The most recent jobs reports predict that at least a quarter, if not up to 40% of the American workforce, will never return to the office. Huge companies like Twitter, DropBox and Zillow are now fully remote… with other large employers like Ford Motor Co. and Google employing a hybrid model. What does this mean for company security going forward in this new business environment?
For many, many years 80% of the requests Martin Investigative Services received for bug sweeps – to ensure a workplace remained free of illegal audio/visual recording devices – came in annually from executives in corporate America. We swept offices, boardrooms and manufacturing facilities – and sometimes, a chief executive’s home office. These days, most key players work remotely, causing a boom in the need for the most highly skilled technicians with the latest state-of-the-art equipment to become ever more mobile and flexible.
I want to stress that working from home requires raising the bar on security, not lowering it. I can count on one hand the number of legitimate bug sweep professionals in the U.S. that have the training, expertise and equipment to perform technical surveillance counter measures (TSCM), especially over wide networks of people in various locations. The last thing any company needs is some pretender from the internet showing up at an executive’s home with a cheap magic wand bought online. These devices are capable of detecting if your stereo is on or a plane is overhead. They simply do not locate illegal devices. Our professional equipment and highly trained technicians find all transmitters powered by batteries and phone lines, along with all covert cameras.
Martin Investigative Services continues to expand with the times. We now offer nationwide sweeps of business and homes, with all work being completed and supervised by former agents of the DEA, FBI, IRS or Secret Service. Nothing gets by these people; the peace of mind to speak freely and transmit information safely, assured of unwanted surveillance, is priceless for any business and home tranquility.
