Counter Surveillance Scotland

Counter Surveillance Teams Scotland

Dion International counter-surveillance teams in Scotland employ a set of actions that, when followed correctly, reduce the risk of surveillance and help to identify any hostile surveillance teams.  Counter surveillance refers to measures that are usually undertaken to prevent surveillance, including covert surveillance.  Counter surveillance may include electronic methods such as technical surveillance counter-measures, which is the process of detecting surveillance devices.  It can also include covert listening devices, visual surveillance devices, and counter-surveillance software to thwart unwanted cybercrime, such as accessing computing and mobile devices for various nefarious reasons, this includes theft of financial, personal or corporate data.

Counter surveillance is different from surveillance, as the latter does not aim to prevent or reduce surveillance.  Counter surveillance is a series of drills that will be conducted by a third party team and Anti surveillance is a series of drills that can be conducted by yourself to deter or identify any surveillance team if carried out correctly.  After an extensive risk analysis, we will deliver a bespoke protection service, tailored to the unique needs of our clients in Scotland.
