What can I expect to pay for a professional TSCM counter surveillance inspection?
The cost of counter surveillance inspections.
The cost for a professional TSCM operation is dependent upon a number of factors:
- The size and number of rooms/vehicles to be inspected.
- The amount of telephone/fax/computer lines and cabling to be inspected.
- The number of floor/wall boxes outlets, and structured cabling.
- The amount of computers or specialist electronic equipment within the target areas.
- The travel time to and from the target location(s).
- The frequency of the TSCM inspections will usually affect the cost. A client having 4 TSCM inspections per year should pay less per sweep than a client who commissions only one bug sweep per year.
