Private TSCM audit
If you have reason to believe your home, vehicle, or private space is under surveillance, a private TSCM audit gives you certainty. TSCM Partners inspects residences, estates, vehicles, and venues for hidden cameras, listening devices, and GPS trackers — with the same professional equipment used on corporate engagements and absolute discretion throughout.
What private clients ask us to inspect
Residences and estates
Full inspection of living spaces, guest areas, home offices, and grounds for hidden cameras, microphones, and network compromise — with complete discretion.
Vehicles
Cars are a common target for GPS trackers and audio devices. A vehicle audit covers tracker detection, cabin inspection, and OBD/electrical checks.
High-profile individuals and families
Executives, public figures, and high-net-worth families face elevated surveillance risk. Recurring audits of homes, vehicles, and travel accommodation reduce it.
Disputes and separations
Contentious divorces, custody disputes, and business fallouts are among the most frequent triggers for planted devices in private settings.
VIP venues and events
Pre-event sweeps of hotel suites, meeting venues, and hospitality spaces before sensitive gatherings or negotiations away from the office.
After a specific concern
If someone has hinted they know things they should not, or you have found something suspicious, a reactive audit establishes the facts and preserves evidence.
If you suspect surveillance right now
- Behave normally. Do not announce your suspicion inside the property or search for devices — this tips off whoever is listening.
- Move sensitive conversations elsewhere. Talk outdoors or in a location the concern does not cover.
- Contact us from a trusted device. Use a phone or computer you are confident is clean, ideally away from the property.
- Let the audit establish facts. A professional inspection either finds the device and preserves the evidence, or gives you documented peace of mind.

Private audit questions
I think my house is bugged. What should I do first?
Do not discuss your suspicion inside the property or on devices you believe may be compromised. Contact us from a different location using a device you trust, such as a work phone or a new number. Do not attempt to find or remove devices yourself — this alerts whoever placed them and can destroy evidence.
How discreet is a private TSCM audit?
Completely. Teams arrive in unmarked vehicles, in plain clothes, at a time that suits your household. Findings are shared only with you, and nothing about the engagement is visible to neighbours, staff, or family members you have not informed.
Can you check my car for a GPS tracker?
Yes. Vehicle audits are one of the most requested private services. The inspection covers magnetic and hard-wired trackers, audio devices, and telematics or OBD-port hardware, and can be done alongside a residential audit or on its own.
What happens if you find a device?
You decide the next step with our guidance. Options include removing the device, leaving it in place to avoid alerting the operator while you take legal advice, and involving law enforcement. All findings are photographed and documented so evidence is preserved.
