Protecting the Spoken Word in Asia™ — Privacy Technical Audits, Bug Sweeping & Counter-Espionage since 1992.

The privacy technical audit in full: a radio-frequency spectrum examination, a physical search of the fabric of the room including fixtures, furniture, power and cabling, inspection of conference and telephony systems in place, and thermal and non-linear junction detection where the environment calls for it. The engagement ends with a written report of findings and practical recommendations, delivered only to you.

Cyber TSCM is an onsite audit of your network infrastructure viewed as an eavesdropping surface: rogue access points, unauthorised devices on the LAN, compromised VoIP and video-conference systems, and misconfigurations that leak conversations rather than data. A penetration test asks whether an outsider can get in; Cyber TSCM asks whether anything inside is already listening.

It is how Risk3 scopes and prices every sweep. Mark any floor plan in three colours: red for spaces where a loss would be unrecoverable, swept every visit and priced first; yellow for the spaces that hear the red rooms; green for tertiary areas covered as time allows or rotated across a programme. The colours become the fixed quotation, so fees concentrate where the risk concentrates.

Yes. Most corporate sweeps are delivered overnight or at weekends so that staff, visitors and any watching party see nothing out of the ordinary. Where a cover story is needed for building management or facilities, we agree it with you in advance.

We stop, secure the area and brief you away from the room. Nothing is touched until you decide, with counsel where appropriate, whether to preserve the device evidentially, feed it controlled information, where lawful, to identify the operator, or remove it. Risk3 documents every find to a standard that supports later civil, employment or criminal action.

Routinely. Engagements can be structured under legal privilege from the first call, findings are reported in a form counsel can use, and the practice has given expert witness reporting and oral evidence to the courts of Hong Kong and Singapore.

Longer than most expect. A single boardroom done properly — spectrum, physical search, conference systems, cabling — typically takes four to eight hours. The red-yellow-green floor plan concentrates those hours where the risk concentrates; anything materially quicker for a comparable scope is unlikely to be a thorough inspection.

Risk-based. Red rooms before every board cycle or transaction, quarterly for most clients with sustained exposure; yellow and green areas rotated across the programme. A one-off sweep answers today's question; a scheduled programme keeps the answer current.

A baseline inspection of new premises before your people, furniture and technology arrive: legacy cabling, abandoned equipment, the previous tenant's access points and anything the fit-out left behind. It is the cheapest sweep to do properly, because the rooms are empty — and every later inspection can be measured against a known-clean baseline.

Yes. Designing a boardroom to resist eavesdropping — acoustic isolation, cable routing, sound masking, access control and construction-phase inspections — costs a fraction of retrofitting the same protections after occupation. We work with your architects and contractors from drawings to handover, and sweep before the room goes live.

It depends on the rooms, not the building. Fees are quoted fixed and in advance from your red-yellow-green floor plan: a single boardroom or executive office is a different engagement from a full floor, and the red rooms are priced first. The figure you accept is the figure you pay for the scope you accepted — travel at cost, no on-site revisions. If the rooms materially differ from the plan supplied, we tell you and re-quote before work continues. Be wary of any sweep priced cheap and by the hour with no defined scope; a proper quotation costs nothing. Send a marked floor plan by Signal and we will return a fixed fee.

Carry on as normal, and say nothing about your suspicion inside the space concerned. Do not search for the device yourself, and do not discuss a sweep on the phones, email or networks tied to that environment — if something is listening, it hears the plan to find it. Contact us from a different location, on a personal device, by telephone or Signal. The first confidential consultation carries no fee, and if a sweep is not the right answer we will say so.
