Director, TSCM Partners Ltd
I build the systems that keep private conversations private.
I work where physical security meets technical security: finding covert devices, measuring how far confidential speech travels, and assessing the physical routes into a building that firewalls do not cover. I also write the software that measures and records that work, which is unusual in this field and is most of why my reports look the way they do.
Free tools, no email required: score your proximity risk maturity or size a speech privacy problem.
The buyer's standard
Twenty questions to ask anyone who wants to sweep your boardroom. Free, and written so a competitor can pass it.

The frameworks
PASM, the maturity score, the speech privacy levels and the six-stage method — published in full, not gated.

What I have built
Live systems you can open and use, with the engineering described rather than adjectives about it.

Why the second half of the job is unusual
The part that is genuinely unusual is the second half of the job. Almost everyone in technical surveillance countermeasures comes from a police or military background and buys their tooling. Almost everyone who builds security software has never physically searched a boardroom. I do both, so the frameworks on this site are not marketing artefacts. They are the things I needed to exist in order to do the work consistently, and I published them because an industry that cannot be measured cannot be held to a standard.
I am not a conference speaker and I do not sell through fear. If you want to know whether I am any good, read the frameworks, check the registers, and ask me the questions in the buyer's standard.
