ABSTRACT
News reports about spy cams, bugs and wiretaps found in commercial facilities are increasing. Increases in electronic surveillance detection inspections within facilities parallel this trend. “The generally accepted corporate and government security practice is quarterly inspections; with bi-annual inspections being the next most common schedule. The process is very economical if planned properly. It is rarely necessary to “check everything.” Creating a hierarchy of areas being inspected increases effectiveness and reduces costs. Eavesdropping detection inspection services are usually charged on a per-item basis, or in the case of smaller assignments, a pre-agreed upon flat rate. All budgets may be accommodated simply by inspecting the most sensitive areas first. Counterespionage consulting is usually billed on a daily basis.
