Lawyers must protect communications and information for both their own firms as well as their clients. TSCM electronic security sweeps are necessary for insuring confidentiality.
I was recently interviewed by Sharon Nelson and John Simek on the Legal Talk Network for their Digital Detectives Podcast. I gave an overview of TSCM and reviewed a number of concerns, especially those facing lawyers today.
Sharon and John run Sensei Enterprises, Inc. a nationally known digital forensics, information security and technology support company serving the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. On their monthly podcast, Sharon and John typically cover cyber threats, digital technology, and computer investigations for attorneys and others in legal fields.
As a lawyer, sometimes paranoia is a good thing. Legal professionals are constantly handling sensitive information that needs protection, whether it’s details about a case or client data. In this episode of Digital Detectives, hosts Sharon Nelson and John Simek talk to Charles Patterson about TSCM (technical surveillance countermeasures) and how this extra level of security can ensure your private information stays private. As the president of Exec Security, a TSCM services company, Charles shares about why lawyers need TSCM, how these sweeps are performed, and provides tips on how to protect yourself from situations that could compromise your confidential information.

Those seeking to invade your privacy, steal your information, or intercept your communications have access to advanced technical eavesdropping devices. Hiring a professional TSCM firm like Exec Security is the way to insure you have done your best to protect and secure that information.
