TSCM audit in the US
From Manhattan deal rooms to West Coast R&D campuses, the United States generates the world's largest volume of commercially motivated surveillance. TSCM Partners delivers technical surveillance countermeasures audits nationwide — corporate facilities, executive residences, and vehicles — with indicative pricing upfront and a documented report at the end.
What is driving demand
Trade-secret theft
Trade-secret litigation under the DTSA has made documented protection of confidential information a board-level issue. An audit shows reasonable measures were taken — and finds the leak if there is one.
M&A and activist pressure
Deal rooms, earnings preparation, and board deliberations move markets. Pre-transaction audits and pre-meeting sweeps are standard practice at serious firms.
Executive and family privacy
High-profile executives and high-net-worth families face trackers, hidden cameras, and residential bugging — often during disputes or periods of media attention.
Where we work in the US
Corporate engagements concentrate in the major markets — New York, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area — but coverage is nationwide, including multi-site programs for organizations with distributed facilities.
Typical corporate pricing runs in the $2–$5 per square foot range depending on the electronic density of the site and the threat profile; residential audits are usually flat-fee. Details are in the cost guide, and every engagement starts with a confidential scoping conversation and an indicative quote.
The US legal context
Federal law (18 U.S.C. § 2511) and state statutes criminalize the interception of oral communications, and many states add specific offenses for hidden cameras and GPS trackers. If a device is found, preserved evidence and a documented chain of custody are what allow your counsel to act — which is why the audit report matters as much as the detection.
For companies, a recurring TSCM program supports the 'reasonable measures' standard courts apply to trade-secret protection, and complements existing information-security controls that stop at the network boundary.
Same standard, wherever you are
TSCM Partners applies one methodology and one reporting format across all regions, so multi-site organisations get comparable results. See also: TSCM audit UK and TSCM audit Europe.
Regional questions
Do you operate in all US states?
Yes. Engagements are scheduled nationwide, with travel quoted at scoping. Multi-site programs across several states use the same methodology and reporting format for comparability.
Can an audit support trade-secret litigation?
Yes. The documented report — scope, method, findings, and evidence handling — is designed to be usable by counsel, and demonstrates the reasonable protective measures that trade-secret claims require.
How does pricing work for US corporate audits?
Corporate audits are typically priced per square foot, commonly $2–$5 depending on complexity and threat profile. Residential audits are usually flat-fee, often starting around $3,000 for a typical property. Indicative pricing is provided before any commitment.
Can you sweep our boardroom before a specific meeting?
Yes. Pre-meeting sweeps are a core service — most effective when the room has been fully audited previously so the team is verifying a known-clean baseline.
