle bugs" and ‘burst transmitters"
- New OPC 5.05 Analyzing Software for OSCOR Released Oct. 2008. Allows the OSCOR to perform RF Mapping and Trace Analysis – the two newest detection techniques available
- NewMDC-2100 Microwave Down Converter This specialized antenna allows the OSCOR to extend its range from 3 Ghz to 21 Ghz (All currently available transmitters)
- New ALL-900 Acoustic Noise Tester when used in conjunction with REI Spectrum Analysis Software allows for evaluation and installation of the ANG-2200 Acoustic Noise Generator (perimeter protection noise masking system)
- Audiotel Superbroom Resembling a "metal detector" this unit is known as a Non Linear Junction Detector. The purpose of the NLJD is to locate and identify semiconductors. These semiconductors do not have to be powered to be located.
- Triplett Model 4 Telephone Analyzer, Line Noise and Balance Tests
- R-B Time Domain Reflector The TDR as it is commonly referred to is a form of "cable radar". The unit will identify and locate any "faults" in cable or telephone lines. Taps can be found in this way.
- Fluke 87-3 Multimeter This is a high-end Multimeter capable of finding any electrical variances/resistance in powered lines such as a telephone line. Various tests will indicate the presence of series or parallel taps.
