TSCM Operational Standard
- Policy and Procedure Guideline (OS-PPG) TM
The Technical Security Branch (TSB) has developed
a proprietary Operational Standard - Policy and Procedure Guideline
(OS-PPG) TM based on (30+) years of experience in
providing professional level TSCM services.
Our Operational Standard - Policy and Procedure Guideline (OS-PPG)
TM is one of the
most up-to-date Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) resources
available. This administrative and technical
manual is the primary training, Technical Security Specialist (TSS)
TM certification, and operational policy and procedure of the Technical
Security Branch (TSB) and is continuously updated monthly.
Our OS-PPG TM is the only operational
technical standard in existence and sets the minimum standards for equipment
resources, personnel training and experience, and operational methods
and techniques.
Word of Warning
It is an unfortunate reality that there is an
entire industry of fly-by-night marketing types selling a wide range of
TSCM equipment and services to the public and corporations, who get
caught up in the “Spy” phenomena.
Whether
consciously or by negligence, these fly-by-night operators provide
so-called TSCM inspections of limited or no value what so ever.
These services do little more than further degrade
the overall technical security posture of the target facility, and
instill a dangerous false sense of security in the mind of the client
relying on their sub par services. Sadly,
many of these sub-par operators are associated with normally reputable
security and investigation agencies and lack the specialized equipment
required, current certification training, operational experience and ethical
standards expected by the end-user client.
Before you contract TSCM
related services you should determine the experience and reputation of
the actual TSCM operator and obtain a comprehensive list of the actual
equipment resources that will be utilized during the inspection.
